Two ideas among many that I am big fan of are hydration and multi-functionality. Where is this going, you ask? Allow PACElid to elegantly link these two ideas together.

We’re no stranger to Baron Fig ’round these parts; I’ve reviewed the Confidant Hardcover Notebook, the Vanguard Softcover Notebook, and the Squire Rollerball Pen.
