Presents for her that are not another candle
This page is for when you know exactly who you are buying for and the occasion is doing none of the work. Everything here is the same A5 notebook at the same price, and only what is cut into the cover changes. These are covers for a sister, an auntie, a friend or a partner with no date attached, and they split fairly cleanly into two kinds: a picture of something she does, or a line she would say herself.

A picture of the thing she disappears into
These covers run a drawing across the base with her name set above it, and they are quiet designs. There are nine wildflowers drawn singly, among them a daisy, a tulip, a poppy and lavender; a garden's worth of stems, seed packets, a trowel, a watering can and bees; an apron, a chef's hat, a whisk, a rolling pin and a tiered cake; and a cook at the stove. The row of yoga poses, one flowing into the next, comes in two versions depending on whether she practises standing or on the floor. A single spray of flowers also sits as one small mark above the name, for somebody who would find a full band across the cover far too much.
Or a line she would say herself
Be Bold builds one line from three words that each begin with Be, shuffled from a bank of fifty or so and editable over the top, with her initials in the corner. The empowering quotes cover does the same thing with whole lines about getting on with it. Neither is a quotation from anybody in particular, so there is no risk of a misattribution engraved into leather, and both can be thrown away entirely and replaced with your own sentence. If you already know the sentence, your own words takes it in whichever face suits it, at whatever size.
When it should simply be about her
The name and monogram cover carries her initials cut large with the full name beneath and nothing else on the cover at all, which is why it works for a new job as readily as a birthday. The sky chart draws the night above a place on a date that means something. And the sister and auntie covers state the title outright in the heaviest type we have, with the role left as a word you can change if she gets called something else. These are the ones to pick when a picture would only be guessing.
Nothing is picked off a shelf: each one is engraved after you order it, so allow a couple of days between the order and the post. How long making, dispatch and delivery take is set out on Delivery and returns.
