A hardback they can hold · the digital one comes with it

A Valentine's coupon book they'll actually cash in

The trouble with most Valentine's gifts is that they're over by the time the day is. A book of promises is the opposite: it sits on a shelf and keeps arriving all year, every time they decide to redeem one. The gift isn't the card — it's you, on the hook.

We print it as a landscape hardback in boards, one promise to a page, with a line on the back of each to sign the day it's kept. Write the promises yourself, or start from the list below if you'd rather be prompted. It takes about five minutes either way.

The digital book comes with the printed one, so you can send the code the moment you pay and hand over the hardback when it arrives. If you only want the link, that still works and starts at free.

$44.99 — a real hardback, posted. Printed and bound to order in landscape boards, one promise to a page, despatched within 10 days. The digital book is included, so you can send the code the moment you pay.

Valentine's Day is 14 February. This takes five minutes, so leaving it late is survivable.

  1. Stack your promises. Pick from the ideas above or write your own.
  2. Wrap it. Choose a cover, sign a note, and we seal it behind a secret code.
  3. Send the code. They open it, redeem promises whenever, and mark each one kept.

Questions

What do you put in a Valentine's coupon book?

The things they'd never ask for out loud. A lie-in while you handle the morning, a night where the phones stay in a drawer, one argument conceded in advance. Specific beats romantic — "one real date night, actual plans" lands harder than "a night of love", because it sounds like something that will genuinely happen.

Is it a good gift for a boyfriend or husband?

It works precisely because it isn't another object. Promises about time, food and being let off things tend to land better than anything you could wrap, and there's nothing to store afterwards.

Can I print it instead of sending a link?

Yes. Every book has a print view with cut lines, so you can hand over a real stack of coupons. A free book prints with a small Little Promises mark on each coupon; premium prints clean.

How late can I leave it?

It's made and sent in about five minutes, and there's nothing to post. If you're reading this on the 14th, you're still fine.
