"How do you put the charms on the band?" is one of the questions we get most under our ads. Here's the answer, and why your first charm is free.
Someone asked it under one of our ads, and they weren't the only one. Another owner wrote that she was so excited to start using hers but couldn't figure out how to attach her butterfly charm.
Fair question. It's small, and it's the first thing you'll want to do when the box opens.
Each charm comes with a tiny metal ring. Open it, loop it through the charm and around the elastic on the cover, and close it again. The charm hangs right on the band.
A pair of tweezers helps with the small ring. If you don't spot it right away, check the linen bag and the zipper pouch.
Right now every Momento comes with a free charm. Pick it when you order and it arrives with the journal.
A butterfly, a flower, a star. Start with one and add more as the year fills in.
A charm for the trip, the new grandbaby, the year you finally planted the garden.
Over time the cover tells its own story, and nobody else's journal looks like yours.
The elastic holds more than charms. Slide a pen under it, a postcard, a tag from a gift, a card you want to keep close.
It's the outside of the book, and it can look like you.
Lined pages, blank pages, a sticker sheet, a photo or a ticket stub in the zipper organizer. Put the inserts in whatever order suits how you write.
There are no printed dates either, so the pages go in the order your life does.
The Pocket is 4.25 x 6.89 inches and the Classic is 4.72 x 7.87 inches. Both have the same elastic on the cover, ready for a charm.
Refills start at $12, about 76 pages each, so the cover and its charms stay with you while the pages change. Right now the Momento is 50% off and comes with a free charm, with easy 100-day returns.
The complete starter kit. Your leather cover in the size and color you pick, two 76-page Daolin inserts (one lined, one blank), an organizer insert for cards, stamps, photos, or loose notes, and a linen travel bag. Restock Event adds a complimentary charm. Everything you need to start writing on day one.
A Moleskine is a notebook. You fill it, finish it, buy another. A Midori is a traveler's notebook system designed around buying inserts separately. Momento is the refillable cover plus a complete starter kit in one box, with US shipping and a lifetime warranty. Same cover, new pages, forever.
Pocket if you carry it daily and write in shorter sessions. Back pocket, jacket, small purse. Classic if you sit down to write. Letters, longer entries, sketching, planning. Pocket fits anywhere. Classic gives you room to breathe.
Pocket fits a back pocket, small purse, or jacket pocket. Classic is a bit larger than the size of a paperback and lives in a tote or purse.
Each insert has 76 pages of smooth, high-quality Daolin paper. It is fountain-pen friendly with minimal bleed-through and feathering, so it handles everything from a pencil or gel pen to a wet fountain nib beautifully.
Slide the used insert out, slide a new one in. Refills start at $12, about 76 pages each. Most customers set them on a 3-month cadence and stop thinking about it. Skip, pause, change cadence, or cancel from your account anytime. No phone calls, no retention scripts.
Binding failure, cover failure, and hardware like the grommets. If something structural breaks, we replace it for free immediately, no shipping fee.
Yes. Every Momento ships in a gift-ready linen bag, so you can hand it over as-is. It's our most-gifted product. If you're unsure on color, Bordeaux and Mocha are safe picks for someone whose taste you don't know well.
Try Momento for 100 days. If you don't fall in love, easy 100-day returns. Just email help@stillarchive.com and we'll take care of it.
