With the holiday season approaching, there’s no better time to consider the gift of journaling—a practice known for its significant physical and emotional health benefits. Studies have shown that setting aside time to journal about our thoughts and feelings can reduce stress, enhance mindfulness, and even lessen the likelihood of taking sick days (Sohal, Singh, Dhillon & Gill, 2022).

Pen Heaven offers a range of products designed to inspire creativity and personal reflection. From premium leather-bound journals to expertly engineered pens, Pen Heaven brings timeless craftsmanship and elegance to every product, making it easy to find the perfect gift for loved ones or the ideal companion for your own journaling journey.
I received two premium products from Pen Heaven—the Amalfi Large Refillable Leather Journal and the Andhand Aspect Forest Green Retractable Pen—that transform writing into an enjoyable ritual.
Amalfi Large Refillable Leather Journal
This sophisticated, refillable journal is made from Italian leather and features a soft, wrap-around cover to protect its acid-free, cream-colored pages. Ideal for capturing thoughts, sketches, and aspirations, this journal is crafted for durability and beauty. I’ve been using it on my business trips to take notes, keep track of expenses and do a little journaling as well. Not only does it look good, but it’s lightweight and easy to pack in my laptop bag.
Key Features:
* Refillable design with acid-free lined or plain pages
* Dimensions: 15.5 x 22.2 cm; A5 page size: 14.0 x 20.8 cm
* 128 pages of high-quality paper
* Handmade with soft calf’s leather and stitched edges
Andhand Aspect Forest Green Retractable Pen
Complement your journaling with the ergonomic, stylish Andhand Aspect pen, designed from 100% aluminum for a sleek, plastic-free experience. With a satin forest green finish (such a pretty color) and a smooth rollerball refill, this pen offers a velvety writing experience, making it the ideal companion. This pen writes beautifully and is compact and elegant—it’s the perfect complement to the journal.
Key Features:
* Capless rollerball with a click mechanism
* Constructed entirely from high-quality aluminum
* Finished in satin forest green with a Schmidt capless rollerball refill
* Compatible with Parker-style G2 refills for flexibility
Pen Heaven’s Amalfi Journal and Andhand Pen make for a thoughtful holiday gift—or, if you’re feeling festive, treat yourself to the combo and call it “self-care.”
Of course, as I mentioned earlier, there truly are benefits to journaling. David Cole, CEO of Pen Heaven, reflects on journaling’s potential, saying, “Writing in a journal is a transformative practice that allows us to tap into our innermost thoughts and desires. By committing to journaling regularly, we create a roadmap for our future selves—a powerful way to clarify goals, track progress, and stay accountable.”
Both products are available on the Pen Heaven website in a variety of colors, and you can even personalize them for an extra-special touch. I had my name embossed on the journal and my initials on the pen—so elegant!

I have epilepsy and I’m a pet owner…so I don’t burn traditional candles in my home. Instead, I use flameless candles and candle warmer lamps. They’re the perfect alternatives to fragrance the air and give my home ambiance lighting. They’re affordable and come in hundreds of different sizes and colors. You can find a style to go with any home decor that you may be working with.

Three months ago I started using Candle Warmer Lamps for Jar Candles in our living room, family room and master bedroom. I purchased all three of them from Amazon in 2 different styles. You can adjust the height to accomodate the size of your jar candle. I love the dimmer feature which helps you to set the perfect level of ambiance lighting. You can select really fancy looking candle lamps or go with a more traditional style.
One of the things I really love about using a candle lamp is the timer feature! I can set it on the timer for 2, 4 or 8 hours. After the time is up…it automatically turns itself off. Just turn it on, set the timer and forget about it! You set the light brightness from 10% to 100% lighting. The higher you set it…the more it melts your candle and fragrances the air. Of course…the higher you set it the brighter the light.
How does the candle warmer lamp work? It runs on electricity using a light bulb that heats up to melt the wax in your jar candle. The melted wax is what releases the fragrance into the air while giving your home that ambiance lighting. It doesn’t use a lot of electricity at all and definitely much safer than burning an open-flame candle.
To keep things interesting I like to change out my jar candles every month with a new fragrance, especially seasonal ones. Save the lids to your jar candles, so you can store them away when switching out your fragrances. I’ve used smaller sized to really large jar candles with mine. Just adjust the height of the lamp and you’ll be good to go!
The Candle Warmer Lamps for Jar Candles make a great gift! I’m purchasing more of them to give as Birthday, Bridal Shower and Christmas gifts. If you’re giving one as a gift…make sure you pick up an inexpensive jar candle to give along with it. I think anyone who receives one as a gift will absolutely love it! It’s something they can use anywhere in their home and think of you every time they use it.
Head on over to Amazon to check out all of the Candle Warmer Lamps for Jar Candles that they have to offer.
