What to Get Embossed on a Notebook

Surprise! The Leuchtturm1917 free personalization event is back this weekend! From Friday to Monday, get free personalization with select notebook purchases from the brand through our website. Just look for the “custom debossing” in the title of the listing, and you’ll know you’re using the promo.

Whether you’re looking for an official bullet journal, a small A6 notebook to take on the go, or even a sketchbook, custom debossing makes your notebook uniquely yours before you even put pen to page. With that in mind, what should we get embossed? Decisions, decisions…

If you’re looking for a gift for someone, there are a lot of reasons to get a personalized notebook. When looking for a personal gift, it is great to think about the picky people in your life who seem to have everything. What do they love, and what do they use?

For the reader, you might want to consider the title of their favourite book as inspiration for what to get debossed! Pictured: Pacific green notebook with copper debossing.

For the reader, you might want to consider the Ex Libris journal. You could get the title of their favourite book or name of their favourite author imprinted into the cover. If you have a cook or baker in your life, a recipe book is always needed, and labelling it as such shows you care! A blank notebook to paste recipe cards, musings, and inspiration all together could be the perfect gift way to get an extra treat or two at the summer barbecues after social distancing is over.

Don’t forget, the summer is full of special occasions too! Father’s Day is also coming up, and you should have your personalized notebooks with time to spare if you’re ordering this weekend. Whether it’s movies, gardening, or work projects that Dad wants to remember, the possibilities for customization are endless. If Dad has bigger handwriting, you might want to try the B5 sized notebook. It’s just a bit bigger than a standard A5, but not as large as the large A4 size, making it great to slip into a briefcase or laptop bag.

Graduation is right around the corner for the university and high school students around us. Though we’re all pretty grounded at the moment, many students enjoy travelling when they graduate. Do you know where they’re planning to go when they can? “London Calling” or “J’Adore Paris” could be great for memory books, or just “Katy’s Travels” or “Wanderlust” leaves your student free to globetrot wherever they please. If they’re going right into the working world, an A4 slim notebook makes a great first impression and will have enough room for tons of notes, drawings, and even some doodles too. For even more pages, check out the A4 master notebook!

Summer season is wedding season, and what better way to celebrate the rest of your lives besides a memory book? A custom notebook could make a great guestbook, a planner to keep all of the details of the event straight, or a memory book to collect all those photos, favours, and memorable moments together. A Some Lines a Day book is another great way to capture memories for the first five years of marriage as well. Wouldn’t we all love to do what we were thinking this time five years ago?

When in doubt, a name always makes it special. Pictured: royal blue with silver debossing.

And what about for yourself? Have you picked up any new hobbies or talents the last few months? We find that writing things down always helps us to process what’s going on in the world. Journaling? Working out? Sketching, painting, or drawing? Even dream journals are popular! You can track no matter what you want to remember. We recommend the A5 dot grid notebook for all purposes because it has enough structure to keep you in the lines but enough freedom to build whatever you like out of the pages. It’s the best seller for a reason!

If you’re just looking for something super personal, there is one way you can never go wrong: a name.

There are a few other details to consider when thinking about what you want on your notebook. You have the choice of two different fonts and three different colours. You can choose if you want the embossing on the left, centre, or right of the cover, but it will be on the bottom no matter where you choose to have it aligned.
