Blank books—like sketchbooks, notepads, and planners, are intentionally blank and waiting for you to fill their pages. A blank book offers an empty canvas to scrawl all of your wild and wonderful ideas, like personal goals, inspirational quotes, or those ever-important notes to self.
Planners aren’t completely blank—they’re laid out like a calendar to help you keep track of school meetings, exams, job interviews, children’s sports games, music lessons, meal planning, and anniversaries. There’s often a grid of some sort to help you get organized.
Choose novelty stationery like a leather journal to keep all your ideas accessible and in one place. Display it openly as decor on a coffee table to share your designs, or keep it hidden in a side table for your eyes only.
