The age old question:

For me, the answer is very simple: stationery. I probably have ten notebooks at home that I love so much l don’t want to write in them. If you’re a book lover, odds are you share my passion. That’s why I’ve created a roundup of some of my absolute favorite stationery products that make perfect gifts for anyone on your list. Or, let’s be honest, for yourself.

This Q&A A Day journal. It’s like an analog Time Hop.

This Letters To My Future Self book (but maybe start in 2017 so your future self doesn’t have to relive 2016).

This gorgeous set of three Breakfast At Tiffany’s inspired notebooks (which, sadly, isn’t available until February but it’ll be the perfect Galentine’s Day gift).

This Daily Dishonesty note/mousepad so you can keep up on all your tasks, while convincing yourself you’re doin’ it right.

This Hogwarts wax seal set because you can never be too careful. (You can also check out our Harry Potter gift guide here!)

Notecards, because what’s classier than custom letterhead?
So, so many customization options.

This cute and encouraging notebook.

This bullet journal (complete with instructions) to keep you on top of your game.

These pocket-sized writing prompts.

These oddly motivating pencils.

Or, these slightly less irreverent but still awesome pencils.

These notepads from fictional hotels (available as a set or individually).

This Adventure Time notebook set, complete with pen, bookmark, and ruler.

This really pretty leather journal.

And this gorgeously packaged quill pen set to write in it with.

Also this book on hand lettering so you can actually use your new quill pen set.

Go ahead. We give you permission.
