"Thank you very much for your excellent service Paulina, in getting a (very good quality) birthday book in the colour I wanted very quickly and efficiently.  You rang when you said you would, and you were polite and friendly and a pleasure to deal with. Thank you, too, to Kirsty who has excellent packing skills, using impressively ‘green’ packaging and no Sellotape! (I also liked the fact that receipt/packing slip was very clear with all the details included on a neat slip of paper). The birthday book reached me in good time so that I could send it on to reach its destination by the deadline and it was very much appreciated by the recipient. Thank you again – I intend to shop with you again!" - H.E. 25.01.20

I bought the Florentine writing paper and envelopes and they are every bit as lovely as I had hoped.

I ordered a music manuscript journal with a personalised engraving and it has totally surpassed my expectations. I have been looking for this specific gift for someone special for months now, I feel I must have searched the whole of internet and nearby shops but couldn't find anything close to what I was imagining: a high quality, leather journal to write music... It looks beautiful, stylish and personal, and the size is wider and thicker than I thought it would be, I love it. I can't wait to gift it to the talented music composer for the New Years, who I believe just needs to own something like this. Thank you for being out there." - K.S. 06/12/16
