Polished Rosewood Journal*
Use this handy wooden journal to write down your daily activities, the notes from the meeting that mattered and the list that gets crossed off by Friday. It is made with a rosewood color finish, warm and polished rather than office-issue, and at 7.4" x 9.25" x 1.25" it has the weight of a book instead of a pad, so it sits on a desk as an object and travels in a bag without folding at the corners.
Lift the metallic latch and the silk lining shows itself first, the detail that separates a keepsake from a notebook, and it makes referencing easy when you flip back to something written a month ago. The inner pages are delineated, which makes writing much more comfortable and the page much easier to read back, whether the hand holding the pen is neat or in a hurry.
What turns a good notebook into a gift is the cover. Personalize and create that personal touch by engraving a name or short message on the book cover: up to three lines of eighteen characters, engraved in-house by HansonEllis, who have been personalizing gifts since 1999. "James R. Whitaker". "Ideas Live Here". "Class of 2027". With this you can convert the Executive Wood Journal into an event favor or a piece of memorabilia that guests still have years later, and business owners can take advantage of the same feature to carry corporate branding onto a desk accessory people actually open every morning. Company logos may be personalized as well.
It suits the moments when a job well done deserves something more considered than a card: a promotion, a work anniversary, a retirement, a graduation, a client thank-you or the place settings at a conference dinner. Whether you intend on using it as a gift to appreciate a job well done in the office or to thank the guests attending your event, you will find use for the executive wood journal on several occasions.
Add your engraving text above, choose your quantity, and hand someone a journal with their own name on the cover.

Which one should I choose
The choice here is usually between a gift that is written in, a gift that is written with, and a notebook that belongs to nobody in particular.
| Executive Wood Journal | Choose it when the gift should live on a desk and be opened daily: a rosewood-finish wood cover, a metallic latch, a silk lining and a name engraved across up to three lines. |
|---|---|
| A plain leather or paper notebook | Choose that when it is stationery rather than a gift; there is nothing on the cover to say whose it is when three of them are on a conference table. |
| An engraved pen or desk accessory | Choose that when the recipient keeps their notes on a screen and wants one small engraved object on the desk instead of a book. |
For a gift that carries a name and still earns its place on a desk, the engraved Executive Wood Journal is the one that gets used.
