Valentine's Day

A Valentine's gift for him or her that says what a card cannot: here is our whole story.

Flowers and dinner are the Valentine's gift everyone gives. A personalized love book is the one only you could give: your fourteen memories, written in your voice like a long love letter and painted from your photos, as a 30-page hardcover. It is a Valentine's gift for him or for her that is entirely about the two of you, and you approve every page before it prints.

A love letter, at book length

The best Valentine's gift most people ever received was a letter. A LoveNote is that letter at book length: how you met, what you noticed, the night you knew, told in order and in your words, with the two of you painted into each scene. You give the memories in plain notes; the writing is done for you, and you change any line that does not sound like you.

For him

Men are hard to buy for and easy to move. A book that remembers the first text, the terrible first date and the trip where it all made sense does the second thing. Inside jokes stay in.

For her

She may have said she wants nothing. What she means is nothing from a shop. The story of the two of you, painted from your photos and written as a letter from you, is not from a shop.

Timing

Allow two weeks from your answers to the doorstep. Searches for Valentine's gifts peak the week before the 14th, which is a week too late for a printed book, so if you are reading this in February, start today. More on what a personalized love book is.

Questions people ask

When do I need to order for Valentine's Day?: Allow about two weeks from your answers to the doorstep, so start by the end of January. Orders are not open yet; the first-access list hears the day they do.
Is it too much for a new relationship?: A book is a big gift. If you have been together a few months, a love letter may fit better; if you have a year of memories, a book of them fits. You decide; the book only tells what you give it.
Can it be funny rather than mushy?: Yes. It is written in your voice from your notes. If your story is the one about the wrong restaurant and the flat tyre, that is the book.

See a real one before you decide
