Can anyone help me find a notebook

I know I am probably being very fussy but I am looking for an A4 lined notebook with a ‘nice’ cover. I am happy to pay up to £20 but just can’t seem to find any that I like. Can anyone help??

I love Paperblanks. They are usually quite expensive but you can find them cheaper in TK Maxx

Love mine.. bought from Ebay.
Always buy myself a new notebook and calendar for every new year.
See photo.
My calendar is retro ( nothing like this lol).

I was tempted to buy an A4 lined notebook from Tesco - it had a navy cover with small autumn leaves on 🍁🍂

Home sense also have nice/unusual ones.

Bookbinding or spiral binding? Does it need to lay flat? Any idea of thickness of paper? What kind of cover - paper, cloth? Do you want a picture, pattern or just nice colour on the cover?

habitat in Sainsbury’s often have nice notebooks

Keepingmecalm · 04/01/2026 23:12

@ElizabethsTailor probably spiral binding but happy to do either. Would love a lovely front cover if possible. Lots are either not actually a4 size or the covers are not right. I know I am being very picky!

Ideally thicker paper so the pen doesn’t bleed through.

Have looked at the Paper blank ones. There are only a few that are A4 and some don’t have many pages. Will keep looking though.

Waterstones do some nice ones but I'm not sure if they do A4 size though.

MrsSkylerWhite · 04/01/2026 23:18

TKMaxx has lots of lovely notebooks.

Tesco

Papier do lovely notebooks & they have a sale on right now.

Talisin · 04/01/2026 23:26

Etsy is good for this sort of thing. This for example.

HollyGolightly4 · 04/01/2026 23:29

Waterstones! They do A4 ones

JemimaTab · 04/01/2026 23:30

The Rettacy A4 lined notebooks you can get from Amazon are nice - I use them a lot. They’re spiral bound and have nice thick paper, also lots of pages. The covers aren’t really fancy though, although they come in lots of colours.
