It’s that time of the year again… Young lovers eagerly plan for it, elderly couples may have forgotten all about it, singles stick their nose up at it, and boyfriends sweat over it. Yes, indeed we are talking about Valentines Day.
A day where florists flourish, and a time when it’s more than appropriate to consume your weight in chocolate for dinner. Not to mention a bottle or two of South Australia’s finest red. This esteemed day brings a subtle grace to the air; this thing called love can be smelt from the highest of mountains, and the deepest of forests. The butterflies even have butterflies.
A bit of a difficult task for this day it seems, however, is finding the right ‘something’ to give to your loved one. Not all couples worry about this side of Valentines Day, yet it’s a tradition that most seem to adhere to. Because the amount of trouble you’ll get in if you don’t…….
At SB Libris, we’ve crafted something really quite special for sweethearts this year. Leather is a beautiful and timeless gift for either gender, and of almost all ages. And for Valentines Day we've taken the time and love to create luxurious and unique leather journals, handcrafted with beautiful leathers.
A brilliant time to select a journal with a little bit of love on the cover. Better yet, that love can be customized to something more close to your heart. Perhaps an embossing of the date you first met? Or lyrics of your favourite song together? Maybe it’s something a little more subtle, such as your partners’ initials.
These distinctive leathered goods are also a lovely size, which can pop into your hand or man bag easily, with ample paper to write those endless love notes on. If big is better however, we can cater to this too. SB Libris not only stocks journals of all sizes and leathers, we also offer recipe books, photo albums, and an extensive range more.
Ultimately, if you or your favourite love cooking, keeping memories, writing, longevity, quality, stationary or even note taking – a personalized leather journal is a perfect tie to bind you together this Valentines Day.
And what a beautiful wrap it is!
Our leather rustic wrap journal is still our number 1 bestselling product for so many reasons. In case you're not aware of them, we’ve listed a few below:
Reason 1: Luxurious Fine Leather Cover
Soft with a subtly aged look, the covers wrap around and tie with a leather strap. Three equally gorgeous colours to choose from - brown, chestnut and black.
Reason 2: Pages Begging to be Written On
The handmade, deckled edged papers of the rustic wrap allow for beautiful penmanship whether you opt to use a ball point, fountain pen, or even water colour paint.
Reason 3: They're Customisable
Apart from the obvious choices of colour and size, you can also opt to have the journal stamped with a title, initials or a date. This makes a great gift for so many occasions; – travel journal, wedding guest book, wedding anniversary (1st is paper!) corporate gift or occasion birthday.
