On the work level one of my goals for the coming year is to become a better, more competent web designer. And I’m thinking this web design sketchbook (this year’s holiday gift from Hyper Interacktiv) would help me get majorly motivated.

Thanks to my obsessions with both notebooks and planners, the Chronotebook by designer Wong Kok Keong is my favorite winner of the MUJI Award 02 competition by far. I can’t wait to get my hot little hands on one!
Diary schedules are arranged in lines and grids, which are difficult to see and has little flexibility. This notebook makes it clear, intuitive and easy to plan and see your daily schedules.

I’m an admitted notebook-a-holic and the little guys from Five and a Half are some of the best I’ve seen. Love the kitschy photography that adorns the cover of each one and I always have a tough time saying no to dessert.
A cute little notebook is a must to throw in my purse. This one’s adorable and not a big commitment which is perfect because I like to change things up a lot.
While surfing Etsy during lunch I came across these Rosewood Noteblocks by seller livingroomfloor. I think that their intended use is scrapbooking, but I love the type enough to just tack them to my bulletin board! They’re not large enough to mail – 4.75 x 2.5″ – otherwise I’d use a set as postcards, too.
The &pencil notebook is a little bit genius. Never lose your pencil again since it fits into the diecut pages of the notebook which then stays shut with the help of an elastic band. My purse tends to be more like luggage and things I need fall to the bottom of the abyss constantly. This would be perfection.
Now this, this would make an amazing gift. One Year of White Pages gives you twelve slim moleskin-like journals, one per month. Each journal has eighty pages and one hole punched out of the edge for each month to keep track. A steal at $35.
Some of the biggest ideas in the world started as a little sketch on a cocktail napkin.
The business plan for Southwest Airlines. Picasso’s earliest sketch of Guernica. The first sentence in A Farewell to Arms. All brilliant ideas that started out on a napkin. Imagine if they’d had a whole napkin notebook.
Now it’s your turn.
