Before you buy
One book for the life your family will read someday. Here's exactly what arrives.
After price, shoppers asked us the same three things this month: what comes in the box, which size, and will my own inserts fit. Here are the answers, with photos and real measurements.
Why people keep one
The comments under our videos that stay with me aren't about paper or price. They're about memory.
Received my first journal from my grandmother when I was 8 years old. Sixty-one years later I still journal daily.
A comment under one of our videos
Another buyer told us what finally made them order: "Need to get back to journaling, I have missed so much of my life by not documenting it."
That is what the Momento is for. One cover you keep, with pages you refill, so the years end up in one place instead of in five half-used notebooks. When an insert is full, you slide it out and put it on a shelf. Your family gets the shelf.
The three questions you asked most
When we asked shoppers on our site what was holding them back, price came first. Right behind it were three questions, and I'd rather answer them here with pictures than leave you guessing.
Question 1
What actually comes in the box?
Our videos show journals their owners have filled for months, with clips, planners and photos added along the way. Here is exactly what arrives at your door.

The two inserts are already under the elastic when you open it, and the clear zipper organizer sits beside them. Owners fill that one with photos, stamps, receipts and the cards they want to keep.
Question 2
Pocket or Classic?
These are the measured covers, not rounded sizes. Choose one and it comes to the front of the photo, and every price on this page follows it.
Most people choose the Classic. If it has to ride in your purse every day, choose the Pocket.
The Pocket slides into a tote or a purse with room to spare, and the way it fits in a bag is one of the things owners bring up most.
Question 3
Will my own inserts fit?
If you already have paper you love, check it here before you order. A5 and B6 are too big for either cover, and I'd rather tell you now than have you find out at the mailbox.
| Your paper | Classic | |
|---|---|---|
| A6105 x 148 mm | ✕ | ✓ |
| Hobonichi Weeks95 x 187 mm | ✕ | ✓ |
| Traveler's Notebook Passport89 x 124 mm | ✓ | ✓ |
| 4 x 5 in photo print102 x 127 mm | ✕ | ✓ |
| B6125 x 176 mm | ✕ | ✕ |
| Traveler's Notebook Regular110 x 210 mm | ✕ | ✕ |
| A5148 x 210 mm | ✕ | ✕ |
Pocket pages are 90 x 163 mm and Classic pages are 105 x 190 mm. A sheet fits when it is no wider and no taller than that.
In their words
Word for word, from owners who answered our October surveys.
“The size is a keeper. Most journals that included all of the 'guts' that yours does were too big.”
Momento owner, email survey, October 2026“it's way above in quality and something about it makes you gravitate to it.”
Momento owner, email survey, October 2026“I liked the refill method. No binder rings, good color options, classy and discounts.”
Buyer, post-purchase survey, October 2026“I love it more than I expected to”

Questions people ask
What comes in the box?
Your cover in the size and color you choose, two 76-page inserts (one lined, one blank) already under the elastic, a zipper organizer insert for cards, receipts and photos, a linen travel bag, and the charm you choose. The refills, planner inserts, clips and pens you see in some of our videos are sold separately.
Can I use other inserts?
Yes, if the sheet is no bigger than the cover's own pages: 90 x 163 mm in the Pocket, 105 x 190 mm in the Classic. A6 and Hobonichi Weeks fit the Classic. A5 and B6 are too big for either.
How many inserts can it hold?
The cover holds 5 to 6 inserts at once, so a journal, a planner and a sketchbook can live in one cover.
How do I replace the inserts?
Slide the full insert out from under the elastic and slide a new one in. Refills start at $12.
Pocket or Classic, which is for me?
Pocket (4.25 x 6.89 inches) if it goes in your purse every day. Classic (4.72 x 7.87 inches) if you like more room on the page.
What does the lifetime warranty cover?
Binding failure, cover failure, and hardware like the grommets. If something structural breaks, we replace it for free.
What if I don't love it?
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.
