Want to make your Boombox even more surprising and interactive? While Boombox captures photos and personal messages in a gorgeous keepsake box, you can add a Tribute video link with a QR code so your recipient hears those voices and sees those smiles too. This guide shows you how to bring video memories into your Boombox gift in a way that feels seamless and magical.

What You’ll Need

Step 1: Create Your Tribute Video

First up — make your Tribute where friends and family share their video messages.

  1. Go to Tribute.co and sign in or create an account.
  2. Click Start a Tribute and follow the simple steps.
  3. When it’s ready, click Publish & Pay and choose the option that fits you:
    • DIY Tribute — you make and edit the video yourself
    • Concierge Tribute — our team helps collect & edit
    • Deluxe Tribute — full concierge plus video playbook keepsake
  4. Customize your Tribute with prompts and a warm welcome message, then invite loved ones by email.

Pro tip: Start your Tribute video project at least 2–3 weeks before your planned gifting date so everyone has time to contribute.

Step 2: Copy Your Tribute Link

Once your Tribute is live:

  1. Open your Tribute project in your Tribute dashboard.
  2. Click Copy near the Tribute’s public link — this is what you’ll turn into a QR code.

Step 3: Generate a QR Code in Canva

Now let’s make a scannable code for your video link.

  1. Open Canva and click Create a design.
  2. Pick a size that will print nicely on a card or label (e.g., 5″ × 5″).
  3. In Elements, search for QR code and add it to your canvas.
  4. Paste your Tribute link into the URL field to generate the code.

Start from a blank canvas or use one of Canva’s QR code templates — your choice!

Step 4: Make It Look Great

Design your QR so it matches your Boombox vibe:

  • Add a sweet title like “Scan for video messages”
  • Use borders or colors that match your Boombox theme
  • Keep the actual code area high contrast so it scans easily

Design tip: QR codes scan best when the code itself is dark on a light background.

Step 5: Download Your QR Code

Once your design is ready:

  1. Click Share → Download in Canva.
  2. Choose PNG (crisp and print-friendly).

Save the file to your computer.

Step 6: Add the QR Code to Your Boombox

Now let’s integrate the QR code into your keepsake box.

  1. Print the QR code image on a card or label that fits inside your Boombox.
  2. Add it among your Boombox cards and photos — consider a dedicated spot like the top layer or a pocket page.
  3. Pair it with a short note like “Scan to watch video messages!”

Because Boombox is all about thoughtful surprises, this adds a digital layer to your physical memento without changing how Boombox works.

Step 7: Test Before You Gift

Before you seal the box:

  1. Scan your printed QR code with your phone.
  2. Make sure it sends you straight to your Tribute video collection.

If anything doesn’t scan easily, tweak the size, contrast, or placement before printing again.

The Big Wow Moment 🎁

When your recipient opens their Boombox, they’ll:

  • Find beautiful photos and heartfelt messages,
  • Discover a QR code nestled among the memories,
  • Tap into warm video messages from loved ones — all with a simple scan.

That one extra touch turns a beautiful set of photos and notes into a multi-sensory, multi-layered gift experience that keeps joy alive long after the box is opened.
