I seem to collect journals and notebooks. Not only are they super useful for jotting down ideas when I’m out and about, but there is something so lovely about a little bound book that I just want to touch and flick through them. And they make perfect stocking fillers this Christmas. You get get some really unique designs from UK artists, and the handfinishing and craftsmanship is always so good. Heres my wish list for my stocking this year!
