A gift for someone who writes
The A5 journal, boxed and ready to hand over, with a hand-written note if you want one.
$135 AUD
Free shipping within Australia. Send it straight to them if you like.
Bark or Slate
The journal
Cloth-bound, sewn so it opens flat, and bound in Melbourne. One page for the day and one for reflection. No prompts, no trackers, no boxes to fill in. It asks nothing of the person who receives it except to write.
Slate is a deep, cool charcoal. Bark is a deep oxblood, warmer in the hand.
Full specifications are on the journal page.
How it arrives
Boxed and banded. Inside, the journal sits under a honeycomb wrap with a printed quote card alongside it. It is made to be handed over as it is, without a bag or a ribbon or anything else to buy.
Add their address at checkout and it goes straight to them. Nothing in the box shows what it cost. The receipt comes to you by email.
The note
There is a field at checkout for a message. It is written by hand on a card, in ink, and placed inside the box with the journal. Not printed. Written.
Who it suits
Someone who reaches for paper before a screen. Someone rebuilding a habit, starting one, or quietly keeping one already.
If they have ever finished a notebook and kept it, this is the right thing.

I was gifted this beautiful notebook and have been using it to record my grandmothers story because I want it to stand the test of time. I absolutely love it and know it will be a notebook I’ll have as a keepsake forever

Amazing quality! I was looking for a journal that felt really well-made, and I’m so glad I came across this one from be.still. It’s so easy and comfortable to write in, and the pages lay beautifully flat. At first, I wasn’t sure about the price, but now I completely understand what I’m paying for - the quality is definitely there! Another big plus is that it’s Melbourne made ❤️

Arrived beautifully packaged, and the journal itself is even better. I went for Slate, which is such a lovely, understated colour. I've gone through so many notebooks over the years, but this is the first one I can actually imagine finishing.
