This mini notebook with the fun title can be gold stamped on the cover with a name or initials. The pocket notebooks come in other fun titles that you can select to match the specific receiver; i.e. ‘Bright Ideas’, ‘I’ve Got Nothing To Wear’, ‘Make It Happen’ and ‘Scribbles and Sketches’.
'Genius' Notebook, From $52
Featuring Smythson watermarked pale blue Featherweight paper. The notebook contains 192 leaves of feint ruled lines. Apparently this Featherweight paper is half the thickness and weight of normal paper so you can hold a lot in a slim book. Smythson says that Featherweight paper is tested to ensure that it is strong and opaque enough to be used with fountain pens without bleed.
