Handcrafted Natural Butterfly Leaf Mini Notebook*
One of nature's beauty handcrafted into a mini notebook. The Handcrafted Natural Butterfly Leaf Mini Notebook measures 4.5" H x 3.5"W, small enough to ride in a coat pocket, a clutch or the front sleeve of a carry-on, and it can be used to remember those delightful moments and more. The toast you do not want to forget. The name of the little street you found on your honeymoon. The three things that went right on an ordinary Tuesday.
This book is handcrafted on the island Bali. The paper is created from recycled bamboo fibers, which gives the pages a soft, faintly textured surface that pencil and ink both settle into rather than skate across. The covers are made from indigenous plants and trees from Indonesia. These materials may include leaves from the Butterfly leaf daun kupu kupu, the bark of the Frn tree (pakis lemputu), bean pods (lontoro), nutshells (panggi), papaya fibers, the veins of the palm leaf (lidi) or other native species. Local artisans then assemble them for export. Because every cover begins as something that grew, no two are identical: the veining, the grain and the depth of color shift from one notebook to the next, and the one you send will not exist twice.
Add up to 16 characters of personalization and the notebook stops being a pretty object and becomes unmistakably theirs. A first name. A wedding date. One word that only the two of you would understand. The personalizing is done in-house by HansonEllis, which has been personalizing gifts since 1999, so the lettering is placed on that natural cover with the same care the artisans gave the leaf.
Couples set one at each place setting for a garden or destination wedding, printed with their names and the date. Gardeners, travelers, teachers and journal keepers get one carrying their own. Tucked into a bridesmaid box, a graduation card or a hostess basket, the Butterfly Leaf Mini Notebook reads as chosen rather than bought.
Add your personalization text above, choose your quantity, and give a keepsake that grew before it was made.

Which one should I choose
Shoppers looking for a small, writable keepsake usually weigh the Handcrafted Natural Butterfly Leaf Mini Notebook against a plain stationery journal or a paper favor.
| Handcrafted Natural Butterfly Leaf Mini Notebook | Choose it when the gift should feel handmade and one of a kind: a 4.5" H x 3.5"W book with a natural Indonesian plant cover and up to 16 characters personalized in-house. |
|---|---|
| A plain printed journal | Choose it only when you need a large writing surface and do not care that every copy on the shelf looks the same. |
| A paper favor or printed card | Choose it when guests only need something to read; the notebook is the option they keep and write in for years. |
For a favor or gift that is both natural and useful, the Butterfly Leaf Mini Notebook wins on character: no two covers match, and the name on the front makes it theirs.

Questions shoppers ask about the Handcrafted Natural Butterfly Leaf Mini Notebook
How big is the Handcrafted Natural Butterfly Leaf Mini Notebook?
It measures 4.5" H x 3.5"W, so it fits in a coat pocket, a clutch or a carry-on sleeve. It is a mini notebook, not a full-size journal.
What is the notebook made of?
The paper is created from recycled bamboo fibers and the covers are made from indigenous plants and trees from Indonesia, which may include Butterfly leaf (daun kupu kupu), Frn tree bark (pakis lemputu), bean pods (lontoro), nutshells (panggi), papaya fibers or the veins of the palm leaf (lidi).
Where is it made?
The book is handcrafted on the island Bali from native Indonesian materials, and local artisans assemble the notebooks for export. HansonEllis then personalizes each one in-house.
Will my notebook look exactly like the photo?
Close, but not identical. The covers are natural plant and bark materials, so veining, grain and color vary from notebook to notebook, and that variation is the point of a handcrafted cover.
How many characters can I put on it?
Up to 16 characters on one line, spaces and punctuation included. A first name, a short couple's name or a date fits comfortably.
How is the Butterfly Leaf Mini Notebook personalized?
It is personalized in-house by HansonEllis. Type your text into the personalization field on this page and it is applied to the natural cover before the notebook ships.

Yes. Order the full quantity you need, then email your list of names to [email protected] after ordering so it can be matched to your order.
Can I put a company logo on it?
Logos are handled as a custom order. Email a vector file (.eps, .ai, .cdr, .pdf or .svg) or a high-resolution image to [email protected]; a logo setup fee applies and not every logo can be reproduced on a natural cover.
Can I see a proof before it is personalized?
Yes. Proofs are optional and available on request for a $35-55 service fee per proof, and a proof adds extra days to production. Changes after a proof has been sent carry a $40 minimum updating fee, so check your spelling before ordering. Ask in the order notes or call Customer Support at 310-878-9429.
Is there a minimum order?
No. Order one notebook or a hundred and fifty. For bulk pricing, please contact [email protected].
How long does it take to arrive?
Standard production is 5 to 10 business days, plus 2 to 5 days shipping in the US. Rush (3 to 5 days) and expedite (1 to 3 days) production are available at checkout, and for a wedding it is best to order 3 to 6 months ahead.
