Reasons why I love you, one note per tap

Put your reasons why I love you in a jar they open on their phone: each tap pulls out one note with one reason, up to 100 in all. It's a list that feels like a gift, not a message they scroll past.

Free to make. No card until you send it.

Reasons

What to put on it

Starting points. Keep what sounds like you, skip the rest.

  • Fill the jar with one reason for every month you've been together
  • Mix tiny reasons with big ones so every tap surprises them
  • A photo trail matching a few reasons to the moments behind them
  • Your song playing on the retro TV while they read
  • The finale ending with the one reason you couldn't fit in the jar

How the jar of reasons works

The jar of reasons is a section that sits after your letter. It looks like a jar full of folded notes. Each time your partner taps it, one note comes out with one reason you love them, and you can write up to 100. That's what makes it different from a list in a card: they can't skim it. They go one at a time, and each reason gets its own moment. Some people tap through all of them in one sitting. Others save a few for later, the way you'd ration good chocolate.

Reasons why I love you: examples to start with

Specific reasons beat flattering ones. A few to get you going: You hum when you're concentrating and don't know it. You remember my coworkers' names. You make the bed even when we're late. You laughed so hard at the wedding that the band noticed. You text me when you land, every time. You're kind to waiters. You still hold my hand in parking lots. You picked me. Write yours the same way, short and concrete, about things only someone close would notice, and mix in a handful of longer ones.

How many reasons should you write?

There's no right number. Ten good reasons beat fifty padded ones, so stop when you start repeating yourself. Some couples like a meaningful count: 25 for a 25th birthday, 52 for one each week of the year, or 100 to fill the jar for a big anniversary. If 100 feels daunting, publish with what you have and add more later, since you can edit the page anytime. Then build around the jar. A short letter introduces it, a few photos give faces to the memories, and the finale closes it.

Questions about a page for your reasons

Something else on your mind? Write to us.

How many reasons can I put in the jar?

Up to 100 notes, each holding one reason. You don't have to fill it: even ten good ones make a lovely jar, and you can keep adding more after the page is published.

Is this better than a printed list of reasons?

It's different. A printed list is easy to read at a glance, while the jar turns every reason into its own little reveal. You can do both: add the QR code to the bottom of your handwritten list.

What if I can't think of enough reasons?

Look through your photos and texts from the past year. Each one usually hides a reason: something they did, said or put up with. Write those down plainly and you'll have a full jar sooner than you think.

How much does it cost to share?

Making the jar and the rest of the page is free. Sharing it online costs $4.99 a month with Plus, which includes the jar as one of three sections. Cancel whenever you like, with nothing lost.

Can I add reasons after they've seen it?

Yes, and it's a sweet thing to do. Sign in with the code we email you, add a new note, then text them that there's a fresh reason waiting in the jar.
