An old standby of mine in college, Graphic Image's Desk Diary is a true classic, sewn together with such quality craftsmanship, beautifully formatted and is able to be personalized with your initials. The above crocodile embossed calfskin leather is a C&C favorite, however the desk diary also comes in other leather varieties, including python and pebble grain leather. It would make a fun and functional gift for the holiday. See here.
