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.
Look Up! Look Down!
I'm making a point to watch more classic flicks, and that includes Thunderball, the fourth film in the James Bond series released in 1965. Although I can't exactly relate to Bond's smooth spy tactics, I can relate to the dreamy landscape, the full-figured female physiques, and just love the jet-set wardrobes, cocktail couture and lost notions of allure and romance...it's good to be Bond.
