Lovingly hand made, these journals contain 100% Australian Made post-consumer recycled paper. The covers and contents of old books are recycled, re-loved and transformed into a spiral-bound book you can use as a journal, a notebook — whatever you want.

You can rest assured that these books didn’t die in vain: old books with writing, torn pages and other damage have been preserved as much as possible in the process of making these journals. What results is a charming, one-off book that inspires. I would recommend these to be used as a notebook, a journal, a place to jot down ideas, a book for children to draw in. They’re also a great gift idea for anyone who likes something a little bit quirky and handmade. The spiral bounding is sturdy and there are plenty of pages, as well as in many cases a whole book to look at.

In stock at the moment we have Golden Books, Children on the Farm, The Amazing Duke, and many more. For a great gift or some inspiration with your writing, come down and have a look at one. They’re sturdy, come in all sizes, and start at $9.95.

The back of the packet says “WARNING: DO NOT USE ON YOUR OLD TIMETABLE”. Although I don’t think there’s any chance I’m going to mistake one of these for a record and sit it down on my Symphony turntable, they are very cool.

With five in a packet they’re not really suitable for economy use, but I think they’ll be great to burn CDs for listening to in the car and on my stereo. They add an extra personal touch if you’re burning a CD for a friend, too. Something a lot more professional looking than a regular CD-R. 

So if you’re sick of boring old blank CDs or you know someone who likes burning their own playlists, have a look at these in our gift section. They’re $12.95 for five, and they come in set of cardboard sleeves good enough for presentation.
