I know there are other present idea threads, lots of them. But nothing I need exactly.
What I am looking for is somewhere I can post a vague idea of what someone would like and see if anyone has any specific ideas. Hope this is an okay thread to start.
Basically my gran has been searching for a small address book for ages now. I guess they must have stopped making these so much, now that "everyone" has mobiles that store everything.
She would like a really small but good quality address book. Not a diary or a filofax. Just for addresses. Anyone any ideas?
And I think this would be a nice idea to start. So if you are near a present but not quite there please post!

You can get them in the Works if you have one nearby, and Wilkinsons also have them.0

Thanks. I would prefer online it at all possible (should have stated that in my request). And that is why I would like a specific recc if anyone has one, as you can't look so well online. But my nearest "The Works" is 4 hours away, and Wilkinsons 8 hours

Paperchase do some really pretty ones...I was in having a browse the other day and I saw them and wished I knew someone who would find them useful because I thought they would make good gifts.

I agree with Paperchase. Had a look at the various note books and address books the other day and with just about everything in Paperchase the quality was very good.March 2014 Grocery challenge £250.000

I ordered this one from KTwo products last year:
https://www.ktwoproducts.com/products/47_address_books
It is smaller than I expected and therefore probably just the sort of thing that you are looking for. Also, I love the fact that it has stickers so that you can change people's details when they move as I hate having to scribble out an address in my book. Down to £3.99 from £6.99 now too...I'll see if I can find a free delivery code....nope sorry but free postage over a tenner so maybe you'll find something else you fancy too!!Make £2012 in 2012 member #88
To date: £1794.69 / £20120
