A keepsake gift that gets better with time!

Say goodbye to piles of greeting cards and give a gift that truly lasts. At Journals Not Cards, I believe that your love, memories, and stories deserve more than a one-time note that is either recycled or tucked away in a box where it is rarely seen again. That's why I created the Loved Journal - a timeless alternative to traditional greeting cards. Perfect for birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, new babies, and every milestone in between, the Loved Journal is designed to be treasured for years to come.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (If I could give more, I would!)

I have been wanting this journal for a long time, and it is everything I hoped for and more! Instead of receiving cards that get tucked away or lost, this journal allows loved ones to leave meaningful messages that I can cherish forever. The quality is outstanding, and the heart behind the creator is pure gold.

I can't wait to start filling it with notes from my kids—messages I can look back on even after they’ve grown and started families of their own. I also love the idea of my husband adding to it as our relationship continues to grow and evolve, and for friends and family to leave their words during visits.

This is more than just a journal; it’s a lifelong keepsake of love and memories. Five stars aren’t enough! Highly recommend!

This is a beautiful book! I plan to give to my sister for her birthday! I know she will love it, and the premise behind it!

It's a thoughtful and unique gift for the person who has everything! I think she will love it, too!

Loved them

I bought 3 of these, 2 for a wedding gift and the other for a baby gift for my grand daughter. I showed them to my husband loved them as well.

I love thinking that new marriages and growing families can start this tradition right from the start! I specifically designed them to be appealing to everyone, and I'm glad your husband loves them, too!

Beautiful Journal

I'm still deciding how I want to use this journal---if I want to use like a card, for company to leave a message, to share notes between my kids......so many ideas.
This is so high quality and love to support a small business.

There really are so many ways to use it! The hardest part is making that first mark. Thank you for supporting our small family business!

Great gift!

I received a journal as a gift from someone and it was so thoughtful! It helped me feel appreciated by the gift-giver and now I have a way to pay it forward at home with my family!

I love that this gift made you feel seen and appreciated! It's so nice to be able to take a look at the journal after a long, hard day and be reminded of the love that is in your life. I hope you and your family continue to enjoy it for years to come!
