Whether you’re a note-taker, a journal-keeper, an artist, or just a compulsive list-maker, here’s a clever way to organize all of those full notepads—and find new blank ones. Designers Esther Mun and Tina Chang of New York-based design firm Little Fury launched Start Here, a line of linkable notebooks. Each book is stain- and tear-resistant and waterproof, with a cover made from 100 percent recyclable synthetic paper and featuring an interior pocket that allows you to connect more notebooks by sliding the back cover of one book into the front cover of another. Each gift-worthy book contains 160 pages, available with lined or blank paper ($14 each) or as a combination with grid-printed sheets ($16). Accessories like 2008 planners ($18), colored tabs ($2 for five), and adhesive pockets ($5 for a set of three) are also available.
