The Lovepop Journal

2019 is nearly here! When it comes time to make your New Year's resolution — whether you want to wake up earlier, spend less time staring at your screens, or run a marathon — we have one simple (but very effective) commitment to consider. Lovepop wants you to make The Write Resolution."What's The Write Resolution?" you may ask. Great question. The Write Resolution is a decision to make writing a habit in 2019. Once a month, in place of a text or an email, send someone a handwritten card. Something as simple as receiving a personal note can brighten someone's day and immediately put a smile on his/her face. How...

Last month, we introduced you to Antonio of To the Moon Marketplace in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. You can always shop Lovepop 24/7 at lovepop.com, but hundreds of awesome shops and businesses — like, To the Moon Marketplace and Mangel Florist and Gifts — carry our cards around the world. This month, we spoke with Sharlet T. of Terra Firma, a 21-year-old specialty boutique in Belmont, Massachusetts. This awesome store stocks thoughtful and unique gifts and jewelry that are the perfect creative, artistic companions to the many Lovepop cards they carry. Tell us about your store.

Our second DIY project was inspired by one of you! This idea...

We've come up with two awesome Lovepop DIYs that are guaranteed to add more cheer to your holidays this year!

We know the holidays keep us busy, but we want to ask: how are you thinking about your gifting this year? Who is on your naughty and nice lists? How much are you budgeting for each gift? Who has you stumped without a wish list? And just how often are we giving back during the season of giving? We polled 850 holiday shoppers* about their seasonal spending habits and plans, and the results might surprise you. While friends and family predictably topped "to-gift" lists, charitable causes and helping those without holiday homes were standout priorities this year. Want to know...
