Only 9 more shopping days til Christmas! Notebooks can make gifts for pretty much anyone, but here’s a few ideas for when you’re trying to find something just right!

For someone crafty, how about the Stitchable Journal: Personalized Journal & Decorative Keepsake Box— it comes in a kit with yarn and needles that allow you to create a design on the cover in actual needlepoint!

For an artist: Hand Book Artist Journals are my favorite notebooks for sketching with a variety of media– pencils, pens, markers and even watercolors all work well on the 130 gsm paper. They come in beautiful colors and a few different formats, including the rather unique 5.5×5.5″ square!

For someone who loves to travel: the Nomad Travel Journal w/ Leather Case is a nice way to document every trip, with formatted pages to help you record all the important details of your trip.

For a sports fan: How about the Moleskine City Notebook London? Even if they’re not attending the 2012 Olympics, they can at least follow along vicariously and jot down ideas for a future visit! Or you could get them a Rite in the Rain notebook– if it’s waterproof, it must also be sweat-proof! Perfect for gym workout logging, or note-taking on soccer field sidelines.

As for everyone else on your list, if you want to give an inexpensive gift that anyone can appreciate, stop by your local Borders store and grab some Piccadilly notebooks. Happy stocking-stuffing!
