Gabrielle's Notebook is a lined journal with one name on the cover, hers. The name sits in flowing script above a soft pink watercolor apple blossom design.
Gabrielle is the French feminine form of Gabriel, says Behind the Name; Wikipedia translates Gabriel as “God is my strong man”. Behind the Name adds a fashionable fact: it was the real first name of the French designer Coco Chanel. That makes Gabrielle a stylish choice for anyone who loves fashion.
Behind the Name lists Gaby in French and Brielle, Gabby and Gaby in English as short forms of Gabrielle. Gabby Douglas made Gabby famous; Brielle is the newer, softer option.
Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel founded the house of Chanel and is the only fashion designer on Time’s list of the 100 most influential people of the 20th century. Gabrielle “Gabby” Douglas won the 2012 Olympic all-around title, the first African American to do so. Gabrielle Union had roles in She’s All That and 10 Things I Hate About You before breaking through in the cheerleading film Bring It On. And Gabrielle Giffords represented Arizona in the US House from 2007 to 2012, only the third woman from her state elected to Congress.
Gabrielle peaked just before Gabriella. US Social Security data has it at 68th in the 1990s, when nearly 50,000 American girls were named Gabrielle, and 61st in the 2000s, then 171st in the 2010s, as Gabriella took over. Most Gabrielles today are in their 20s and 30s.
Coco Chanel designed her own logo. Wikipedia says she created the interlocking CC monogram herself, and her signature scent, Chanel No. 5, became one of fashion’s most famous products.
This is a notebook for every kind of Gabrielle: the student, the list-maker, the diary keeper, the busy mom. Its 160 lined pages and 6" x 9" format suit daily journaling, study, meal plans, goals or gratitude notes. Plain lines mean no rules about how to use it. Her name on the front makes it easy to spot on a crowded desk.
Notebooks tend to multiply on desks and in drawers. One with Gabrielle’s name on the front is instantly hers: easy to spot, harder to “borrow”, and more personal than a plain cover. For children especially, seeing their own name on something makes it special and encourages them to actually use it.
How big is Gabrielle’s Notebook? The notebook measures 6 x 9 inches (roughly 15 x 23 cm) and has 160 lined pages.
