Exotic Gift

Product picture

These were gifts for my nieces - I ordered two sets. They always wonder what Aunt Mer got them for Christmas - because I always send them something from Novica! They started trying to figure out what the paper was made of and how... They grew curious about the people who made the journals and researched! It's safe to say, they were enchanted. Since Christmas, the older of the two uses one regularly as a journal and the other for creative writing. The younger one writes and draws in hers. My brother had to convince them to start using them - they both regarded them more as objects of art than journals! I'm glad they got past that, but it does speak volumes about the beauty of these journals.

Exquisite Gift

This book is a treasure! Far more impressive than the photograph for the quality of care in every aspect of its construction. I got it as a gift for my partner as he tells wonderful stories of his childhood. Though he does not journal, I encouraged him to use this beautiful book to write those stories that they may be enjoyed by his children and perhaps grandchildren some day. I am an artist in the US, graduated from a well known art college. Freshman year, the Calligraphy class required that we create a book from scratch, including end papers, binding, cover etc. It took a month of serious effort and I am proud of my creation, but easily admit that this book far exceeds my own. It is simply beautiful.

Great Gift!

I bought this item as a birthday gift for a dear friend. The picture does not do justice to it as the blue covering is vibrant and the leaf pattern quite striking. Even the gift wrapping was a work of art, so much so that my friend took a picture of it before opening the present. Needless to say that she loved the gift! Compliments to the artisan!
