Dingbats Notebook Earth Collection 100gsm bullet journal first look

I share my thoughts of the Dingbats notebook as I unbox it. First impressions are that this is a very nice journal. I've used a 100gsm journal before (the Tekukor), so I'm curious whether it's similar in terms of ghosting and bleedthrough of pens.
There will be a full review coming that will cover company information, packaging, features, markings and paper of the journal, and a pen test, along with a discussion regarding environmental and social responsibility.

Oh! One for my wish list. 😉 Looking forward to your review of it.

Coming soon! I have it scheduled for the 30 March 💚

Me too! Looking forward to see the review. Although, I've already made up my mind and bought my first dingbats notebook, there was a discount and couldn't resist the purple colour of the one with the hipopotamus on the cover 💜 I'm a bit scared about how thin the paper is, my current journal is 160 and the previous one was 180... so, not sure how I will be dealing with this one. I would love to see your video! 😻

I don't think you're going to go too wrong. I tend to use a lighter paper journal every now and then because it's got a much more rewarding feel once you've written in it, a kind of crinkly used feeling. 160gsm journals feel stiff and perfect, and that's not how my journals should feel after I'm done with them!!!

I’ve been using a Dingbats journal for a while now. No complaints except for the cream pages! Sticking in any stickers with white borders, or photos with white borders, just looks weird, but I’ve made myself get over it.

Yeah I'll have a look at that when I review it. It's the darkest cream I've seen in any journal - very unusual. Stickers would be tricky - I suppose you'd have to stick to the thinner washi tape style ones... Bit like using stickers in coloured or black paper journals, unless you're lucky enough to get matching ones. I love using stickers, so it's a big consideration!
