CHRISTMAS GIFTS TO ENCOURAGE AND INSPIRE YOUR FAVOURITE PEOPLE

The countdown is on! Less than a month to go until Christmas, so if you are struggling for ideas or have someone who is always tricky to buy for here are my top picks. 💗

For the adventurer 

For the one who is always on an epic trip or adventure how about a personalised travel journal. Spiral bound and hardwearing so can handle life being carted around in a rucksack. Here's mine, out and about in Paris! 

 

For the chef 

If you know any aspiring chefs, a personalised blank recipe book makes a great gift. There is plenty of space for all the recipes with 140 lined pages too. As with all the personalised notebooks and journals, each can be personalised with a choice of artwork cover, foil and by adding your own name. 

 

For the one who is always GO GO GO 

Give the gift of calm to anyone you know who is always run off their feet. The take a minute journal is designed to encourage and help busy people to take a few minutes out of each day to reflect. The positive message on the cover is a constant reminder that it really does only take a minute. For advice on getting started with journalling, take a look at this article. 

 

For the one with big dreams 

This 'dream big' personalised typography print is the perfect addition to any dreamer's gallery wall. Give them an everyday reminder to keep on dreaming big! Available in three colours, pink, blue and purple. 

 

For anyone who needs a little encouragement 

If you have a friend who doesn't know how brilliant they are, then remind them with a message of encouragement! There are some lovely prints to help you do just that - or if you have a specific message in mind then take a look at the 'Any text you like' notebook option too! 

 

The 'Fearless, brave and bold' print

For the entrepreneur 

If there is one thing that all entrepreneurs have in common it's that they are brimming with ideas. And you never know when inspiration is about to strike - so it's very important to always have a notebook with you to capture them. The big ideas notebook is perfect for just that, hardwearing and can handle life in a handbag. It's also spiral bound, so it lays flat - perfect for mind mapping - and it means you can write in it wherever you are - planes, trains, buses, the tube... 

Oh, and it's personalised, so even more special! 

And if you have a friend who has been talking about starting a business for a long time but needs a nudge, take a look at the personalised goal journals. these are perfect to help you stay focused on what you want to achieve! Read more about these journals and why they are so effective here. 

And don't forget your gift box! Available with any luxe notebook or journal.
