The Perfect Gift

There’s no better way to tell someone how much they mean to you than a love letter.

With the rise of modern technology, the art of letter writing may have fallen to the wayside. But at one time, it was the primary form of express your love.

On June 23, 1994, American singer-songwriter Johnny Cash wrote what's thought to be the most romantic love letter to date. Have a read!

Can you imagine receiving that?! 🥰

We have some great news for you, folks. Letter writing is back in fashion!

Everyone wants to feel the way June Carter felt when she opened that letter on her birthday. Whether it’s for a birthday, an anniversary, or just a special dinner, why not write a letter to make your partner feel as special as they are?!

We’ll show you how to celebrate your partner with this age old tradition and share five tips to help you author your love letter without stress.

Tip I

🎊 Sentimental Surprise

Surprise your partner by delivering the letter in a unique way! Try slipping it under their pillow, posting it on the bathroom mirror while they’re in the shower, or leaving it at their seat at the table with a fresh made cup of coffee. The unexpected discovery will fill their heart with warmth before they've even read a word. If you’re feeling extra creative, why not set up a little scavenger hunt with clues leading to the letter’s location?

Tip II

💕 Cover in Compliments

Shower your love with compliments, but go beyond the basic flattery. Instead of just saying, "you're beautiful," describe the way their smile lights up the room, or how their laughter sends a shiver down your spine. Don’t forget to use descriptive language! Lean into your favourite things about them. Unique compliments will make your love letter feel even more special.

Tip III

💭 Mosey down Memory Lane

Remember some cherished memories and recall the precious moments you've shared together. Describe in detail the first time you met, your unforgettable adventures, or the way their hand fits perfectly in yours. Remind them of the incredible journey you've been on together. Don't shy away from expressing your deepest emotions and vulnerabilities. They may be surprised at some of the details you remember!

Tip IV

✍️ Don’t Pretend to be a Poet

Be you. Forget about Shakespearean sonnets unless you're secretly a 17th-century poet. Your love letter should reflect your genuine self, so write in a style that feels natural to you. Use everyday language, inside jokes, and even a touch of humor to make your message uniquely personal. It doesn’t need to be flowery!

Tip V

🔮 Focus on the Future

Talking about your past is a great way to express your feelings, but ending the letter with a focus on your future together is the way to go. Let your partner know that your love will endure, that you'll always be there through thick and thin. Leave them with a sense of anticipation for the beautiful moments that lie ahead. Remind them that although you’ve already had so many wonderful memories, there are so many more to come.

✨ Bonus Tips

For a Personal Touch…

Handwrite your letter instead of typing, include small but meaningful mementos (like a dried flower or a ticket stub), add a simple doodle or sketch to the page, if you speak another language incorporate it into the writing, include lyrics from an important song or a line from a poem…

Still feeling funky about it? No worries… we got you!
