Scribbles from Our Fans
Tried a blind book date from @thepaperdolphin and loved the whole experience!
From the thoughtful wrapping to the mystery inside, everything felt personal and charming.
Sometimes, not knowing the book is the best part — and this one surprised me in the best way.
For sure, would do this again! 💌📚

Simply the BEST reader’s journal I’ve come across. Very intuitive, very interesting, and super fun! And the folks at The Paper Dolphin were super kind for expediting my order upon request ❤️ LOVELY experience all around ❤️
Such cuties... they sent it and i thought it got lost in transit. They filed a compaint within mins to help me with it! Then got the parcel. They gave me a postcard, a book mark, a really good book...
Best part: [outside of the book ofc] I love how they sent stuff made of recycled cardboard,recycled newspaper made a really good selection based on the genre.
I always Love a environment conscious book lover.
I'll highly recommend checking them out, i am definitely going to get stuff from them again

I recently came across The Paper Dolphin while browsing and decided to order their "My Daily Planner". When it arrived, I was pleasantly surprised—it’s even cuter than I imagined! The planner is undated, which is perfect because it allows me to use it at my own pace without feeling pressured to fill out pages daily.

The quality of the materials and the overall aesthetic make it a great purchase. If you’re looking for a flexible, stylish, and sustainable planner, I highly recommend checking them out!
