Elan Publishing CompanyAssorted Pattern Field Memo Notebooks, 3.5x5.5 in Ruled Lined Office Notepads for Nurses, Teachers, and Students, Small and Easy to Carry Pocketbook, Quick Note Taking, 5 Pack

These notebooks (3.5" x 5.5" size) were a last-minute purchase before a 16-day coach tour of Ireland/Scotland. On previous trips I had wondered if something like this might work better than writing notes on scraps of paper and keeping trip info on papers stored in my backpack. I wanted something small and pretty that would fit easily in my purse (and put it in a ziploc bag to keep it clean). Prior to leaving, I xeroxed my itinerary, which included information on each day's activities (airline info, a mini-map, hotel, places we'd be stopping) and taped each day's info at the start of a 2-page spread. Throughout the trip, I could quickly refer to the day's information. I used the lined pages to write things I wished to remember (such when we needed to be back on the bus, when/where dinner was, when luggage was to be outside room, hotel wifi password) as well as little bits of information, funny things the guides said, notes on what to bring on future trips, etc. I have to say using this notebook far exceeded my expectations. As fellow tour passengers wondered things, I could pull out my notebook with the answers. As I look back on the notebook now that I've returned, I am so grateful to have it. There are so many things I wrote down that at the time I was sure I'd remember but now realize I have already forgotten. I can see many more great uses for these, and definitely I will take one on any future trip! It's a wonderful compact remembrance of a wonderful time.

I carry these in my purse and car I love having a cute little notebook to write things in.

I love throwing these little notebook in my purse when i need them

Perfect pocket books for my clinicals.

I purchased these to put in a gift basket for my OB nurses. I wanted a variety of small items and thought these would be good. These are smaller notebooks and would be good for notes, a journal, or to keep in your purse. The colors are nice and vibrant. Overall, I really liked these and would purchase again for myself or as another gift.

I wanted to get away from using my phone for everything and purchased these little notebooks to keep my weekly and daily schedules as well as shopping lists, to do lists, etc. I still keep my master calendar on my phone but transfer appointments to my notebook at the beginning of each week. This notebook fits nicely into my purse pocket. I tear out the pages I don’t need any more so it’s easy to find more current schedules and lists. I use the notebooks from both the front (for my schedule) and the back (for my lists). When I get to middle, it’s time to start a new notebook. Since all the covers are different, I get to choose a new design!

gave them out to friends - they loved them

It is the perfect size to keep in your purse and it makes a great gift or stocking stuffer, a give-away to include in a conference bag for note taking.

Beautiful patterns and thick covers. Lovely notebooks. They're thinner than I thought i.e. fewer pages. The description said 24 sheets per booklet but it's 12 (stapled in the middle and folded to make a notebook). I like them enough to keep them anyway but will fill them faster than expected.

Right size, fits it scrubs pocket.

5 little ruled notebooks with flowery patterns on them. Simply nice. :)
