Classy Leather Bags
Tree of Life Journal
Some gifts get used up. This one gets filled in. The Tree of Life Journal from Classy Leather Bags wears a vintage look, with a branching tree pressed into its leather cover, and it’s crafted by hand by artisans who clearly enjoy the old-fashioned way of doing things.
Open it and the pages are waiting for whatever comes next: lists, sketches, first-week notes, half-formed ideas at midnight.
Free to start. They get a beautiful gift page and pick their own shipping address.
Great for
Who it’s for
Why it makes a good gift
A blank journal is quietly optimistic. It says, “I think you’ve got a story worth writing down,” which is exactly the message you want to send someone at the start of something new.
- For the new hire: a welcome that has nothing to do with lanyards. It shows up in our new-hire welcome and onboarding guides for a reason.
- For the graduate or the career-changer: a congrats gift that will still be on their desk a year from now.
- For the writer or sketcher: a cover handsome enough to carry to a café and actually open in public.
Want to round out a desk setup? Pair it with something practical, like the Anker 523 Nano 3 charger, a pocket-size dual USB-C plug that can fast-charge a phone and tablet from one outlet. One gift for the head, one for the hustle.
About this product

Gift note ideas

- “For your sketches, your lists and all the big plans in between.”
Questions, answered
Is the Tree of Life Journal a good welcome gift for a new employee?
Yes. It’s personal without being too personal, and a fresh notebook fits naturally into a first week of meetings and new names. It suits a whole team, too, if you’re welcoming several people at once.
Can someone use it as a sketchbook instead of a diary?
Absolutely. Nothing about it says words only, and the brand’s own description calls out sketchers.
How is it different from a tech gift like an Anker charger?
A charger solves a daily problem; this journal marks a moment. If you want both, they make a thoughtful pair for someone setting up a new desk.
