This is my pad of choice when I'm taking notes on wine. I carry this in my pocketbook wherever I go, and it's at the ready for a quick entry on a wine I tried at a restaurant, a bottle that caught my eye at the store that I want to check up on later, or recommendations my friends make. Taking notes has really helped me broaden my wine experience and I think it is invaluable for anybody interested in wine.

A classic. At 5.5" x 3.5", you can take this notebook everywhere. Also available with plain blank pages, or with high-quality blank pages for sketching.

A great stocking stuffer for the writer, artist, note-taker . . . for almost anyone on your list!

These are a good small size that fits in purses, but are still easy to write in on-the-go because of their sturdy covers. I've filled up 4 of these in the past few years, and am enjoying seeing my little journal pile grow.

Love these little black books. I have gone through 3 of them so far.

the greatest journal ever. there are not words enough to express my love for this notebook or brand.

This small pad was one of the first products I received as a ThisNext maven.

Review: I have used this notbook for everything from jotting down notes and numbers to a food diary and my final decision is --- it's a small notebook like any other. The one bonus that does come in handy is the cord that binds the notebook together. This means when I throw it in my purse or stuff it in my jacket pocket the pages don't get all bent out of shape. Other than that ... it's just well, paper.

I just noticed a weekly planner made by this company recommended by this user. I'd love to get my hands on one of those!!

This should always be in your pocket if you have any inclination to create and have ideas.

idea holder, organizer, doodle pad, AND built-in pretension.

that said, i still have one, and i like it--as much as one can like a notebook, i suppose.
