Rhodia Webnotebook A5 Dot Grid Journal (118769)
₹1,899
90 GSM Clairefontaine paper is the entire reason to buy this over any other A5 notebook, and it is the specification neither this nor its main rival prints on the cover: at 90 GSM fountain and gel ink do not bleed through, so both sides of every page are usable.
Full details →Who the Brother P-touch PTH110 Easy Portable Label Maker is for
Buy it if: Anyone labelling things that get handled, wet or sunlit, where unlaminated tape fails.
Avoid it if: Anyone making a handful of labels -- the tape economics do not justify the machine.
Who the Rhodia Webnotebook A5 Dot Grid Journal is for
Buy it if: Anyone writing with a fountain pen or wet gel ink who wants to use both sides of the page.
Avoid it if: Anyone who only writes in ballpoint -- the paper premium buys nothing then.
