Still trying to figure out what to give Dad for Father’s Day? Look no further as I’m going to introduce you to Rustico, a local Utah company offering a beautiful and unique gift perfect for June 17^th!

Isaac Childs started making leather-bound journals back in college simply because he “liked to write.” He wanted a book with a unique personality and classic look to hold ideas and experiences. Childs took techniques learned in bookbinding courses and then customized them until he had the perfect journal. The pages in most of Rustico’s sketchbooks, journals, and photo albums are hand torn. The paper is acid free yet has the unique texture of old fashioned paper presses. The leather covers are cut from top-grain hides and bound by hand to the paper with a binding style used for centuries.

I received a sample of the Travelers Journal“”beautifully engraved with my name””and the Golf Log. I have opened and reopened my Travelers Journal over and over again just to look at and touch the beautiful pages. I haven’t yet decided what this journal will contain but I know it’s going to be deep and thought-provoking. Even if it’s not filled with deep thoughts at least people will think it is just because of the quality and craftsmanship.

I haven’t forgotten about Father’s Day though I was distracted for a minute by thoughts of my Travelers Journal. If Dad’s a golfer he will absolutely love Rustico’s Golf Journal. At 3.25″ by 5″ this little book has pre-printed pages that will help keep track of everything from the course name, players, and the weather to the green fees, birdies, and lies (what the heck are those anyway?). And if Dad prefers fishing over golf, they even have a log for that!

On June 17^th give Dad something he will truly use and enjoy. I bet he’d rather receive a handcrafted, leather-bound excuse to golf than a new tie any day. But if you’d rather not give him an excuse to golf, you’ll definitely find something else from Rustico he will love. ““Emily
