What stays
Give them twelve weeks.
They’ll remember more of what mattered.
For twelve weeks, the journey gives them a reason to pause and pay attention to the moment they’re in.
To notice what’s happening, enjoy what’s worth enjoying, and hold on to the things they’ll want to remember.
The journey gives them a reason to pause and pay attention to what’s happening while they’re still in it. Music is part of the experience, too.
And if they want to put something into words, the Notebook is there for them. A place to keep the thoughts and memories they don’t want to lose.

Something for them to keep
During the twelve weeks, they’ll have a beautifully designed Notebook to print at home. They can write in it whenever they want to, or simply leave it for later.
In the final week, they’ll also receive a Memory Keeper, bringing some of their memories from the journey together in one place.
Both are theirs to keep.

A look inside
This is what twelve weeks feels like.
Here’s one of the thirty-six emails, arriving on a Monday morning in Week Six, when everyone else may already have moved on.
And sometimes, reading isn’t quite the same as hearing a human voice. Here’s an impression of the voice notes that come with the journey — a short excerpt from one of them.
Laughter belongs here too
Dear Sarah,
Laughter belongs here too.
The way they snored with full conviction. The unrepeatable noise when food appeared. The serious dignity they brought to napping.
I know laughing can feel wrong. If there was a decision, it can feel like lightness argues with how serious that choice was. If it was sudden, it can feel like betrayal — how can you smile when they didn’t get to finish their life?
It’s neither. Delight was part of what you were protecting all along.
Warmly, Martine
In their words
What early readers said
-
“My dog Bailey was with me for fourteen years. I received this from a friend and thought it might be a bit much. But there was an email about the ridiculous things our pets do, and I ended up laughing at memories I hadn’t thought about in ages. I loved that.”
Karen · Tampa, Florida
Recipient · Pet Loss
-
“I wasn’t sure what to expect when my sister sent this. Some emails made me laugh, which was the last thing I expected. Others didn’t really speak to me, and that was fine. I liked that I could just read them and get on with my day. The voice messages were my favorite part.”
Danielle · Texas
Recipient · Held
-
“I lost my cat almost a year before I started this. I wondered if I’d left it too late. Turns out I hadn’t. I wrote down stories about her that I don’t think I’d ever told anyone. The notebook is in my desk now. I’m really happy I have it.”
Emily · Austin, Texas
Recipient · Pet Loss
-
“I sent Held to a close friend after some difficult news. I live in another state and didn’t want to keep asking how he was doing. He mentioned one of the emails about a month later, which surprised me. It was good to know the gift was still arriving long after I’d sent it.”
Michael · Denver, Colorado
Gift giver · Held
-
“I had been looking for a long time for an original and heartfelt gift for someone who had lost her dog. A dog is not just a pet, but truly a beloved member of the family. This special gift was so warmly received and brought her comfort during a very difficult time. I’m incredibly grateful that I was able to give this to her. Thank you for creating such a beautiful product!”
Vanessa · Breda, The Netherlands

“By the time I started Held, everyone already knew about my diagnosis. I was tired of talking about it. What I appreciated was that these emails weren’t always about being sick. Sometimes they were about completely ordinary things. I still have a few pages from the notebook.”
Rachel · Portland, Oregon
Recipient · Held
-
“I didn’t listen to the playlist much, just not my kind of music. But I did read every email. Some were better than others, naturally. What stayed with me was being asked about who my dog actually was, all his funny little habits, not only how sad I was that he’d gone.”
Patricia · Madison, Wisconsin
Recipient · Pet Loss
-
“I enjoyed most of it. A few of the questions in the notebook weren’t really for me, and I probably only filled out half the pages. But I looked forward to the Saturday emails. They felt a little different from the others. I’m glad I did it.”
Susan · Amsterdam, The Netherlands

Hi, I’m Martine.
I write every journey myself — every email, every prompt and every voice message. The playlists are chosen song by song, and every part of a journey is created long before it reaches someone’s inbox.
I made a365gift because some moments ask to be carried through, while others deserve to be held onto. I wanted to create something that gives both a little more time and attention.
Martine
Before you decide
Questions people ask
What exactly am I giving them?
A twelve-week journey created around a particular moment in their life. They’ll receive three emails a week, with writing prompts, voice messages, a playlist and printable pages to keep. You’ll also receive a gift certificate, ready to print and give or send.
Can I choose when their journey starts?
Yes. Every journey begins on a Monday, and you choose which one: the first one available or months from now. So you can give it now and choose when you want the journey to begin.
Isn’t twelve weeks a lot? I don’t want to intrude.
It’s three short emails a week, each taking only a minute or two to read. There’s nothing they have to keep up with. That’s what makes the twelve weeks different from a gift that arrives once. It’s a small reminder, again and again, that someone thought of them.
Do they have to write or respond?
Not at all. There’s nothing to reply to. They can read, listen, write when they feel like it, or skip anything they don’t. There’s no pressure to keep up or do it a certain way.
What if it isn’t the right fit?
Just let us know within 30 days and we’ll refund you in full. No forms, no explanation needed.
How do I know which journey is right for me?
Each journey is created for a particular moment in life, and its page will tell you clearly who it’s for. If you’re still not sure, write to hello@a365gift.com and I’ll happily help you choose.
What will I receive during the twelve weeks?
You’ll receive three emails a week for twelve weeks, with writing prompts, voice messages and a carefully chosen playlist. You’ll also have printable pages for the things you want to put into words and keep.
Do I have to write or do something with every email?
Not at all. You can read, listen, write when you feel like it, and skip anything you don’t. There’s no pressure to keep up or do it a certain way.
Can I choose when I want to start?
Yes. Every journey begins on a Monday, and you choose which one: the first one available or months from now. Start whenever you want.
What will I have at the end of the twelve weeks?
Something that’s yours to keep. Your Notebook holds whatever you chose to write, and in the final week, the Memory Keeper brings part of your twelve weeks together in your own handwriting. It becomes a personal record of this time in your life, something you can return to long after the journey ends.

This one unfolds for twelve weeks.
And when the twelve weeks are over, what they’ve written stays with them — their stories, their moments, in their own words.
