If one of your new years resolutions is keeping a diary you should definitely check out the notebooks of About Blanks. They reuse beautiful old books and turn them in new note- and sketchbooks.
I really love their philosophy:
"It
is very important to be aware of the things that surround us. The
shortage of raw materials in contemporary society forces us to become
more creative with the already existing materials. About Blanks is about
using those already existing materials in order to create new
combinations, inspired by what happens in the world around us. That is
exactly what happens inside our About Blanks books – new ideas come to
life! Every About Blanks book is unique and is crafted by hand. That is
what makes them so special. Every book is one of a kind. The covers are
made of reused covers and the inner part is made of paper from
responsible sources (FSC)."
