Welcome back to day three of our annual Home for the Holidays week!
Today I have the privilege of bringing you another giveaway from a friend and contributing writer to Simple Mom, Katie Clemons of Gadanke journals.
I have always been a journal lover at heart, and I’m thrilled that at least one of my children shares my passion.
But as a writer I also know the terror of the blank page that can overwhelm my creative expression. Sometimes getting started is the hardest part.
That’s where Gadanke comes in.
Gadanke, pronounced guh-dawn-kuh, comes from a German word meaning thought or idea. It’s also the name of Katie Clemons’ award winning shop, which she runs from a vintage airplane hangar in Montana.
Katie’s hand-crafted books are filled with:
- writing prompts
- embellishments
- materials from Europe
- 100% recycled paper.
Continue reading for a glimpse into these lovely story-catchers:
This Christmas journal keeps track of your memories from an entire holiday season. Most of the journals from Gadanke feature spiral-binding, allowing you to expand your book with more pages as needed.
I love the enclosed stickers, tags, lists, and interesting add-ons Katie weaves into each of her books. Combine them with your words to create a work of art and a treasured family heirloom!
Find journals for a multitude of occasions: bragging on baby, finding your direction in life, keeping track of thankful thoughts, loving where you live, and many more.
Jump Up, a kid’s journal (pictured above), is the perfect size for a stocking stuffer and features writing prompts like:
- What stunning stuff have I done in my life?
- Who’s my hero?
- What does my bedroom look like?
- What are four ways I could make the world a better place?
Bright colors, space for photos, and fun embellishments encourage kids to write & express their creativity–sign me up for that! (I’ll be gifting this one to my daughter this holiday season!)
Make sure you browse through all the products in Katie’s inspiring shop: from prayer journals to travel journals, card & letter holders to recipe journals–there’s something for everyone on your Christmas list.
Special offer: Use the code “WITHSTORY” for 10% off journals and kits through Friday, December 7th!
One Simple Homeschool reader will win a $100 gift certificate to Gadanke!

I would love one of these for myself, and I think my son would too!
My mom has filled up 5 generic journals (so far) detailing her struggle with Parkinson’s, I would love to get her a beautiful journal to record her story in.
Amelia, 10, who would love to be a writer when she grows up.
While I would love to have this for myself, I think my child that would love it best is my middle child. He loves keeping a journal!
Well I don’t know if they would think of wanting a journal, but I would love for my grandmother and my husband’s grandmother to do one! These are too cool and I have never heard of them. Thanks for introducing your readers to these lovely journals!
I think either my daughter or my best friend. My daughter is always scribbling away on scraps of paper, so I think she would love it. My best friend is a journaler from way back, so I know she would love it.
My niece would love it. She loves to write!
My daughter would love this 🙂
I’d love this for my daughter, or maybe for us to share. She is 5, and we keep a “Thankful Thoughts” journal together in a composition book – each sharing something we are thankful for every day.
My daughter. She loves journals. (And I love Gadanke!)
As a scrapbooker at heart, these journals look fun and I bet my 7yo would join right in.
I would love one to write about the adventures of my daughter.
My son… he love to put his feelings on paper. weather it is in word or pic. form.
i love journaling. i would like to improve my writing beyond the usual dear-diary stuff.
I would like this for myself because I really love the idea of prompted journals that still encourage creativity.
I have always wanted to enjoy the journaling experience. I love the prompts- seems like it would really lead the process and help overcome writers block. And I would love to share this with my son!
The person I would give one to might see this on Facebook and come here to enter, so I’m not going to say 🙂
my 7 yr old son. he loves notebooks & carries them everywhere!
I would give one to my friend who is journaling all the time!
My oldest. He’s the aspiring writer in the family.
I would LOVE one of these for myself and also for my daughter. I LOVE Katie’s work and words!
I think I’d give a journal to my daughter. She often doesn’t have the courage to say things out loud, but I can sometimes get her to write them down.
These journals look so interesting! I would love to have one, but would love for my girls to have them even more.
my husband loves journals and my daughter loves to write.
At the moment I would probably enjoy these journals more, I am always jotting down thoughts and plans. But I hope that one day my son would enjoy having one all of his one.
I will definitely save this shop for later, I foresee a lot of presents coming from here!
