An interactive greeting card system to amaze the recipients is disclosed. The greeting card system comprises a planar sheet body of pre-defined shape comprising a first covering member and a second covering member fixedly attached to each other at their confronting ends, wherein the first covering member is configured to display a plurality of illustrated artwork from outside. The first covering member defines a concealed section which further comprises a plurality of audio files is operably embedded in a microcontroller in the concealed section to selectively play at least one audio file via an inbuilt speaker and a plurality of switches is configured to selectively activate the microcontroller in the concealed section of the second covering member to play a sequence in relation with the predetermined illustrative artwork on the second covering member whenever a user opens the greeting card.

A greeting card assembly having an electronics unit is embedded into the card. Electronics that play a length of music containing consecutive notes that can be selectively played over the speaker. A graphic of at least one instrument is displayed in the card. At least one activation sensor is provided within the graphic. Each activation sensor can be triggered by touching the graphic where the activation sensor is located. When an activation sensor is triggered, the electronics unit plays only one or two notes from the length of music. In this manner, to play the full length of music, the activation sensor must be repeatedly triggered. By strategically positioning the activation sensor in the graphic of the instrument, the repeated triggering of the activation sensor provides the appearance that a user is actually playing the instrument depicted in the graphic.

A greeting card having a greeting card body and an interactive element which includes a mechanical balloon attached to the greeting card body which is operative to move from a flat positon to an inflated position by the operation of a mechanical spring mechanism contained in an interior cavity of the balloon. The greeting card also has audio capabilities wherein a sound module is operative to store and playback at least one audio file upon interaction with a user.

Various themed gift card and gift card holder combinations are disclosed. Some embodiments are contained inside a box along with novelty gift items that are themed or otherwise related to the type of gift card contained therein. Other embodiments contain various three-dimensional pop-up structures and other paper engineered constructs that are shaped, decorated and otherwise themed to match an accompanying gift card. And in yet other embodiments, the gift card holders are directed to specific holidays or special occasions with appropriate gift cards included. Each embodiment may include electronic features, such as audio and light. The packaging of gift card and gift card holder combinations is also disclosed.

A system and method for presenting data items on a card comprising a media device, a radio frequency transceiver, a memory unit and a processor. The media device is configured to render at least one type of media content items. The device is disposed on the card. The radio frequency transceiver receives a data item from at least one user terminal. The memory unit stores a set of program modules. The set of program modules comprises an input module, an output module, and an optimizer module. The input module, is configured to receive the data item from the radio frequency transceiver. The optimizer module is configured to convert the data item into a first media content item, the first media content item being in a format capable to be rendered by the media device. The output module renders the first media content item on the media device.

This invention is a bottle-mounted greeting card upon which graphics and/or text may be displayed for viewing. The card is comprised of integrated bottle flaps that enable adhesion and/or attachment by means to a cylindrical form and 2) the creation of an central window within the confines of the greeting card through which the label of the bottle becomes viewable when the greeting card is attached to the bottle, when otherwise the label on the bottle would be hidden or rendered out of view without said central window.

The interactive greeting card of the present invention combines a greeting card with IR sensor to trigger effects upon the greeting card recipient interacting with the IR sensor. The greeting card contains a hole, opening or aperture therethrough, into which a user may insert his or her finger to trigger one or more special effects such as audio replay, motorized movement of one or more mobile objects attached to the greeting card, or other special effects.

A greeting card having special effects such as lights, sound and motor movement of a pop-up structure. The pop-up structure is in the form of a miniature faux Ferris wheel. When the greeting card is opened, the Ferris wheel begins to turn, the lights are illuminated and audio begins to be emitted through a speaker.

A greeting card that selectively opens and closes. The greeting card assembly simulates a firework display in the background of a foreground message when opened. The greeting card assembly has a card section that contains an internal compartment covered by a top panel. A plurality of cutouts are formed through the top panel that are shaped as firework starbursts. LEDs are positioned within the internal compartment for selectively backlighting the cutouts. A light diffusing element is interposed between the cutouts and the LEDs. A speaker is positioned within the internal compartment for playing a digital soundtrack of exploding fireworks. At least one foreground panel is provided that is positioned a distance from the top panel when the greeting card assembly is opened. When viewed, the foreground panels stand in front of a card section that is playing a soundtrack and flashing lights behind starburst cutouts to simulate background fireworks.

The invention concerns a 3D pop-up card having a foldable base card which has an inner side and an outer side, the base card being foldable along a fold and being reversibly transferable from a folded, closed state to an unfolded, open state, wherein a foldable figure is fixed to the inner side of the base card and the foldable figure unfolds autonomously into a three-dimensional structure when the base card is transferred into an open state, wherein the base card is double-layered, the layer which is on the inside in the closed state having at least one slit on each of the two sides of the fold the base card and the foldable figure being connected to one another via L-shaped connecting pieces, and the first leg of an L-shaped connecting piece engaging in a slit and the second leg of an L-shaped connecting piece being attached to the foldable figure.
