Personalize Your Leuchtturm1917 Journals For Free In National Book Store

By Milastolemyheart

National Bookstore had been known to bring to us products of great quality. That's why when I got my eyes and hands on the Leuchtturm1917 journals during last week's Personalize Your Leuchtturm1917 Journals popup event, I was not surprised with how great these notebooks are.
Leuchtturm1917 (pronounced as 'loyshterm', which is German for lighthouse) has been known in the production of stationery in Germany for over 90 years. Even before you get near the Leuchtturm1917 display, you would already get attracted by the great vibrant colors they have - all 17 of them. I got a black one for my first. I know I will be back for the pink, yellow, purple, and teal. Or maybe all of them. Each journal comes with a unique contents page & page numbers. Great for when you want to easily go back to that specific part of your memory. As a former librarian, I love this feature a lot. Also, the journals have non-bleeding paper that feels luxurious to the touch. You can doodle as much as you want, or even practice your ink calligraphy with no worries because it's ink proof and acid free Your notes can remain for a very long time, without fading or having pages turn yellow. Additional features include perforated pages, a bookmark, an inside cover pocket and stickers for archiving and labeling. Leuchtturm1917 journals are perfect for busy moms like myself who need to record and recall inspirations and ideas, things to do, commitments, and appointments.
“To me, reading through old letters and journals is like treasure hunting. Somewhere in those faded, handwritten lines there is a story that has been packed away in a dusty old box for years.”
Sara Sheridan

17 colors to choose from. different sizes and styles. equally colorful pen loops (purchased separately) to match your journal, or get contrasting color for that extra pop of style


Leuchtturn1917 journals use premium papers and has unique table of content and pagination.

doodle your heart out. use fountain pen or colored markers. your masterpiece will be safe.

During the event, we got to enjoy making our own rubber stamps and practice brush calligraphy. I had so much fun and I am so proud of my first "Mila" stamp, I want to frame it. Haha. Never mind my calligraphy skills though. I need hundreds of hours of practice, at least. Thanks to the nice ladies of CraftMNL, I learned another craft skill.

While guests were still enjoying the crafts table, I was off to have my first, but definitely not the last, Leuchtturm1917 journal personalize. Leo Everaert, Leuchtturm1917’s international sales director,was in Manila to grace this event. He brought with him the embossing machine that allows Leuchtturm1917 Journal owners to personalize their notebooks. He was even the one who did the layout for my request. I will hold off posting a photo of the journal he made for me because it will be given as a gift. Here's other samples though.

add your name, twitter handle, website, or even the title of your journal.
choose from white, gold, silver, and black prints for this one font.

you can request as much as 3 lines printed on the notebooks, just like what I did
