The personal blog of Lucy Hutchon
This box (or tube) has had a LOT of bad publicity and it has taken me a while to decide whether I actually like the box.
I’ve decided I appreciate that Papergang tried something different, I am however not the biggest fan of the contents. Continue reading “Papergang Box No.25 Unboxing Review”
I pride myself on gift giving, the excitement of getting something so perfect for someone and it getting to the day, them opening it and loving it, really is the best feeling!
So here is a little guide of ideas for gifts for your loved ones. I will be doing another gift guide very soon with great secret Santa gifts, this guide is perfect for family!
This book is perfect for the little one in the family!
Not only does it come as a train but you can get it in multiple designs which can be suited to boys and girls.
The best thing about the book is that it’s not just a book, it’s a road to play with and it converts into a train!
Unicorns are all the rage at the moment, from little children to teens (and older!) This LED light is a nice alternative to something that is overly sparkly, it can add the perfect amount of pizazz to your room without going OTT.
This one is slightly pricier but still a great idea for the budding gardener who also likes beer! (here’s looking at you dads…)
This is also on the pricey side, but I’ve always thought getting a genuine leather notebook and a pen with it, is a lovely gift. And with Not on the High Street you can get it personalised.
This is a gorgeous print for your partner.
You can have the soundwave print to say what ever you want, whether it’s of you saying ‘I do’ or simply ‘I love you’ it can be anything.

By now you will have seen or at least heard of a bullet journal, but if not, this guide will show you what it is, what they do for you and give you an insight in how to set one up.
A bullet journal is a customisable journal, it can be a to do list, sketchbook, notepad, diary but most likely all of the above! It’s a place where you can write everything down, I use mine as a to do list/ diary.
At minimum you will need
1 x Black pen
1 x Ruler
1 x Notebook – blank, dotted or squared!
(My notebook is one I received exclusively through Ohh Deer’s Papergang subscription box, this is with blank pages)
To start with you need to make an index, this is like the backbone of the bullet journal, this is where you organise the whole journal and where you plan where everything will go in your journal. You add each topic with page numbers and every topic is called a ‘collection’.
Next you think about what collections you want. In official bullet journals there are 3 main collections:
FUTURE LOG: Where you write down events happening in the coming months
MONTHLY LOG: Where you organise your month, this is laid out in two ways…
DAILY LOG: This is a day to day log where you give yourself a to-do list for every day.
Okay… now it’s time to think of your page designs.
Do you want a monthly welcome page? A habit tracker or personal goals page? Here are a few examples of layouts you could use.
I use the calendars from my Papergang subscription to introduce a new month.
One thing you have to remember is DO NOT WORRY if it doesn’t turn out perfect, it’s only for you and the more you practice the better and more organised it will become.
So, happy journaling! Have a look at the types of pages I’ve been doing for the next couple of months and let me know what types of pages you have gone for in your journal!
Do you want more bullet journal blogs? Let me know in the comments!
