Are you looking for a Jubiluu lined hardcover notebook to take notes, keep a diary, or give a gift that’s both practical and elegant? A pretty cover alone doesn’t guarantee a good purchase. A notebook can catch your eye at first glance, but it won’t be a pleasure to use day after day if its size, paper or closure system doesn’t match your habits.
Before you place your order, three common mistakes keep cropping up:
The A5 size, measuring roughly 14.8 × 21 cm, is ideal for students, professionals and journaling enthusiasts who want a comfortable writing surface. It gives you room to write meeting notes, detailed lists, exercises or several pages of diary entries without feeling cramped.
The A6 size, around 10.5 × 14.8 cm, slips more easily into a bag or a large pocket. It’s better suited to those looking for an everyday notebook to jot down an address, an idea, a task or a few lines on the go.
To avoid disappointment, start with how you’ll mainly use it: regular, structured writing calls for A5, while quick notes and portability point to A6.
The Jubiluu notebooks featured here use 100 gsm offset paper, which is sturdier than very thin paper. The A5 models come with cream or ivory lined paper, while the A6 versions use off-white lined paper.
This weight generally works well with a ballpoint pen, a fountain pen with suitable ink, or a fine-tipped marker. However, the result also depends on the ink you use and how hard you press. The mention “low show-through” doesn’t guarantee no visibility at all on the reverse side. If you write on both sides, it’s best to consider your own habits and test your pen before filling the notebook.
A notebook with an elastic closure stays securely shut in your bag and helps prevent pages from getting dog-eared or opening unexpectedly. The bookmark ribbon lets you find a note or the last page of your journal straight away. On A6 models, the pen loop also saves you from hunting for your writing tool at the bottom of your bag.
These extras mean you don’t need to carry a separate pencil case or bookmark. They don’t make the notebook waterproof, though: the product pages recommend keeping it in a dry place and cleaning the cover with a soft, slightly damp cloth if needed, without using any harsh products.

A5 gives you more space to write regularly, add headings or develop your thoughts. A6 is better for short entries, thoughts jotted down on the spur of the moment, and taking with you on the go.
100 gsm paper can work well with many fountain pens, but the result depends on the ink, the nib and how much ink is laid down. To reduce the risk of show-through or bleeding, test it on one page before using the notebook for an important project.
Keep the notebook away from moisture, excessive heat and sharp objects. For a PU cover, use a soft, slightly damp cloth and then let it air dry. For a fabric or decorated cover, use a dry cloth to preserve the finish.
