List Lover

 

Hellooo my lovelies,

 I am a compulsive list maker, despite being the least organised person in the WORLD, I do try. I make lists for everything from blog posts I need to make, to uni work that I have to do and I always carry around a little note pad in my bag to jot things down that I remember whilst on the go. So when I discovered these cute little books in Urban Outfitters it was a must buy! Urban outfitters are actually really good in general for picking up cute little gifts and books so definitely one to keep an eye on!

 The first one I bought was 'Listography' and the idea of this book is that it states a topic at the top of the page and you write lists based on this. For example there is a page for 'Previous Lovers' and 'People You Love'  and I think it is such a cute concept because if you keep it over a long period of time, it will eventually build up to tell the story of your life. It's also quite a fun way to pass time and forces you to look back on happy/funny memories that you can have a laugh about. I actually really like going through it with my boyfriend, family and friends too because they can often remind me of things that I've forgotten about and I can write it down and then it's there forever! I also think it would be quite sweet if in twenty years time or whatever and your kids are looking through it, they can flick through and see what their mum was like in the 'olden days'. 

 Then for Christmas this year my lovely friend Nicky (who actually reads this blog so Hi Nicky!) bought me a second list book, this one being 'My Future Listography' which is more aimed towards planning your future. She kindly bought me this because she knows how much I love making lists and that I loved the other book a lot because I had shown her after I bought it. This one is probably my favourite of the two as it's like creating a check list for things to do in your future and you can check them off after you've hopefully achieved them. The Future Listography book contains things like 'Beaches to visit', 'Countries to visit', 'Present's I'd like to receive' and 'Hobbies and Activities to try'. It'll be lovely to look back on later in life and see what you've actually managed to achieve and what you need to make an effort to make happen. 

  Each page has a cute picture to give you a guide as to how to answer/what to put down on your lists. As you can see I haven't completed all pages in mine yet but I've taken a picture of a few pages that I have and haven't done for you, to show how it can let you know quite a lot about someone and to show you what it looked like without my scribbles all over it. I also think this would make a great sweet little gift especially for someone who likes making lists or being organised. I know my mum bought quite a few people these for Christmas after I showed her mine!

 Have you come across these books before? What do you think of them?

Lots of love,
