Story No. 9

The struggles of saying “I love you” inspired the founder to create her own personalized love books. Story No. 9 is a Danish online gift shop founded by Nhi Do in November 2017. But its story goes way back. Growing up, she has never felt comfortable saying these three words: “I love you”. Her first heartbreak made her found comfort in art and contributed to the creation of the matchbox characters, Nidos & Co. When love came around again, she was determined to express her feelings. Although expressing herself verbally was difficult, she would find a way to say it with a unique gift that would emphasize the meaning of love. When it all came together, she got the idea of creating her own handmade love book – a personalized book that illustrated 9 caring actions instead of saying “I love you”. With Nhi’s vision, she wanted to transform art, personalization, and actions into love books. Love books that would help others who are looking for a creative way of saying “I love you”. This is a meaningful, easy, affordable and personalized way of gift-giving. Others who really loved this idea of gifting someone they love, are Nataly Tsiapalo, Ming Luke and Hamza Aytac Dalgalidere. For years, they were working together across the world to create love tickets. They had one common mission: to spread love and endless surprises! In the end, the struggles of saying “I love you” got Story No. 9 here. Somewhere in between, it helped the founder to realize that “I love you’s” should flow naturally without holding back. True love is worth the wait and everyone deserves to be happy! The rest is…. Story No.
