These nifty notepads encourage you to always be prepared for when something needs to be written down. You never know when an idea or inspiration may present itself and there's nothing worse (there are probably a lot of things worse) than discovering you have no way of preserving that gem until it can be polished. It's hard to always remember to keep a notebook or memo pad with you at all times, especially with all the other accessories you need to worry about -- wallet, keys, jewelry, glasses; however, these intriguing adaptations of the office staple make it fun and easy to carry around a fashion-savvy preserver of thoughts.
Whether you're looking for something practical like a memo pad for your shower, or a stylish, Sci-Fi themed notebook, you're bound to find something that appeals to the uniqueness of your personality and your need to jot down to-do lists, ideas and of course, that special number you worked so hard to get.
