Great Dane Notebooks & Journal Gifts: For a Life That Runs on Lists

There's a list on the back of an envelope somewhere in this house right now. There's always a list on the back of an envelope somewhere in this house. Food. Vet. Who's turn to walk Angus...

Sharing a house with a Great Dane turns you into a person who writes things down, largely because there's a lot to keep track of and most of it involves a dog who takes up roughly a third of every room she's in. The booster jabs. How much food is left in the bin before it becomes an actual emergency. Whether the sofa currently has room for a human as well.

This isn't glamorous. It is, however, extremely real, and we thought it deserved somewhere better than an envelope.

A notebook that says the quiet part out loud

The Things My Great Dane Wants Me to Remember notebook is a proper hardback journal — for actual lists, actual meetings, actual life — that just happens to say what every owner is already privately thinking, right there on the cover.

One for the desk rather than the display shelf

If you'd rather your notebook looked less like a to do list and more like it belongs on a proper desk, the British Heritage hardback journal takes the country-house route instead — rolling fields, a moody sky, a Land Rover that's clearly done a few laps of a farm track — available in both blue and fawn to suit whichever colour Dane you're buying for.

One that covers every colour, for gifts

And if you're shopping for someone else's Dane and genuinely aren't sure whether they've got a fawn, blue, harlequin or something else entirely, the striped design has all of them — six coat colours across the cover, so there's no wrong answer. The full range is in the Great Dane stationery collection.

They won't actually do the remembering for you. That part's still down to you, dog and all. But at least now there's a decent place to write it down before it ends up lost between a takeaway menu and a card that was meant to be posted three weeks ago.
