Life gets hectic and sometimes gets by us without us even realising it. Whether it is school or work, we get wrapped up with it all and forget to make time for ourselves and our loved ones.
For those looking for bite-sized ways to better connect with friends, Snapchat’s Snap Minis are the best pocket utilities made for friends to interact and share social experiences together. Whether it is sending your best wishes, making a deck of flashcards, or outdoing one another in learning the stock market, Minis can bring friends together for just about anything.
Never forget another birthday – make your friends feel extra special with Birthday Minis
Snapchat’s latest Snap Mini – the Birthdays Mini pulls together a list of all your friends who have allowed their birthday to be seen on Snapchat (Snapchatters can allow their birthday to be seen through Settings > Birthday). You can wish your friends a happy birthday with unique stickers or send special birthday snaps with Lenses to commemorate their big day. You can even countdown your own birthday. Friends can swipe to unlock the Lens and enter the Mini to check it out for themselves.
The Birthdays Mini makes it easier to see all of our friends’ birthdays in one place, to help you remember important upcoming birthdays, and plan for their special day!
If you’re feeling extra fancy, why not drop them a customised birthday card? No snail mail required when all you need to do is Snap one over with the Givingli Mini! Simply choose your favourite design, and add a personal touch with the personalisation tools before sending it as a Snap:
Give the gift of connectivity to your friends – literally!
When you say that your presence is your present to your friends on their birthdays, there’s a way to make that saying even truer! The Ding Mini will easily allow you to surprise your friends with the gift of connectivity.
Make use of special discounts and get yourself or your friends a prepaid top-up from telco services like Celcom, Digi, and Maxis. You can even send international top-ups to friends living overseas. Now, that’s what we call staying connected!
