Business Line & Grid Personal Travel Journal*
The Business Line & Grid Personal Travel Journal is built for the way people actually think on the move. Inside are 96 white pages, lined and squared, so a meeting summary and a floor plan, a packing list and a quick diagram, a day's notes and a budget grid all live in the same book. Nobody has to carry two notebooks or apologise for drawing in the margin.
At 7 inches tall, 4 inches wide and three-quarters of an inch thick, it is sized for a jacket pocket, a handbag or the front sleeve of a carry-on. A flap closure keeps the pages shut so nothing dog-ears in transit, and the white stitching runs clean along the spine as a small, deliberate detail. A pen holder keeps the pen with the book, which is the difference between a thought captured and a thought lost, and a bookmark opens it straight to today. When the last page is filled, the refill book block means the cover carries on with a fresh set of pages rather than going in a drawer.
Personalized in-house by HansonEllis, the cover can carry up to three lines of 18 characters. That is enough for a full name, a title, a company, a date, or a short line that means something to the person opening it. A journal with a name on it stops being a supply and starts being a possession, and possessions get carried, used and kept.
That is why this journal works so well as a gift for a graduate starting a first job, a colleague who fills notebooks faster than anyone else, a father who still writes things down, or a traveller heading somewhere worth recording. It arrives ready to be written in on day one, and it keeps getting opened long after the occasion that prompted it.
Type your personalization above, choose your quantity, and give someone a book worth filling.

Ideas for what to put on the cover

- A name on the first line and a role or title on the second, for a work journal.
- A company or team name with the year underneath, for a corporate order.
- A destination and the dates of the trip, so the journal is labelled before the first page is written.
- A short line of encouragement above the owner's name, for a graduate or a new starter.

Which one should I choose
The choice usually comes down to how the person takes notes and whether the book is meant to be a gift or a supply.
| Business Line & Grid Personal Travel Journal | Choose it when one book has to do both jobs, lined pages for words and squared pages for diagrams, in a size that fits a pocket and carries a name. |
|---|---|
| A plain lined notebook | Choose it when the writing is all words and the book is a supply rather than a gift, with nothing on the cover to make it anyone's in particular. |
| A full-size desk journal | Choose it when the notebook lives on a desk and is never carried, so size and a flap closure do not matter. |
For a gift that travels, the Business Line & Grid Personal Travel Journal is the stronger pick, because the pen holder, flap closure and refillable block keep it in use long after a plain notebook would be finished.
