If you love hand bound, chances are you like handmade goods in general and making things yourself. Have you checked out Homemade With Love magazine? Their Christmas edition is full of great ideas of things to make and do for the holiday season, including how-to projects for those inclined and handmade gift ideas for those with a little too much on their plate to start making their own.
I'm chuffed to see my Monochrome Mini Journals featured as a stocking filler idea, alongside other gorgeous Christmas gift ideas from a variety of my fellow independent designer-makers.
Check out more Monochrome gift options, prices at £10, £39 and £99 for all budgets.
My thanks to the team at Homemade With Love magazine, especially the Editor, Anna Simmonds who is also the talent behind the Crafting Fingers blog. It's her first issue of Homemade With Love and I think she's made a grand job of it. Congratulations and season's greetings for a very happy Christmas!

It's cold and grey but thanks to Country Living magazine we're dreaming of brighter times. With our heart firmly in the country, we love Country Living and are so very pleased to see our Mini Journals featured in the April edition!
This spring BOUND's customers have been using Mini Journals for Easter treasure hunts with their grandchildren and as longer lasting gifts in addition to the much loved but quickly devoured Easter egg!
Check out the Emporium pages for 'inspiring ideas for simple country style'. There are gorgeous bird themed suitcases from The Oak Room, a quirky one-off teapot from Virginia Graham and lots of useful, pretty and highly individual ideas for home and garden.
Huge thanks to Celia Stuart-Menteth and the rest of the Country Living team for producing, month on month, year on year, such a well-loved and inspiring magazine and for featuring the work of independent designer makers such as BOUND. We think you're great!

Back in 2011, British entrepreneur and Dragons' Den investor, Deborah Meaden, recommended Susan Green's "very stylish hand bound books and journals" as a quality Christmas gift in her Twelve Tweets of Christmas campaign, along with British stalwarts such as Neals Yard Remedies and Kent Brushes.

Boosted by Deborah's support, Susan relaunched her bookbinding business in November 2012 as BOUND. (Susan's business was previously known simply as Susan Green Books, which she began in 2008.) BOUND's launch was covered by the Business Matters section of the Stour & Avon Magazine this month.
Famed and much beloved - along with its sister publication, the Blackmore Vale Magazine - for its enthusiasm for the arts and local economy, the Stour & Avon covers the part of East Dorset where our studio is located. We're fortunate to be very close to contemporary craft venue Walford Mill Crafts and hundreds of other designer-makers, artists, musicians and writers.
My thanks to the Stour and Avon Magazine and its news editor Marilyn Barber for their unstinting support of Dorset's creative economy. And of course, my thanks to Deborah Meaden for championing British creatives, entrepreneurs and manufacturers.

Our Wedding Guest Books are bound in the finest white goatskin with neutral accents and feature the words 'Happily ever after...' on the frontspage. Thanks to their special binding style, they lie open on a table to receive your guests' well wishes - perfect for the reception or gift area at your wedding.
We also bind these Guest Books in your choice of 26 leather colours to co-ordinate with your colour scheme and with custom text - our couples often choose their names, their wedding date and location. More information on our Bespoke Service can be found here or email info@boundbyhand.co.uk to discuss your requirements.
Our thanks to Interiors Editor Alexandra Richards and Dorset magazine, which is published by Archant Life.

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!
