Who doesn't love journals?! They're the perfect gift, whether for a friend, a mentor, a niece or nephew, or even for self-care. Melanie Perkins of Gilded Iris Designs recognizes that journals are alluring because they are designed for self-expression (which is why they make such great personalized gifts) and self-discovery (which is why we can't resist adding just one more to our personal collection). Take a look around and enjoy the quirkiness that journals bring out in us! You're sure to find something that's just perfect for that music lover, or that new entrepreneur you're rooting for, or that soon-to-be-organized bullet journal novice. Or, if you're needing more direction and not ready to go shopping yet, look me up on Pinterest under Gilded Iris Designs and find all sorts of ideas for how to get the most out of journaling.
