Natural Cork Leatherette Journal Lined Paper with Bookmark Elastic Closure

The eco-friendly Natural Cork Leatherette Journal has a soft natural cork cover with a black leatherette accent strip, 90 sheets of cream-colored lined paper, a bookmark ribbon and an elastic closure. Cork is warm in the hand in a way coated card never is, faintly textured, quiet when you set it down on a desk, and it takes a few years of being carried around without ever looking damaged. It looks used, which is a different thing entirely.
Inside, the 90 sheets of cream-colored lined paper are easier on the eye than bright white under a lamp, so long stretches of writing do not glare back at you. The bookmark ribbon keeps your place between sittings. The elastic closure holds the whole journal shut inside a bag, so the corners stay square and nothing dog-ears in transit. At 5.4"W x 8.4"H x 0.6" D this is a junior journal, big enough for real paragraphs and small enough to live in a tote or a carry-on.
Then there is the cover. Up to 16 characters on each of two lines are personalized in-house by HansonEllis, which is room for a first and last name, or a name and a year, or a short line that only the two of you will fully understand. That is the whole difference between handing someone a notebook and handing someone their notebook, and it is why a blank book with a name on it gets kept when a generic one gets put in a drawer.
It is also why this journal keeps turning up in bridal parties. Ask each bridesmaid with her own name on the cover. Give the maid of honor hers with the wedding date underneath. Beyond the wedding, the same cork journal goes to groomsmen, graduates, a team at the end of a long project, a friend starting a business, a daughter heading off for a first year abroad. A blank book belongs entirely to the person who receives it, and a name on the front says you meant that person specifically.
Add your two lines above, choose your quantity, and send someone off with a journal that already has their name on it.

Which one should I choose
The choice with a bridal party gift is usually between something decorative that gets admired once and something plain that actually gets carried.
| Natural Cork Leatherette Journal | Choose it when you want an eco-friendly personalized gift with 90 lined pages that keeps getting used long after the wedding. |
|---|---|
| A plain unbranded notebook | Choose it when the gift is a stationery item rather than a keepsake and no name needs to appear on it. |
| A leather-look journal with no personalization | Choose it when you need a uniform set for a team or conference and individual names are not wanted. |
For bridesmaids, graduates and milestone gifts, the cork journal wins because a name on the cover turns a notebook into that person's notebook.
