The whole catalogue is a lot to scroll if you already know who the notebook is for. This is the same catalogue sorted by the person instead, with a link straight to each design's own page, where you type the actual wording and see it engraved on the cover before you pay.
Every one is £17.99 plus £2.75 postage, engraved to order once you buy and posted within one working day.
A milestone birthday
The Chapter designs mark a birthday as a new chapter rather than a number on a card, with the age in the title and a name underneath. They run from a 16th to an 80th, taking in the ones people search for by name: 18th, 21st, 30th, 40th, 50th, 60th and 70th.
Turning an age that is not on that list? Open any of them and type the number you want.
A thank-you at the end of term
The teacher and mentor designs all carry a role, and on every one of them that role is a word you can change - so a deputy head, a coach or a driving instructor gets the same cover with their own title on it.
Three blunt words, the role in the biggest type on the cover: Best teacher ever, Best teaching assistant ever, Best mentor ever, Best head teacher ever and Best lecturer ever.
Or a dictionary entry, where the definition is yours to write: Teacher, defined, Teaching assistant, defined, Mentor, defined, Head teacher, defined and Lecturer, defined.
For someone who would rather say what they do than what they are: Teaching is my thing, Mentoring is my thing, Lecturing is my thing, Teach, inspire, repeat, Mentor, inspire, repeat and Lecture, inspire, repeat.
One carries engraved artwork rather than type alone: Too cool for school, a lightning bolt between four blunt words.
And four that take a different line altogether: Making it exciting, The book of brilliant ideas, Inspiring minds and A child's own drawing, which engraves a picture they drew exactly as they drew it.
Someone who plays
The sports notebooks are written as dictionary entries that are more affectionate than accurate. Football, Netball, Rugby, Cricket, Tennis, Swimming, Running and Dance.
Some go further and define the position rather than the sport, which is the version that tends to land: Goal Attack, Goal Shooter, Centre, Goalkeeper, Striker, Scrum Half, Butterfly and Front Crawl.
Mum, Dad, or whoever raised you
The family designs say it three ways, and the role on every one of them is a word you can change, so a stepdad, a godmother or a Nanna gets the same cover with the right name on it.
A definition written for that person rather than a label: Mum, Dad, Nana, Grandad, Son, Daughter, Sister, Brother, Aunty, Uncle and Friend.
Or the line everyone says, set properly: World's best Mum, Nan, Sister, Aunty, Dad, Grandad, Brother, Uncle and Friend.
Or the same sentiment with more shouting: Best Mum ever, Nan, Sister, Aunty, Dad, Grandad, Brother, Uncle and Friend.
A place that means something
City skylines, drawn as a band across the foot of the cover with a name above: London, Paris, Rome, Barcelona, Madrid, Manchester, Las Vegas and Les Arcs 1950.
If the place you want is not a city on that list, the map notebooks go further: Your place, mapped draws anywhere on earth, with its name and coordinates beneath.
Whatever they are into
The illustrated bands run the full width of the cover with a name above them, and most of them are about a hobby rather than an occasion: Camping and the Campervan, Baking, Gardening, Wildflowers, Golf, Travel, a Shooting star, a Football kit laid out, and whoever does the cooking, her or him.
The strips do the same in a single quiet row, which suits a name that should stay the loudest thing on the cover: Dachshunds, French bulldogs, Hearts, Stars, Flowers and yoga in standing or floor poses.
A wedding, or an anniversary
Two hands engraves both names along the arms of a line drawing, with the date beneath, which is the one here built for a couple rather than a person. Alongside it: a Wedding band of rings, cake and confetti, and the Hands emblem on its own.
Something quieter
Secret message keeps a short line just between the two of you, engraved small rather than announced across the cover. Your own words does the same at a larger size in block or serif, for a vow, a line from a song, or whatever the two of you actually say. And Dictionary definition sets a word, its phonetic spelling and a meaning you write, for defining a person the way a dictionary would.
Nothing to say, just their name
The name designs carry nothing else. Name and monogram pairs initials with a full name. Property of states it more plainly. And Build your own leaves the bottom third of the cover empty for you to fill with stickers, a piece at a time.
One mark, and nothing else
The emblems put a single drawing above the name rather than a band beneath it, which suits a cover that should stay mostly empty: Around the world for a traveller, Wildflower spray, Ski goggles and Hands.
From a photograph
The photo notebooks start from a picture. Portrait and caption turns a photo into engraving-ready line art with a short caption underneath. It is the one design that starts from a picture rather than a phrase, and the preview shows you the engraved version before you commit.
Still not it
