If You’re Gonna Buy a Valentine’s Gift, At Least Make It a Good One

If You’re Gonna Buy a Valentine’s Gift, At Least Make It a Good One

Let’s be honest—Valentine’s Day gifts are usually a little... predictable. You’ve got the standard playbook:

🍫 Chocolates (eaten in 10 minutes)
🌹 Flowers (dead in three days)
🐻 Stuffed animals (cute, but… why?)

If you’re looking for something that won’t get tossed, forgotten, or regifted to a younger sibling, here’s an idea: a journal.

Before you roll your eyes, hear us out. This isn’t just a notebook—it’s a memory keeper. A place for real, meaningful stuff.

Why a Journal Actually Makes Sense

🔹 Ever read an old text thread and cracked up at something you totally forgot happened? Writing it down keeps it forever.
🔹 People love handwritten notes. Seriously. A random “thinking of you” letter tucked inside? Instant brownie points.
🔹 Self-care? Reflection? Organizing your thoughts? A journal does more for your mental health than another overpriced dinner ever could.

Journaling Prompts for People Who “Don’t Know What to Write”

So you’ve got the journal—now what? Here are a few ways to actually use it:

💡 For couples: Make a list of your favorite inside jokes, places you’ve been, or ridiculous things you’ve argued about (pineapple on pizza, anyone?).
💡 For best friends: Keep a “quote book” of the dumbest/funniest things you’ve said to each other.
💡 For yourself: Write a letter to future you about where you are right now. You’ll thank yourself later.

Oh, and We’ve Got a Deal for You
