摘要： A delivery system for delivering an item accompanied by special effects such as sound is described. The delivery system includes a tube having a cap. Connected to the cap is a sound emitting device, a light sensor and a clip for holding, for example, a card. The sound emitting device and clip are connected to the cap so that when the cap is on the container, the sound emitting device, light sensor and clip are disposed within the container. The card can be attached to the clip. When the cap is removed, the light sensor triggers the sound emitting device to emit a sound such as musical notes or applause, and the card can then be viewed by the recipient of the container simultaneously with listening of the sound.

摘要： A stored-value card includes a housing, a light circuit and an account identifier. The housing includes a cover and a base. The cover and the base each define a respective primary panel and a plurality of side walls extending from the respective primary panel. The plurality of side walls defined by the base abut the plurality of side walls defined by the cover. The light circuit includes a light and a switch. The light circuit is substantially enclosed between the base and the cover, and the light is configured to emit illumination upon user interaction with the switch. The account identifier links the stored-value card to an account or record such that value from the account or record can be used as payment toward a purchase of one or more of goods and services. Stored-value card assemblies and methods of using a stored-value card are also disclosed.

摘要： A transaction product assembly includes a transaction product and a supporting backer. The transaction product includes an account identifier, a primary article, and a panel. The account identifier links the transaction product to at least one of an account and a record, and the account identifier is machine readable by a point-of-sale terminal. The primary article defines a substantially planar surface. The panel extends across the substantially planar surface to define a pocket between the panel and the substantially planar surface. The supporting backer is formed separately from the transaction product and includes a flap extending into the pocket to at least partially couple the supporting backer to the transaction product. Other products, assemblies, combinations and associated methods are also disclosed.
