With all of the reviewing of our products that we offer at BSP in accordance with the opening of our new site, I have come back to the love of leather journals. With the option of engraving or embossing most journals, “My Little Secrets” would look great in blind on the cover.  I catch myself frequently flailing around brilliant thoughts with nothing to write them down on, only to be lost with all the other restless trafficking of information inside my brain.  Of course, these thoughts happen in the middle of the night while trying to decipher if I’m still dreaming or lying awake, only to find myself awake and too lazy to get out of bed or asleep, succumbed by the slumbering snores, spinning all conscious thought through a sporadic windmill to create dream after dream.   Of all the journals we offer here at BlueSkyPapers, the leather pocket journal works best for me; with the ease of caring this journal on my person, thoughts will no longer drift away with the sawing sounds of sleep, they will be transferred to paper, and forever remembered in reality.  The key, now: pajamas with pockets.  Which BSP journal are you?

Great Journals for Men

Saturday, January 16th, 2010

Rugged and masculine journals for men can sometimes be difficult to find in stores or online shops, so we’ve rounded up our most popular (and practical!) journals for men, along with some helpful tips on how to choose the right journal for that special man in your life!

Journals For Men

1. Leather Oblation Journal 2. Leather Rustic Journal 3. Rustic Leather Refillable Notebook 4. Rustic Leather Lined Notebook
5. Professional Italian Leather Journals 6. Rustic Wool Writing Journal 7. Constellation Leather Sketchbook

When looking for great journals for men, consider these 3 tips when choosing the right one:

Lined Journal Pages

1. Is he a free-thinking daydreamer, or orderly gentleman? 

Free Thinker: Choose a journal with blank pages to allow for brainstorming, spur of the moment ideas in the middle of the night, sketches, and other little things he may collect on the way.

Orderly: Choose a journal with lined pages for streamlined notes, charts or graphs for research and work.

Refillable Journals are great for writers

2. Is he a man of few words or natural born storyteller? 

Man of Few Words: Start with a small, thin journal so he isn’t overwhelmed. You know he has great ideas and a knack for meaningful thought, so start him off with something small, light, and practical.

Natural Storyteller: Try going the refillable journal or notebook route. This way, he can keep adding pages and reuse the same awesome leather journal cover.

Professional Leather Journals for Men

3. Does he keep everything in a back pocket or is he a brief-case kind of guy?

Back Pocket: If he’s relaxed, and casual most of the time, get him something small that can be tucked into his back pocket or back pack when he’s on the go.

Brief Case: If he’s a professional with a desk job, get him something professional that will show co-workers he means business while looking great on his desk or at meetings.

Don’t forget, personalizing the front or back of a journal is a great way to give one of these simple, and handsome journals a personal touch!
