What's in your NM notebook?

So many beautiful notebooks and journals go out of the door here at Noble Macmillan never to be seen again and we have always wondered what happens to them. Let's face it, we're nosy. We want to have a look and see what you've been up to. Whether you're a list maker or a doodler, an appointment keeper or a faithful journal updater. It's fun to think of all the treasured journals travelling the world in handbags and suitcases, safely sitting on bookshelves or bedside tables. So we were excited to receive these photos from a customer who uses hers to keep a track of what's in bloom in her garden. Every week she fills in a diagram of what's out and what she needs to do, colour coded of course. It's genius. Just wondering what's in yours?

Time to Diarise

2012 is fast approaching and there's nothing more therapeutic than buying a brand spanking new diary and filling it up with all the important dates. Our ever popular diaries are available in a fantastic range of colours and come in both the pocket and mezzo sizes. All diaries come with a week-to-view format, ribbon marker and a beautiful gift box and ribbon. See the flame colour below featured in today's Daily Telegraph.

King of the Keyrings

New to our collection this year and already a huge hit is our calfskin leather keyring. It can be personalised with initials and is a brilliant stocking filler. A different colour for each member of the family will mean no one gets their keys mixed up.

Note Perfect

Rubbing shoulders with all the other lovely notebooks in last Friday's ES Magazine was our Eley Kishimoto Mini Lizzy Notebook. Hand bound in Eley Kishimoto's archive mini lizzy fabric and with two orange gros grain ribbons it's guaranteed to put a smile on any face for Christmas.

The holidays are coming the holidays are coming!

OK it's not quite December, but since we've been planning Christmas since sometime back in July now that it's finally here (or very nearly) we are excited. The shop is looking just a little bit festive and there's more to come, just tweaking the bulbs on the fairy lights. We are confident that we have something for absolutely everyone, it will be hard to come and not leave with a few people ticked off the list. And if you're stuck on stockings, have a look at our stocking filler ideas on our facebook page

On the Christmas Wishlist

Our new magnetic leather iPad 2 cover has definitely been our hero present this Christmas. In our fantastic range of colours we've got all the bases covered; men and women, boys and girls. With the hard shell case covered in our soft calfskin leather it's the perfect protector for your iPad. The folding magnetic cover means you can stand it upright either horizontally or vertically. We all want one...just hoping Father Christmas is going to deliver the iPad.
