National Stationery Week 2017: Thank You Thursday [Department Store for the Mind review and giveaway]

I hope that this week’s National Stationery Week posts introduce you to at least one new brand and that you discover plenty of gorgeous goodies to adorn your office with. And perhaps some will help you with more than providing a nice new pen or notebook.

I first heard about Department Store for the Mind earlier this year and instantly fell for their simple and functional designs. Their strapline is ‘beautiful things for mindful living’ and they’ve got everything covered, from stationery and bookmarks, to mugs and posters. They make great gifts – or a treat for yourself!

Their gratitude journals are hugely popular and it’s easy to see why. They sent me one to review and it’s become an instant favourite, largely down to the paper quality – ain’t no ink gonna bleed through that bad boy! I don’t think… I didn’t wanna test the ol’ permanent marker on it cos it’s just so damn beautiful.

It’s a gorgeous clothbound hardback, with a little logo on the cover. I like that it’s blank for your own content and the sleeve includes some handy suggestions – and can double as a bookmark.

I also have TWO copies to give away, along with two copies of their ‘human states of mind’ poster – double winners! As with the rest of their stock, the poster is beautifully designed and rather insightful.
