About the Movement
The heart of what we do (pun absolutely intended).
What is the Pocket Love Movement?
Pocket Love Movement is a global kindness movement built on simple acts of love and connection.
We’re here to make it ridiculously easy to show up for people — whether that’s through a small token, a cozy blanket, or a message that lands exactly when someone needs it most.
At our core, we believe one tiny act of kindness can create a massive ripple effect. And the best part? You actually get to see that ripple grow.
What makes Pocket Love different from a typical gift?
Most gifts have a finish line.
Ours don’t. 😉
Pocket Love gifts are designed to keep going:
- Tokens & Pocket Hugs → passed from person to person (forever, ideally)
- Wrapped in Love blankets → stay put, but gather messages, memories, and love from all over
- Apparel (coming this summer) → perpetuate positivity by personalizing your own QR experience. Hats, hoodies, and shirts so you can make a statement with your unique QR.
We basically took a heartfelt gift… and gave it a second life (and a third… and a tenth…).
Wait… what’s this “ripple effect” you keep talking about?
Ahhh yes — the magic. ✨
Every Pocket Love item connects to a digital thread where people can:
- Leave a message
- Share photos
- (Optionally) drop their location
When people add their location, you can actually see where the love has traveled on a map. So that one small moment when you gave someone a token? Yeah… it might end up in another city… another state… another country.
What does the Pocket Love logo represent?
It’s basically a hug… disguised as a logo. 💞
The outer heart wraps around the inner heart (hi, emotional support 🥹), while also forming a subtle “P” for Pocket Love.
It’s all about connection, warmth, and that outward ripple of love we’re always talking about.
Tokens & Pocket Hugs
Little wooden hugs that refuse to sit still.
What is a Pocket Hug?
It’s exactly what it sounds like — a hug you can carry around.
A small wooden token that says: “I’ve got you… even when I’m not there.”
People keep them in pockets, wallets, bags… basically anywhere life happens.
What makes Pocket Love tokens unique?
They don’t sit still.
Tokens and pocket hugs are meant to travel — from you → to someone else → to someone else → and so on.
Here’s the flow:
- Receive it 💛
- Feel the love
- Add your message to the thread
- Pass it on when the moment feels right
Before you know it, one tiny token has touched dozens (or hundreds!) of lives. And letting go of these feels soooooo good. In a world where feelings are contagious — let those vibes be positive.
How long should I keep a token or pocket hug?
Short answer: however long you want.
Long answer: until you meet someone who needs it more than you do.
Some people pass them along same-day. Others hold onto them for months.
We personally encourage a good ol’ “let it ripple” challenge — start one in a room at a party and see how many people post by the end of the day. There are no rules here, just good instincts.
Can I see where my token has traveled?
Yes — and it’s kind of addictive. 😄
When you create an account, you can:
- Follow threads you’ve contributed to
- See new messages as they come in
- Watch the ripple grow over time
If people choose to share their location, you’ll also see where the token has been on the map. Spoiler alert: it gets emotional. Spontaneous happy dancing is encouraged.
What kinds of tokens are available?
It all started with our OG Pocket Hugs… and then things got fun. Now we’ve got tokens for:
- Love
- Hope
- Strength
- Gratitude
- Support
- Tranquility
- Celebration
- Humor (because… necessary 😅)
We’re always dreaming up new ones — and we LOVE your ideas.

Wrapped in Love Blanket Journals
A “you are deeply loved” delivery system.
What is a Wrapped in Love blanket?
This is not just a blanket. This is a “you are deeply loved” delivery system.
Our ultra-cozy minky blankets are designed to stay with the recipient — becoming something they can physically wrap themselves in whenever they need comfort.
What is the Blanket Journal?
This is where the magic multiplies. ✨
Each blanket connects to a digital journal where people can:
- Leave messages
- Share photos
- Send encouragement from anywhere
Think of it as a living love archive. One blanket → hundreds of moments of support.
I received a Wrapped in Love blanket… now what?!
First of all — congrats, you are VERY loved. 💛 Here’s what to do:
- Find the QR tag on your blanket
- Scan it
- Create your account (Google or Apple — easy peasy)
- Tap “Register My Item”
- Boom — your journal is live
From there, you can customize your journal, edit the name, image, and description, moderate posts, and control privacy settings. Basically… you’re the boss of your love hub.
I’m gifting a blanket — can I preload messages before they get it?
YES. (We were really hoping you’d ask this. 😄) This is our favorite little secret: the love bomb.
Once your order is packed, you’ll get a link to the journal. You can:
- Share it with friends/family
- Start loading it up with love
- Surprise your person with a full journal on day one 🥹
Want to get fancy (custom name, image, etc.)? Email us: 👉 order@pocketlovemovement.app
When are Blanket Journals most meaningful?
Honestly? Always. But especially when someone needs a little (or a lot of) extra love:
- Illness or recovery
- Loss or grief
- Big life changes (moves, breakups, menopause — we see you 👏)
- Celebrations (babies, weddings, birthdays, new homes)
- Mental health support
- Long-distance relationships
- SELF LOVE (don’t skip this one 💁♀️)
How do people add messages to the journal?
Two easy ways:
- Scan the QR (in person)
- Use the shareable link (anywhere in the world)
Send the link via text, social, email… or carrier pigeon (kidding… but also not judging).
Can the journal be private?
Absolutely. As the registered owner, you can:
- Keep it private
- Share with select people
- Make it public
- Moderate posts (block/delete/report)
If a private journal is scanned by someone who isn’t approved, they’ll see a friendly note letting them know it’s private and to request the share link from you. You’re in control of your space — always.
Can people from around the world contribute?
YES — and they do.
This is one of the most magical parts. You’ll often see messages come in from unexpected places… and realize just how many people are quietly rooting for you.
Gifting & Occasions
For the people you love (and the strangers you’re about to make smile).
What occasions are Pocket Love gifts perfect for?
Short answer: all of them. Long answer:
- Tough days
- Big wins
- “Thinking of you” moments
- Milestones (weddings, birthdays, graduation, new baby, new home)
- Gratitude
- “I think I might have a crush on you”s
- Supporting someone through grief, illness, divorce, or recovery
- Just because
A lot of people also keep tokens on hand for spontaneous kindness drops… which we fully support. 💅

