2 Memo Blocks - Mix & Match

The newest addition to our stationery range, these square memo blocks are a great little sidekick.  

Each of these notepads has 100 tear-off sheets of recycled paper per pad, which are lightly glued together along the top edge.  As with all my products, functionality is as equally important as the look and these notepads have an ever-so-slightly transparent central panel so you can still faintly see the pattern underneath, but also clearly read what’s been written.  It's also printed on the same 100gsm recycled paper as all the other pads so is beautifully smooth paper to write on and can easily cope with inky fountain pens or highlighters.  All of which makes it perfect for those quick notes or last minute shopping lists writing, and due to it's size it's compact and convenient to live on desks, by phones and on kitchen benches. 

The Memo Block will arrive with a belly band around it to keep the pages together, and a Holchester Designs stamp on the reverse of the card.

Each design has started life as a hand-drawn sketch - either in my sketch book or straight onto my iPad - and I've then digitally turned them into repeat patterns and adjusted them for the various stationery items they're on. This also means that each pattern has some other matching items available too, so you could make a bigger gift set out of them as well.  And if you're looking for a per-made gift-set don't forget to look at the Gift Set section where there's something for everyone (and every budget). 

Orders can take up to 4 working days to process, but if you need it quicker let me know and I’ll do what I can to get it out sooner.

I want my products to leave as little a mark on the planet as possible. And with this in mind all my products are:

Made in the UK by manufacturers who all source their materials, manage their materials and deal with their waste responsibly. 

1 tree is planted for every order in partnership with Ecologi.

All packaging is plastic free, from tags and belly bands to postal packaging, and where possibly is also used multiple times. 

If your item does come covered, it’s in a biodegradable cellophane which will naturally decompose but also keeps your paper looking crisp on it’s travels. 

You can read more about my attempt to be as sustainable a business as possible in this blog post. 

All orders are processed within 3-5 working days and standard postage is via Royal Mail Tracked 48. 

All items are sent plastic free and in some cases the postal packaging you receive may have been used before.  Wherever possible I do recycle packaging, but I do check it’s in good enough condition to protect your items before it’s used.  I don’t, however, think it’s right to say I'm all about being sustainable and then use totally fresh postal packaging for every order. 

For all non-personalised items we accept returns up to 14 days after delivery, as long as the item is unused and in its original condition.

Do you make everything yourself? 

All the designs you see on my products are the results of my own original hand-drawn artwork which in turn I transform digitally into repeat patterns.  The physical products are then printed/made/sewn by specialist manufacturers from around the UK. 

Do you use AI in your designs?

AI (Artificial intelligence) is not used at any stage of my creative process. 

As a small business who uses lots of different tools, it’s impossible to avoid AI altogether in the running of my business, but my creative process is absolutely where I draw the line.  You can read more about my thoughts on AI, and how it is involved in other areas of my business, in this blog post. 

Do you take wholesale orders?

Absolutely I do - it’s my favourite way of getting my stationery out into the world! You can find more information on the wholesale page of my website.
