Stocking Stuffers / Fillers for Older Kids

December 2, 2014

To help make your Christmas shopping easier we thought we’d put our best-selling notebooks for older Kids all in one place (similar blog post for younger children coming soon), so here goes…

At number 1 it’s Geek Glasses and Mustaches (also available with the spelling Moustaches). The nine to twelve year-olds just can’t get enough of nerd glasses and silly mustaches at the moment.

Number 2 is one of our old and trusted favorites, the Top Secret notebook (with Keep Out! written on the ...

Small Wine Journals for Different Palates

November 28, 2014

Below are some of the latest additions to our range of notebooks … two small wine journals entitled 'Wine Notes' and 'Wine Notes & Ramblings'. The two cover designs are very different. One is a close up of a wine bottle complete with the classic anecdote “wine improves with age … the older I get, the better I like it!” and the other is a more contemporary design full of wine related words.

Wine notes and ramblings notebook with lots of wine-related words and phrases in the cover design

Why Trust Us?

November 6, 2014

One of the difficulties of shopping online is that you can’t see and touch the product. One solution that we all use to solve it is to stick to brands that we’ve heard of and trust. smART bookx has only be around for a year and it’s unlikely that you have heard of us yet, so why should you trust us? After all, there are a few cowboys out there selling poor quality stationery at over inflated prices (think paper so thin you can see through it). We are confident of the high quality of o...

New Gift Notebooks for Sisters & Grandmas

November 4, 2014

Our ‘Best in the World’ series of notebooks is growing! The 'Best Mom in the World' and 'Best Dad in the World' notebooks proved so popular this year that we thought we’d add sisters and grandmas to the list in time for Christmas. Take a look…

Strangely, the phrase “Sister Gifts” gets searched in Google ~3600 times a month whereas “Brother Gifts” only gets ~390 searches. That’s a huge difference. There must be pretty much equal numbers of brothers and sisters out there?? ...

Mad About Tartan

November 2, 2014

Boy are we in love with tartan. Our traditional red Stewart Plaid design has consistently been one of our most popular notebooks (left below) and one of our most popular kids stationery items is a really cute fairy in a tartan dress.

With this in mind we thought it was time that we offered a little more Scottish choice, so we have come up with two fab new tartan designs in the run up to the Christmas gift shopping season.

Purple Tartan Notebook
Purple is far and away the most popular shade ...

What have Halloween and Panda Bears got in Common?

October 7, 2014

Well not a lot really, except that we designed a really cute panda bear gift notebook for kids in September and we were so pleased with it that we thought a similar notebook as a Halloween Gift Idea for Kids would work too. A kind of spin off packed full of witches, wizards, ghosts and ghouls. They’re both search-and-find style designs so would make great gifts for younger children.

The Halloween one (USA link) has witches, wizards, bats, cats, moons, stars, owls, pumpkins and footprints. ...

Why are Our Journals so Cheap? / A Unique Business Model - Here’s How it Works

October 5, 2014

Have you ever heard of Zazzle, Café Press or Spreadshirt? They’re websites where you’ll get a choice of 1000s of notebook designs, but average prices, including shipping, will be $18+. Wow, that’s not cheap! It's a lot for something that 9 times out of 10 is ultimately a disposable item (most of us don’t keep notebooks more than a couple of years). Our notebooks are high quality but cost under $10 plus Amazon Shipping.

The business models of Zazzle and the likes are actually similar ...
