Archer and Olive are my favourite notebooks to use for bullet journaling. the paper quality and thoughtful finishing touches are second t o none. I've only had the fabric cover notebooks before. The leather of this one makes the spine stiff and means the notebook doesn't lay flat. It makes it super difficult to draw my weeks and write in. it will be ok in the centre of the book but makes each end troublesome. you can put another book under it to boost it up but that just adds another step and clutter to my desk.
I'm gradually building my collection of these handy little stamp pads (ten colours and counting). I use lettering stamps in my bullet journal spreads every week and I like to co-ordinate them with the stickers and washi tape I have chosen for that theme. So these stamp pads are perfect. They are affordable, with a good colour range, and small enough that a growing collection doesn't take up too much space (and they are stackable and have little stand-up feet so you can store them a number of ways). The shape is also helpful - the point allows them to be used to fill stencils or even for precision-inking different parts of a stamp in multiple colours. I love them so much I'm about to order several more :)
Bought an beautiful square dotted grid journal and it's absolutely stunning! The pages are thick and luxurious, the cover is hardback and wonderfully illustrated in a snowflake design. Quite literally the best journal I've ever bought.
