Three objects for three kinds of people (you know which ones).

There is a particular kind of person who keeps recipes. Not in their phone, not on the back of their council rates bill they will certainly lose, but in a proper book with tabbed sections and space for notes like "more garlic next time" or "never again." The Moleskine Recipe Journal has 400 pages and arrives in a box. It is, perhaps, the beginning of an heirloom.

There is also a particular kind of person who drinks wine and wants to remember it. The Wine Journal offers structured pages for varietals, vintages, and the sort of tasting notes that make one feel like a serious person. It also arrives in a box.

And then there is the person who writes by hand. Or wants to. Or used to. The Lamy Fountain Pen Set contains a fountain pen, a glass bottle of ink, a converter, and five cartridges. It was made in Germany by people who have been making pens since 1930. The charcoal colourway is understated. The nib is tested at the factory. There is also a yellow version.

You probably know which of your people belongs to which gift.
