Old English Co. Personalised Notebooks | Review

[Ad- gifted product] I use notebooks a lot in my daily life. As a big fan of lists, breaking down projects into bite-sized pieces, and having everything in one place, I use a variety of notebooks to hold many of these lists and bits of information. I even have a small collection of tiny notebooks specifically for events or writing notes while out and about, in case I need to write about something later. The Old English Co has a large collection of notebooks, including ones that have inspirational quotes or phrases on them, which can be personalised further!

When it came to selecting my notebook, I wanted a phrase that would easily tell me what this notebook was for, so I went with the ‘You Should Just Go For It’ notebook, in black and gold, to put different projects into and to add to my bag, which I carry around daily, so I could be reminded of my projects and work towards them well out. I did quite like the ‘My brain has too many tabs open’ notebook as well, which is just so relatable. That’s what’s cool about this selection – so many of the phrases are quite well written and are so relatable – it’s so easy to find one that relates to you!

I further customised my notebook with my first and last name, as it belongs to me, but you could fill out just your first name, your initials, or whatever you want really. The writing on the cover of these Old English Co notebooks are done in gold foil, slightly raised from the black, mat cover that can be found underneath. The gold shines in the light and looks really lovely – and I quite like the way these fonts all look hand written, with the o’s slightly different in each world, as if someone hand wrote in gold.

The pages in this notebook are lined, with plenty of space, and are slightly thick and a bit waxy. It feels nice and durable, especially when you write on them. The spine is sturdy and holds pages well, which is always good in a notebook. The notebook is also a great size, fitting in well with the normal notebooks that I carry around. There is something about these phrases that are inspiring and are a great reminder, before you get to noting down whatever you want to note, that you should go out on a limb and try hard for success – or at least, that’s what this phrase means to me.
