Designed for writers, journalers, list-makers, daydreamers, and people with approximately seventeen thoughts happening at once.
Our A5 journals turn everyday scribbles into something worth romanticising. Available in lined, dotted, and blank page layouts, each journal is finished with luxe foiling details and paper so lovely you’ll suddenly feel the urge to get your life together for at least twenty minutes.
With thick 160GSM pages, these journals are made for journaling, planning, sketching, note-taking, and documenting whatever strange little era you’re currently living through.
Due to the delicate nature of the material used for the foiling, the foil can tarnish after rigorous and frequent use. We encourage you to be super gentle with our foiled items, keep them away from contact with any moisture and to expect natural tarnishing over time.

Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 4.9 / 5 from 47 reviews.
I honestly wish I had caved and bought one of these sooner. It is one of the most visually stunning journals I have ever laid eyes on and the quality is immaculate. It's not one of those cheapy acrylic layover journals where the shiny stuff peels off. It's actual inlaid design that despite me using it everyday for 3 weeks now has not shown ANY signs of wear. I also bought one of their pens and oh my God I've never had a pen write so smoothly in my LIFE. I will absolutely be a repeat customer
Absolutely gorgeous book! I hadn't seen any reviews from a bullet journaler's perspective so I figured I'd give a comprehensive review:
First off, things you can't see in the product photos: the gilded page edges are gold, and the ribbon is red. Ribbon color doesn't exactly match the rest of the book (it's more geared towards the red/black colorway) but it's still nice. There is one ribbon bookmark and not two, which I understand is typical for this brand. (I make heavy use of two bookmarks, so I just bought the matching bookmark to supplement the ribbon one.)
I got the dot grid version, and while it claims to have 180 pages, 2 of those (the first and last page) are blank and not dotted, so really it's 178 dotted pages. Which is still more than an industry standard 160/176, just be aware!
The A5 dot grid paper in this is not industry standard but something unique to Quirky Cup. The dot grid is very slightly smaller (somewhere between 4-5mm I believe) and extends further to the edges of the paper (smaller white margins) than a standard bullet journal. There are also just more of them - a typical bujo is 26x38 squares, and this one is 30x40. The printing also extends closer to the edges of the page so keep that in mind when planning your layouts! The dot grid is faint and lovely, not too dark at all (which I've heard was previously an issue with some older releases).
The paper itself is also not true white but a slightly warmer white, not quite cream but just enough to add a rustic touch. I've attached an image comparing it to typical bujo paper from another popular brand. I like the paper color on this one!
I'm giving this 4 stars only because while the paper is thick and does not bleed (even three layers of highlighter did not bleed through!), typical writing, even with a Quirky Cup pen, does ghost noticeably. (An image of ghosting through my pen test is attached to this review.) For a book at this price point and 160 gsm I would expect no ghosting with a regular ballpoint or gel pen. It's also missing an elastic strap to hold it shut or any kind of pocket folder, but thankfully the latter is easy to DIY by sacrificing a couple pages and they make accessories for the former on Amazon/Etsy (but I would totally buy a cute matching Quirky Cup book elastic).
I also got the matching bookmark, pen and washi tape set and everything is absolutely gorgeous! I'm really looking forward to setting up my new bujo for 2026 in this notebook!! 💖
Beautiful hard cover with impeccable attention to detail. Pages are sturdy and don’t bleed through. I am so excited to fill this entire book and have it proudly displayed on my shelf
I bought a journal, a bookmark and 2 pens for a Christmas present. They are everything I was looking for, and more. Each item is absolutely stunning and I will not hesitate to buy from them in the furure
Loved the new serpents and swords blue journal, the colour and design are superb and very beautiful. Along with my other journals, writing has been more fun and enjoyable
One of the loveliest journals I've ever bought! The cover is amazing and the paper is so nice and thick, easy to write on. I came across The Quirky Cup Collective by chance and the stars were certainly in my favor that day. I love this journal so much I decided to buy more, that's how much of an amazing product I think of it!
I love buying journals from you guys so much. And will continue to do so. Thank you so much, they are absolutely beautiful. I have recommended you guys to my mum, my sister and my aunt all the time. And also some of my friends.
Cheers, Jack.
The journal is exactly what I wanted. It is absolutely stunning, and it is making it a lot easier to develop my journaling habit. I am going to save a little more so I can get a book sleeve soon.
Arrived very quickly and I'm very happy with the quality of this journal. It's exactly as described with no imperfections and I can't wait to start writing and drawing and making it mine.
These journals are by far the best I have ever used . They don’t flare when using for scrapbooking and you can use every page to stick things on and they remain in their shape . Absolutely adore them and always looking for new designs and sales ….. keep up the gorgeous designs - more pretty pastels please ❤️
