Halloween is October 31 — 21 days to create the perfect group gift. Start now →
Everyone draws one piece. We put it all together. What arrives has your cousin's handwriting, your best friend's doodle, your dad's attempt at a flower — and something no store has ever sold.

Each piece is drawn by someone who loves the recipient. Together they make something no algorithm could generate and no store has ever stocked.

You send a link. People draw. It ships. No chasing, no coordinating, no late-night reminder texts.
Pick a theme, choose your print, invite people with a personal link. Done in 3 minutes. No one else needs an account.
Each person gets their own private canvas. They draw something — anything — and submit. Takes about 2 minutes on any device.
We assemble every drawing into one artwork, print it, and ship it. You approve it before anything goes to print.
“Will my people actually do it?”
The most common thing we hear. Here's what they experience: they click a link, see a blank canvas on their phone, draw something — a doodle, a heart, your aunt's brave attempt at a rose — and hit submit. Under 2 minutes. No account, no app, no friction.
Even the technophobes show up.
Five steps. You handle one. We handle the rest.
1Create your campaign
Pick a theme, set a deadline, choose your print format. Takes 2 minutes.
2Everyone draws
Each person gets a personal link, draws their piece on their phone, and pays their seat.
3We assemble it
Our team composes all the drawings into one cohesive artwork and you approve it.
4Printed & shipped
Printed on museum-quality material and shipped directly to the recipient.
5On the wall forever
A one-of-a-kind piece made by the people who love them most.
The moment that matters
“Imagine unwrapping a gift drawn by twenty people who love you.”
That's what people tell us. Not that the print quality was good. Not that it arrived on time. That the person held it and didn't want to put it down.

“I sent the link on a Monday. By Thursday I had 18 drawings. I honestly thought half of them would flake. The print is now the first thing you see when you walk into her apartment.”
“My team is fully remote, across four time zones. I was dreading the coordination. But nobody needed coordinating — they just drew. The print went up in his home office the day it arrived.”
“My kids are 6 and 9. They drew their pieces on the iPad in about three minutes each. My parents still can't believe it's assembled from all those little drawings.”
A note from me
I built this because group gifts are usually a letdown.
A rushed card passed around the office. A gift card no one really wanted. A Venmo request with an awkward note. I kept watching people who genuinely care about each other end up with something they'd forget by Tuesday — not from lack of love, but from lack of a better option.
TraceAndTale is what I wished existed. Something made together, that actually looks like it. If you create a gift and it moves someone — email us. We actually want to know.
