Best selling Personalised Stationery and gifts
My absolute fave personalised items to make are those where the words I’m asked to type are complete nonsense to me. Often they are bought as gifts so there is a really personal connection between the giver and receiver. An ‘in joke’ or phrase that only they will understand. I LOVE IT! more of those please :)

All of my eco conscious notebooks are hand painted, hand stitched and typed with your personalised text on my vintage typewriter Dorothy.

Something Personal
My favourite personalisations to type are the ones that make no sense to me at all, because I know that they are something just between friends or partners for them to see and share and know.
How to personalise - top tips
Love the idea of personalised stationery or gifts but no idea what to put? here are some tips.
Meaningful
In Joke
Remind them of something you think they need to hear often. Maybe they forget past achievements and need to be inspired to keep going to reach their goals.
Motivational or inspiring
For a truly thoughtful and personal gift think about what the lucky recipient will use it for. This can help you to come up with the perfect words.
I totally love it when the text I’m asked to type seems like nonsense to me, because it means it’s deeply personal and only understood between the giver and receiver.

A beautiful deckled edge to the covers gives each notebook a touch of timeless imperfection.

How many words can I have?
The style of these books is better suited to one or two words. So that your text fits nicely above the ribbon - I also space the letters out more than Dorothy’s usual style which takes a little more room but I think it looks great.
Can I use a fountain pen or watercolours in it?
Absolutely - l use fountain paper on this paper every day. it doesn’t feather or bleed. you can use a wide range of artist media too, including marker and brush pens, charcoal, pencil and even a light wash of watercolour ( I wouldn’t soak it)
Size?
Available in 2 sizes, A5 and A6 with 60 pages of 140gsm recycled cartridge paper hand stitched inside a typed cover of handmade cotton paper that has been made from textile industry waste.
Sustainability
Materials
The cover of your personalised notebook will be individually typed on beautifully textured handmade cotton paper that has been made from textile industry waste - it has a lovely deckled edge - this beautiful feathery edge forms where the paper pulp seeps under the ‘deckle’ [the frame used in paper making
The pages inside are made of 140gsm (that’s lovely and thick) recycled cartridge paper that has been made from 100% UK Post consumer waste ( You know, the stuff you chuck in your paper recycling bin)
Energy
The power to type your notebook comes only from my nimble fingers. They are fuelled by tea and biscuits and the rest of my studio is powered by the sun
Everything I do at Blue Stiggy HQ is put through the lens of trying to do my best to minimise my impact on the planet. You can find more detailed information about the materials and processes I use and how I try to minimise my impact on the planet here
