A sample record

Ten years of Lela's record, kept for life.

This is what a child's Giftling ledger looks like after a decade — every gift, transfer, experience, subscription and promise, with who gave it, what it was for, and the note they left. It's made-up data, laid out exactly the way the real thing is.

How an entry gets here

A giver records it on Lela's page — the toy they bought, the transfer they made, the promise they're making.
The parent confirms it arrived. Nothing joins the record on a giver's word alone, and a mistake can be corrected later.
It's kept for good — who, what, when, what it was for, and the note — through every plan, and handed over at eighteen.

Exporting the record is part of the occasion pass — R 199 for one occasion, bought from the occasion card on the child's dashboard.
