Love notes - love game by Hearst - review by PropertyOfPotter

Love Notes is a hard cover coupon book from Redbook that's made up of 100 high quality tear out pages that are intended to spark a little something between you and your partner. Though this is described as a game, there really are no rules or structure. It's a "game" where everyone wins! These pages could be used daily, weekly, or monthly; whenever the mood hits you! Have fun giving or hiding these coupons wherever your partner might find them! The only goal is to get you and your partner closer together and sharing in something different or sweet.

This book would be great for couples that are looking for a silly/romantic/loving way to reconnect and add a little something extra into their love lives. Most of the pages seem geared more toward people who are in a long-term relationship and are living/staying together. My husband and I have been married for almost 2 years now and this was the perfect product for us to share.

Although this isn't an actual game, it's not hard to get creative in surprising your partner with a sweet or sensual coupon. Leave one in the car, in their sock drawer, in with their lunch; anywhere they find it will be sure to bring a smile to their face! While each coupon might not bring about 'really great sex', it will help keep the romance and spark going strong! There's a page in the front that describes the purpose of this book:

The cover of this coupon book has a truly unique design making it hold up well over time as the pages get removed. The side of the coupons are not bound to the cover on the front, but are attached to the back cover (see images below).



There are 100 sturdy pages of full-color, drawn images on the front, and smaller complimenting images and words on the back of each page. They aren't realistic, but have a cartoonish feel to them.

While others have said that this book is geared more toward females, I feel like they did an excellent job of gearing it towards men as well. They made some pages to fit women more, and others to fit men more, but there are also many that are unisex.

These coupons could be made to fit someone in a same gender relationship with a little creativity, but it's obviously geared toward people in a heterosexual relationship.

I've had a fun time picking out which notes to leave my husband and have also enjoyed seeing the ones that he's chosen for me. It's been a wonderful way for us to get back into the playful, sweet side of us that time, work, and kids have pushed to the back burner. It doesn't always lead to great sex, but it always leads us to showing each other the love we share.
