Those Five Star spiral notebooks that seem to be everywhere come back to school time kind of make us squirmy with boredom. Whether at work or at school, there are countless better ways to handle the notebook situation without looking like you’re still in grade school. These diamond-patterned books, for example, are rather grown-up looking. [$18-$26, Jayson]

#1 makes me feel like going down to the arcade for a game of Q-Bert.

A fountain pen and the feeling of writing on quality paper is a small luxury that gets me through classes and meetings when they turn utterly boring, pointless, or downright painful. But you can get a great notebook, with great paper inside, for less than $12. Paying $20 and even $50 for a notebook seems like a lot.

That being said, there are some things it’s really tough to find in combination: good paper, a non-spiral binding that lays flat, college ruled, ink doesn’t bleed through, great cover design… You pull all those into one notebook, I might give up coffees for a week to have one.

@hickster: now that you point it out, it does look like Q-bert. I had that game on my blackberry (but now have a new phone); I have no idea how I used to kick ass in it when I was little. Took me forever to refigure out how to play.
