About Charis

Our Story

Charis started with a single question: how do you send someone a gift that feels as thoughtful as showing up in person? Generic cards and gift cards rarely say what you actually mean, so we set out to build a way to put real thought, real moments, and a little bit of magic into a digital gift anyone can send in minutes.

What's in a Name?

Charis is pronounced “KAIR‑iss” (rhymes with Paris). It comes from an Ancient Greek word meaning “grace,” “favor,” and “kindness” — an unmerited gift freely given. It speaks to something deeper than a transaction: the idea that a gift, at its best, is a reflection of how much someone matters to you.

Why We Built This

Going the extra mile to personalize a moment for someone is surprisingly rare — and it never fails to bring genuine joy. That spark of delight when someone realizes you put real thought into their gift is what Charis is about.

We pair that idea with smart, easy-to-use tools and a careful product team so that anyone — without design or writing skills — can create something beautiful and deeply personal in just a few minutes. Our values are simple: kindness, creativity, and thoughtful connection.

What Charis Does

Charis lets you build a personalized digital gift for someone you care about. Start with a custom quiz, add a photo reveal, or make it a keepsake with a personalized song — all shaped around your relationship. The recipient gets a link to a page made just for them.

And if you'd like to add something practical, you can optionally attach a gift card you've purchased separately from the retailer — Charis simply reveals its code as a final surprise after they've explored everything.

Our Mission

This app is meant for people who want to share kindness with their loved ones in a way that is engaging, encouraging, and genuinely personal. We believe that a little thoughtfulness goes a long way.