Product & Care
Keep your blanket cuddle-ready and your QR scan-ready.
What materials are used in the blankets?
Most blankets are made with ultra-soft polyester minky (aka: peak coziness).
Some include a bit of stretch for that extra “never want to leave this blanket” feel. QR tags are laser engraved on high-quality faux suede.
How do I care for my blanket?
Use it often. Like… very often.
Just be mindful not to aggressively rub the QR tag so it stays scannable. And don’t forget to keep the journal love tank full. 💛
Are the blankets machine washable?
Yes!
- Cold water only
- No bleach
- Air dry or tumble dry (NO heat)
Treat it with love, it’ll love you back.

Do I need to download an app?
Nope! We’re fully web-based — just scan and go.
How do I set up an account?
We made this part very easy (because… who needs another password? 😅). You can log in using:
- Apple
Just pick your favorite, accept the Terms & Conditions, and you’re in!
👉 Your profile will show the icon/photo tied to your selected account
👉 Your login provider does not share personal info directly with us
Quick. Painless. No password drama.
What are the benefits of creating an account?
This is where things get fun:
- Track your ripple effect
- See all your posts in one place
- Get notified when threads update
- Edit your posts
- Register and customize your blanket journals
Highly recommend. 😉
How do I access the digital thread or journal?
Think of it like this: scan it, share it, or find it later.
🔍 Scan the QR — every Pocket Love item has a QR; scan it and you’re instantly in the journal.
🔗 Use a shared link (blankets only) — Wrapped in Love blanket journals can be opened via a shareable link (perfect for loading it up with love from afar 💛).
📝 Find it through your posts — already left a message? Head to your Posts page and tap any post to jump back into that thread.
📦 Find your items — if you’ve registered a blanket, you’ll see it on your My Items page.
Why can’t I “register” a token or pocket hug?
Great question — and very intentional. 😉
Tokens and pocket hugs are what we call “floating items.” They’re designed to move freely, be passed along, and travel from person to person (forever, ideally). Because of that, they aren’t tied to one account.
Instead, you stay connected by posting in the thread, following the journey, and watching the ripple grow. So while you don’t own the token… you are part of its story. 💫
What are the icons that appear when I create a post?
- Picture icon — add an image from your phone or snap one in real time. Up to 5 images per post.
- Map icon — tag your general location (city, state) so you can share the token’s journey with others.
- Incognito icon — privacy matters. Enabling this tags your post as “anonymous” so your account name isn’t displayed.
I posted in a journal, but I don’t see it on my Posts page.
A few things to check:
- Same account? Let’s face it — we all have a collection of email accounts these days. Make sure you haven’t accidentally set up more than one, and that you’re using the same account you originally posted from.
- Were you logged in when you posted? We offer to keep you logged in between visits, but if you posted while logged out (or as a guest), the post may not be stored to your account.
- Did you have an account yet? If you posted as a guest before creating an account, we may not have been able to link that post to you retroactively.
What’s the difference between posting as a guest vs. incognito mode?
Posting as a guest lets you contribute to a thread without setting up an account. (We’ll give you a handful of chances to do this so you can see what this movement is all about!)
Incognito mode is for registered users who want to post anonymously at any time, so their account name isn’t displayed in a thread.
I love some of the photos people posted! Can I save them?
Yes — and we love that you love them. 🥹
If you’re part of a thread, you can download photos to keep and share them with others. Because let’s be honest… some of these moments are way too good not to save. 💛
Where can I send feature requests?
We love hearing ideas from our pocket love ambassadors! Send your feature requests to info@pocketlovemovement.app.
Privacy
Your love. Your data. Your call.
Is my location automatically shared?
Never. Your location is only added if you choose to tap the map icon, and only your general location (city/state) is used.
No precise tracking. No weird stuff. Just enough to watch the ripple grow. 🌍
Can I post anonymously?
Yes! We totally get that sometimes you want to drop a little encouragement without dropping personal info. Using incognito mode lets you post without sharing your username.
Who can see all of my messages/posts?
Only YOU can see a complete list of all your posts in one place.
When you contribute to a thread, only people who have access to that thread (via link or QR) can see your post. And you can always use incognito mode if you’d like to stay anonymous.
Can I edit or delete a post?
Yes — as long as you were logged into your account when you created the post, you can return to it any time to edit or delete it. All posts live on your personal Posts page.
Still have a question?
We’re real humans who genuinely love hearing from you. Reach out anytime — for orders and special requests, order@pocketlovemovement.app; for everything else, info@pocketlovemovement.app.
