Fine leather Wedding Guest Books, Memory Books, Journals and Sketchbooks handmade in the UK by bookbinder Susan Green.

The Sunday Telegraph, Life

by Susan Green December 02, 2012

We're very happy to see our Mini Journals mentioned in today's Sunday Telegraph Life supplement in a feature on homemade hampers - what a great idea!

As well as oodles of delicious food and drink goodies, the Telegraph suggests a few 'bonus presents... a little something extra', which is where our Mini Journals are mentioned as "bonsai notebooks hand bound in goatskin" - such a delightful description.

Other interesting bonus gift ideas include a Christmas dinner vegetable seed box and an Himalayan salt plate (we might have to look that one up).

Whether you're going to slip one into a Christmas stocking or follow the Telegraph's lead and make your own hamper, there's still time to order a Mini Journal or two in time for Christmas, in a range of colour combinations from festive, to citrus to smooth caffè tones.

We're taking orders up to 19th December for standard delivery, but by special request we'll send them by Next Day service right up until the 21st if you're having a last minute spree.

Our thanks to journalist Harriot Lane Fox and The Sunday Telegraph for supporting independent designer-makers. Merry Christmas!
