Need a gift or a treat for yourself? Look no more! You will find unmatched craftsmanship in Sandy’s Books and Boxes, from the selection of papers to the attention to detail. Sandy’s thoughtful groupings of boxes, cards, and books give the buyer a totally unique shopping experience. If you are in the market for an elegant box or a practical book, Sandy has what you need.

Sandy’s beautiful hand-crafted books and boxes are unique, making them perfect gifts. There are papers to suit everyone, from whimsical to elegant and the refillable note books and post its are brilliant. (So much nicer than the sticky notes on the fridge.) Get one to write your passwords in or keep a diary, something that would be a good exercise for children too, especially during these days of lockdown. Something beautiful and useful is always a joy and these fit the bill perfectly. JF, Afton, Va.
Sandy’s handmade books are beautiful! I’ve ordered an address book for my hubby that he also uses to store passwords- he loves it! Also bought a variety of the books with replaceable notepads- they make lovely gifts for Xmas & birthday! Plus I’ve bought a few just for me because I enjoy treating myself to something special. Highly recommended! KS, Cranston, RI
I LOVE all of Sandy’s boxes and books. I’ve used so many as all kinds of gifts! I’m not a good shopper. All I have to do is tell her what I’m looking for and she’s been great at offering suggestions to personalize each gift for that person and or occasion. And they are BEAUTIFUL. EXCELLENT quality and craftsmanship. A great new neighbor gift was one with a local map used as a cover! Thank you Thank you Sandy!! JD, Crozet Va
Sandy‘s Books is my go-to gift buying site whenever I need a present, something special. People are always amazed at how beautiful they are and what a unique gift they are, hand-crafted and stunning papers! You can’t find anything like these in the store. They make a really unique gift and you can actually personalize a gift towards your friend or family member with a paper choice from her many beautiful paper. LS, Mill Valley, CA.
I have one of Sandy’s beautiful boxes which sits on a table beside my chair, plus I was able to select the color from a wide range of wonderful papers. I just love it and use it to keep a pen, nail file, glasses and ear buds all handy and tidy! I also have a 5 1/2 X 8 1/2 notebook which is kept in the kitchen for grocery lists and other reminders! It saves having lists everywhere, plus it looks so cheerful. When I went Britain to visit relatives I gave them notebooks. It was such fun to give them all a lovely handmade gift. JS. Afton, VA
Everything that Sandy creates exceeds in beauty and functionality. She has an eye for blending colors and patterns, and also provides choices for custom orders. Her work appeals to all ages and makes unusual and appreciated gifts. My favorite of several pieces remains my password book, which is both pretty, practical, and essential. JB, McDonough, GA
I’ve bought a journal, notebook and a jewelry box (so far)! The paper selection is beautiful. Very professional workmanship! Makes a great gift for everyone. RF. White Hall, Va.
Sandy’s products are wonderful! I’ve purchased a good number of her books as gifts and even had her do a custom project for me and each time I’ve been delighted by the superior quality of her craftsmanship and her eye for detail. These books are attractive, useful and well-priced. Can’t ask for more than that! JJ., Crozet VA
Thank you for creating these wonderful books! The workmanship is impeccable, and the materials are exquisite. My husband and I consider these treasures! GS, Lincoln NH
Living far from my grand-nieces I can’t keep up with their interests, but I like sending them something personal for Christmas, not just a check. Sandy’s personalized journals have been the perfect gift for the past three years. The girls use them for notes and drawings right now, but they may turn into diaries in another year or two. Either way, they’ll help bring back good memories in years to come. JW, Waynesboro VA
Great gifts as well as for personal use. Everyone loves the post-its. Great choices and designs. I’ve been a fan since Sandy began making all these! BB, Washington DC
