Personalised anything is the name of the game for pretty gifts around here.
I made these notepads for my daughters friends recently.
They're so easy, and when you consider what you pay for personalised notepads even online, they're eye poppingly inexpensive.

Just print a picture or graphic you think they'd like onto 50 or so sheets of A4 paper. Cut the paper in halves or quarters if you like a more compact notepad.
Clamp the pile of paper to the edge of a table or desk or workbench with a D Clamp, and smear the facing edge (what will be the spine of the notebook) liberally, with Aquadhere...a sort of gummy hardware glue.
Allow the gummy glue to dry overnight, then remove the clamp.
Ta-Da!
Customised notebooks. Who knew? Easy, right?
Let your imagination run riot and use wedding photos, baby photos, a hand drawn graphic which can then be scanned, holiday memories and so on.
Use pastel coloured paper or use stamps and clear stamping ink to give a watermarked effect.
Do ahead of time, and store in a shoebox with scented sachets, and you have scented notepaper!
A pretty gift for very little effort.
