Love notes for every day

A note works because it is small and unasked for. Twelve words on a scrap of paper on a Tuesday does more than a paragraph on a birthday.

Steal these as they are, or use them as a shape and swap in your own detail.

Lunchbox and bag notes

• Have a good one. Home by six. Kettle's yours.
• Whatever today does, it ends with us on the sofa.
• You are the best part of my routine.

Pillow and mirror notes

• Left early. Didn't want to wake you. Loved you all the same.
• Look at you. Go on then.
• Still glad it's you.

Funny ones

• This note is worth more than the washing up I did not do.
• Roses are red, the bins are out, that is love.
• Emergency note. Use in case of bad meeting.

For a hard week

• You do not have to be alright today. I am here either way.
• One thing at a time. I have got the rest.
• This week is temporary. I am not.

How to write it so it lands

• Handwrite it, even badly. Typed notes lose the point.
• Do not sign every one - the handwriting already says who it is from.
• Leave one when nothing is happening. That is when it counts.

Frequently asked questions

How long should a love note be?

One or two lines. The point is that it was quick to write and impossible to ignore.

Where do you leave love notes?

Somewhere they will find it alone: a bag, a coat pocket, the steering wheel, the fridge before an early start.

Do love notes work by text?

They do, but paper lasts. A text is read once, a note ends up in a drawer for years.
