To make a long story short when graphic designer and entrepreneur Aaron Draplin made the very first Field Notes by hand, as a holiday gift for friends, they looked like these notebooks. When the Field Notes company started, they had only one product, a 3-Pack of Kraft Memo Books with graph paper inside, like these.
Its kind of beautiful that the idea for these was inspired by making a holiday gift for friends, isn't it? I think so.
Why not consider gifting a little notebook to a friend? Write them a note inside. Tell them why you love them.
Gift them a place to keep their ideas.
