Im a sucker for stationary, seriously.

This, friends, was why I was excited to test the Tesmo Universe Book.

Okay, nerd.

We reviewed a notebook that can charge your phone for some reason?

Its a notebook that and wrap your noggin around this also functions as a power bank.

It’s free, every week, in your inbox.

Yeah, as an idea, I dont mind it at all.

Well, it comes with a diary-like insert thats quite self-help-y.

In other words, you really cant use the notepad while youre wireless charging.

There was also an issue with writing on the last pages of the insert.

Literally just providing a piece of thick cardboard at the back of the notepad would solve this issue.

Whos it for then?

Know someone whose phone always runs out of charge and wants a mindful notepad?

The Tesmo Universe Book might solve both.

Still, for $129 I think it’s possible for you to do better.

And, after that, look ata Midori Travelers Notebook.

The journal costs about $50 and the inserts hover around the $10 mark.

Honestly, you wont regret it.

Sum the Tesmo up like

Its cool.

But it has some flaws.

Its a well-made, premium-feeling product that I enjoyed fiddling about with.

Still, while I might not buy it myself, I could imagine it making a cool present.
