To a dear friend in Brazil I mailed this Moleskine journal, a personalized engraved iPod Nano, and a Sony Cybershot camera.  The response was "I loved the presents but of all of them I loved the Moleskine journals.  I took them to Fashion Design class the next day in Sao Paulo and one of the classmantes in design offered me 200 Reals, (100 USD) but I wouldn't part with it.  You really knew what to give me to make me feel good!  (P.S. I own about 25 blank Moleskine journals, and never spend a moment without one -- personal journaling is an art for me.  These are the best journals I've ever used.... and I taught journal technique for Dialog House New York in the International Intensive Journal Program....)
