Each notebook combines glossy and matte varnishes to recreate the appearance and tactile feel of a paleta, with the collection divided into three themed three-packs featuring flavors including Chicle, Sandía, Piña, Jamaica, Limón, Coco, and [Mango con Chamoy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/edible-and-tajin). An illustrated backing card by artist Atlan Arceo-Witzl accompanies each set. Each of the notebook contains 48 pages of cream-colored dot-grid paper printed with soy-based inks for writing, sketching, planning, or journaling. The three-packs retail for $14.95 each, while subscribers receive all nine notebook designs, free U.S. shipping, a 10% site discount, and a 2026 subscriber box designed by Jennifer Farrell of Starshaped Press.
