I love writing, and always have a notebook handy to scribble my thoughts and ideas down. Keeping a journal is quite popular these days, and it’s nice to write in a beautiful notebook. Here are some great examples from the fabulous ranges out there.

1. Pinstripe notebook

£10 at love-eco.co.uk

This is the ideal notebook to satisfy my interest in being environmentally friendly. Even the plastic binding is recyclable! Both the paper and cover are made from recycled materials, so every part of this notebook is totally green. I love the striped brown and blue cover as well.

2. Dots and Jots mini journal set

£9.99 at papernation.co.uk

Not one, but four journals are in this set, so if you like to keep your writing separated by theme, this would be perfect for you. You could use each one for different subjects if you’re studying, or one for lists, one for thoughts, one for ….? The journals also come in a slip case to keep them tidy.

3. Cat Notebook

£8 at designsbyelle.co.uk

It’s no secret that I adore cats, and this cheeky little handmade notebook would be a perfect present for someone like me … hint hint! £8 is a great price for a handmade journal, and it’s just such a cute design.
