FAQs
-
What is a playlist code and how does it work?
A playlist code is a scannable QR-like code (Spotify/YouTube/Apple) that directly opens a specific music playlist when scanned via a phone camera or music app. It’s simple to generate (e.g. via Spotify “Share → Embed code”), and teens just scan it at the party or later to enjoy tunes curated by the host. -
Why are edible gifts paired with playlist codes a hit for teens?
Teens love multisensory, personalized experiences. Combining delicious printed chocolates with a scan-to-play music link layers edible enjoyment with emotional and shareable content, making it memorable and Instagram-worthy. -
What size packaging works well for return gifts at teen parties?
Individual keepsake boxes (~50–100 g of chocolates) with printed outer and inner surfaces work well. They’re compact enough to handle, yet premium enough as keepsakes—especially when paired with a playlist code inside the lid. -
Can playlist codes be used offline?
Playlist codes require internet connection at scan time, but the playlist can be pre-downloaded on the music app for offline playback. That way, guests can scan and enjoy the music even without ongoing connectivity. -
Are these music-themed gifts cost-effective?
Yes. Even in India, customizable mini chocolate boxes with printed wrappers and QR code cards can fit budgets from ₹150–₹300 per person. Premium versions with wooden boxes may cost ₹500–₹800 but deliver a high perceived value. -
How to curate the playlist content?
Choose trending tracks that match the party theme: popular Bollywood, pop, hip-hop, or teen‑friendly international songs. Keep the playlist around 30–60 minutes, include variety, and add a few surprises like birthday shoutouts or insider humor. -
What are eco-friendly options for these gifts?
Use recyclable or reusable wooden boxes, minimal packaging plastic, and digital playlists to reduce waste. Encourage guests to reuse the boxes or share the playlist digitally, reducing paper/foil use. -
Are there any legal or copyright issues with sharing playlists?
Sharing playlists via official platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, or YouTube is legal when recipients access them through their own subscriptions. Avoid distributing music files directly—just share the code to public playlists. -
How do I ensure all teens can open the playlist?
Use platforms popular in India like Spotify (free tier) or YouTube. Include clear scanning instructions on the card. Test the code beforehand on both Android and iOS devices. -
What if some guests don’t like the music genre?
Include variety—Bollywood, pop, upbeat instrumentals. Make playlists flexible by adding an ask: “Scan for vibes playlist, plus link to add your own song suggestion”. Guests feel included, and you can build a group mix post‑event.
