Why this gift works
The Traveler's Notebook Regular Size starter kit from Traveler's Company is a leather cover, handcrafted in Thailand, about 9 by 5.7 inches, with an elastic band closure. It comes with a blank 64-page MD Paper refill made in Japan, a cotton bag and a spare band. Owners swap in refills and add inserts over time; this is the Black leather, item 13714006.
The leather softens and marks with use, which is the point: after a few trips it looks like hers. For an aunt who travels, plans outings with the kids or keeps lists, it becomes the notebook she carries everywhere.
Who is this gift for?
Great for
- An aunt who travels
- Planning outings with the kids
- Sketching and lists
Think twice if
- She keeps notes on her phone
- She wants a standard-size planner
The catch
Only one blank refill is included, it takes Traveler's Company's own tall, narrow refill size rather than standard notebooks, and some Amazon sellers are importers who price it above the US list.
Skip if she keeps notes on her phone, or wants a standard A5 planner.
