Typing on a keyboard is now the main means of communications for most, and it makes me wonder; is anyone picking up a pen these days? Call me ‘old fashioned’, but I do love receiving a hand written note every now & then. I think it’s also a great gesture to receive some good quality stationery or a leather bound notebook as a gift, as some of these classics never truly go out of fashion.
For example, the colourful collections from Spector & Co. actually inspire me to write! Although a Blackberry & laptop can provide you with many ways to keep organized, I personally find that having a notepad handy proves to been more than convenient!
These basic & colourful 3”x5” jotters have a flip top, & the mini pens make the set so sweet. Perfect size to throw in a purse or backpack.
Or, put your best side forward with the side spiral jotter combo.
*Either of these kind of notepads are also available in larger sizes if preferred.
Perhaps a refillable leather journal (available with or without coordinating pen) is more suitable. These are great options, and come with paper which is 100% recycled paper, made in Canada.
For 2009, Spector has expanded their eco collection to include numerous styles of notepads & pens.
These hardcover journals are made from 95% recycled materials, with a choice of a colourful trim & coordinating pen.
Some of the best thoughts ever produced in this world were captured by simply putting pen to paper, so let’s keep on writing on! Please check out more options at: www.spectorandco.ca
