FOCUS DAY 2 Pack A5 Journal Notebook – Faux Leather, 100gsm, 2 × A5, 14.5 x 21.3 cm, Green & Black

What it is

The FOCUS DAY 2 Pack is a pair of A5 hardback journals featuring a faux leather cover, 100gsm ruled paper, and a sturdy double‑glued binding. Each notebook measures 14.5 × 21.3 cm and offers 160 lined pages, giving you a total of 320 pages across the two books. The design emphasises portability and durability for everyday office, school, or personal use.

What stands out

On the paper front, 100gsm ivory white pages are thicker than standard notepads, which helps prevent ink bleed for many common pens. The 7mm ruled lines provide a familiar college‑ruled feel, while the lay‑flat, 180° design makes writing comfortable for both right‑ and left‑handed users. Practical touches include a pen loop, ribbon bookmark, inner pocket, elastic closure, and an index label sticker for organisation.

Who it’s for

This set suits students, professionals, and lifelong planners who want a durable, mid‑range notebook for study notes, daily journaling, or project planning. The faux leather cover adds a touch of sturdiness without the weight of genuine leather, making it a sensible option for daily carry.

What to watch for (limitations & considerations)

• The stationery emphasis is on lined writing, if you need grid or dot layouts, this won’t be ideal.
• While the pages are marked as bleed‑proof for many pens, heavy gel inks or markers may still feather on cheaper nibs, test your favourites if you have very demanding paper needs.
• The two‑pack approach is convenient for splitting purposes (e.g., work vs. personal), but you’ll want to keep track of two separate notebooks rather than one large planner.

Buying considerations: when it makes sense

If you prioritise a sturdy feel, practical extras (pen loop, elastic, pocket), and a reasonable page count in a portable A5 size, this set offers solid value for money. It’s particularly sensible when you want a reliable notebook for day‑to‑day notes, study planning, or travel journalling, at a sensible mid‑range price point. It may not be the best option if you require premium leather, heavyweight paper for markers, or a formal, single‑volume journal.

What to check before buying

• Confirm that A5 (14.5 × 21.3 cm) suits your preferred note‑taking size.
• If you write heavily with markers or gel pens, consider whether the 100gsm paper meets your bleed resistance needs.
• Consider how you’ll use the two notebooks: will you align one for work and one for personal use, or allocate by subject?

Practical use example

Imagine a busy week of meetings and lectures: one notebook stays in your bag for quick notes on the go, the other sits on your desk for longer, more reflective journaling. The lay‑flat design makes paragraph writing easier on both sides of the page, and the elastic closure keeps your notes protected between hops from meeting to class.

What’s included

Each pack contains 2 x A5 journals with the features described above, plus a multi‑colour index label sticker to help you organise topics or sections.

FAQ

• Do the pages bleed through with standard ballpoint pens? The 100gsm paper is designed to minimise bleed for most pens, but bleed can occur with certain inks.
• Is the cover hardwearing enough for daily carry? The hardback with a faux leather finish offers decent durability for routine use, though it is not premium leather.
• Can I lay the notebook flat to write? Yes, the 180° lay‑flat design supports easy writing from both hands.

Is it worth it?

Worth considering if you want a paired, durable A5 notebook with practical features and a mid‑range price point. It suits everyday writing, planning, and journaling, especially for users who value organisation aids and portability. You may want to skip it if you require premium materials or specialised formats.
