Today, we are highlighting Be The Bigger Person’s Holiday Vine Notebook Collection, showcasing cultural inclusivity and thoughtful hand-designed covers by Avni Parekh to honor global observances through beautiful, symbolic botanical and food-based imagery, and meaningful quotes to celebrate these prosperous traditions.
1. Ramadan Notebook
Ramadan is a month of deep spiritual reflection, self-discipline, and community. It is a time for slowing down and focusing on one's intentions, the very essence of what it means to be the bigger person. If you are looking for a meaningful gift for a loved one (or yourself) during this holy month, look no further than our Ramadan Notebook.
The Symbolism of the Date
The cover of this notebook features a hand-designed illustration of dates (the fruit), the traditional staple used to break the fast (Iftar). Symbolizing hospitality, nourishment, and faith, the date is a powerful reminder of the sweetness that comes after a period of discipline.
How to Use It
This notebook is the perfect companion for recording daily reflections, nightly prayers, or Sadaqah (charitable) goals. Its elegant design fits perfectly on a bedside table or in a prayer bag.
2. Diwali Notebook
Diwali, the Festival of Lights, celebrates the victory of light over darkness and knowledge over ignorance. It is a time for renewal and inviting prosperity into the home. To honor this vibrant tradition, Avni Parekh designed a notebook that captures the elegance and divinity of the season.
The Symbolism of the Pink Lotus
The Diwali Notebook features the traditional flower staple of India. In many cultures, the lotus represents purity and the ability to rise above muddy waters to bloom with grace, a perfect metaphor for taking the high road in life.
How to Use It
Use this colorful notebook to manifest your goals for the Hindu New Year, track your Dhanteras intentions, or simply jot down festive recipes for your family gathering. It can be used year-round, not only for the holiday.
3. Hanukkah Notebook
Hanukkah, the Festival of Lights, is a beautiful time of dedication and resilience. As families gather to light the menorah, there is a shared sense of warmth and gratitude. If you’re searching for a unique eight nights gift, our Hanukkah Notebook offers a sophisticated, mindful touch.
The Symbolism of the Pear
While many focus on the oil, the pear is a traditional food staple often found in Hanukkah cakes and poached desserts. It represents longevity and the fruits of one's labor. This hand-designed cover brings a fresh, botanical aesthetic to the holiday table.
How to Use It
This is an excellent space for gratitude journaling during each of the eight nights of Hanukkah, recording family stories, or planning your Kosher holiday menu. Not to mention, a great space to jot down your business ideas.
4. Christmas Notebook
The holiday season is often a whirlwind of activity, but it’s also the prime time to practice the core tenets of being the bigger person: patience, kindness, and joy. Our Christmas Notebook is a festive and functional gift that fits perfectly in any chimney-hanging stocking.
The Symbolism of Mistletoe
Mistletoe is a timeless Christmas plant staple representing peace, love, and goodwill. Avni Parekh’s hand-designed illustration captures the classic holiday spirit moves of the most magical time of the year.
How to Use It
Use it as a Christmas planning book, have your kids write their letters to Santa, or enjoy a dedicated planner for your New Year’s resolutions. Its compact size makes it a great on-the-go companion for a busy holiday schedule.
5. Kwanzaa Notebook
Kwanzaa is a celebration of community, family, and culture, built upon the seven principles (Nguzo Saba). To honor this time of reflection and heritage, we’ve included a design that speaks to the very foundation of the celebration.
The Symbolism of Corn (Muhindi)
The Kwanzaa Notebook features a beautifully rendered stalk of corn, a traditional Kwanzaa food staple. In the context of the holiday, corn represents the children and the future of the family, the harvest of a life lived with purpose and integrity.
How to Use It
This notebook is ideal for journaling about the seven principles like Umoja (Unity) and Kujichagulia (Self-Determination). It makes a meaningful gift for a Karamu (feast) host or a family member dedicated to personal growth.
