A new relationship: don't overdo it
In the first months, the fear of overdoing it is real: a gift that's too expensive makes people uneasy, one that's too impersonal sounds hollow. The right measure is a gift that shows attention without committing: something personal, without an outsized price.
The digital book, at €39, fits that measure. It tells what you lived together, with no promise you couldn't keep. It reads in ten minutes, and it keeps.
What to tell after three months
Few memories, but already scenes: and that's a strength, because everything is recent and you remember it in detail.
- ✦ How you met: where, who spoke first, what you noticed.
- ✦ The first message: what you wrote, the wait for the answer.
- ✦ The first date: what nearly ruined it, what saved the evening.
- ✦ The first weekend: even a walk, even a coffee that lasted four hours.
- ✦ What you imagine: a trip, an evening, a project. The last page can look ahead.

A light style for a story that's starting
For a new relationship, a lighter style suits: manga, lively and expressive, or watercolor, all softness. To compare all six, see our page which illustration style to choose. The free preview shows your duo drawn before you order.
The budget: from €39 to €129
- ✦ Digital: €39.
- ✦ Signature: €59, a 30-page printed book.
- ✦ Prestige: €129, a 40-page printed book.
For a first Valentine's Day, the €39 digital book is enough. If you'd rather give an object, the €59 printed Signature book makes it possible, without going to the Prestige. Nothing is printed without your approval, and you review for 48 hours.

And if the other person isn't expecting it?
A book about the two of you, after three months, can be a surprise. To make it go well, keep a light tone and add humor, at least in the dedication: "Three months, already a book. Tell me if it's too much." See our book dedication ideas and our Valentine's Day messages.
