An Opportunity to Rediscover the Art of Writing
Bark & Rock handmade journals
A gift idea we’re particularly keen to put in this year’s guide is the Bark & Rock handmade journals. Eventually, we all have to say goodbye to a loved one, but how much do you really know about their life? Usually, with families, you know very little about your parents’ friends, childhood memories, favourite things and places and it’s only part pieced together after they’re gone.
Memories are amazing; it just takes something obscure to trigger a rush of happy times that haven’t been accessed for decades, this is why we believe the recording of memories and experiences is so important. These memories are beyond value, and you need something special to keep them in. This is where a Bark & Rock handmade journal comes in.
Our personal preference is the Walnut Burr edition as it is such a classic look with and looks luxurious. It is a B5 size and as with all the Bark & Rock journals takes a craftsman four days to make from start to finish. But, there are so many styles to choose from, you’re guaranteed to find one to suit Dad’s personality.
Each made to order book can come with either journal, plain or lined FSC certified paper, and it lasts a lifetime with the choice to buy refill pages.
Prices for the refillable journal start at £300. For more details, see www.barkandrock.com.
