Paradise Notepad Gift Set

The perfect little gift set for a letterbox gift, stationery-loving colleague, to say thanks to a teacher or even to put in for an office Secret Santa.  This set combines the two most popular notepad sizes - A5 and a List pad - and combined together is an elegant and unique stationery gift set. 

The Paradise pattern is inspired by the wide range of bright colours seen on Birds of Paradise.  Each bird has been drawn by hand, before being scanned in to the computer and digitised in order to create a repeat pattern which is used across the many items in the collection. 

This set includes one A5 notepad, and one List pad, both of which are on 100gsm recycled paper and printed with vegetable oil based inks.  Each pad has 50 sheets, and are both glued together along their narrower top edge, although they’re very easy to tear off as you need to. Both pads have a ever-so-slightly transparent central panel so you can still see the pattern underneath, but only faintly so anything you write is also easy to read.  

Each notepad is individually wrapped with a paper belly band and they'll be wrapped together in Holchester Designs recycled paper wrapping paper inside a postage box. These small sets do make perfect gifts as they fit easily within a letterbox friendly box and so if you would like them fully gift wrapped, and a handwritten note included so it can be sent directly to the recipient, you can select gift wrapping and leave the message during the checkout process.

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.  

(*Wherever possible orders will be processed and dispatched much quicker as capacity allows.)

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.
