I am surrounded by ‘creative types’; whether it’s friends I’ve made through fashion courses, aspiring writers/actresses/directors/photographers, amateur bakers constantly, so gifts to satisfy those with an active imagination and creative nature are something I’m constantly on the look-out for.

‘Wreck this Journal’ by Keri Smith is kind of an ‘anti-book’ – in fact, it’s more of a work book, with activities to do with the journal every day. The twist? As the name might suggest, most of the activities are intended to be destructive, bending, burning, throwing, drenching the journal beyond all recognition.

There are some rather strange pages throughout the book – I won’t ruin it for you by revealing too many of them – and they have to be completed in no particular order; some of the instructions are pretty vague, so it’s all open to interpretation, and is a complete dream for anyone who likes to get ‘stuck in’ to a project.

Overall, it’s just a fun concept for a quirky gift that anyone who likes to ‘mix mediums’ a little would love – I know I adore mine – and no two are ever the same, with so many activities and tasks for the reader to complete, so it really is the ‘gift that keeps on giving’.
