The Power of a Bookmark: More Than Just a Page Holder
The Power of a Bookmark: More Than Just a Page Holder
When you think of a bookmark, what comes to your mind? Maybe an image of a worn slip of paper that’s traveled with you through a dozen stories. Or maybe it’s a pretty decorated piece of cardstock you purchased because it just spoke to you — the color, the quote or the art on it.
But here’s a thought: a bookmark isn't just a bookmark.
At Create Lavender, we see bookmarks as small but powerful expressions of who you are. Every design we make carries intention — allowing you to express yourself authentically, boldly and proudly. Whether you’re lost in a good book, writing out your goals, or simply taking a moment for yourself, that little strip of art is a reminder to slow down and savor the page you’re on. And that can be in both your book and in your life.
When You Gift a Bookmark, You’re Really Giving a Moment
Have you ever stood in an aisle or scrolled online thinking, “I just want to find something simple but meaningful to give.” That can be found in the small gesture of giving a good bookmark.
And it says so much without you having to speak a word. It’s a quiet way to say, “I see you and I know you love stories so take time for yourself.”
It’s thoughtful. Affordable. Personal.
When you tuck a beautifully designed bookmark into a greeting card you're giving someone an excuse to find a moment of calm in their busy world. A reason to pause, to reflect and to take a moment to dream again.
More Than Reading: Creative Ways to Use Your Bookmarks
And let’s be honest, many bookmarks are far too beautiful and meaningful to stay hidden between pages of a book all the time.
So, here are a few other ways to use them in your life:
In your planner or journal: Use one to mark your goals, affirmations, or prayers. Let it be your anchor and a visual cue that says, “keep going.”
On your vision board: Add one that has words or meaningful images that remind you of your “why.”
As décor: Frame it to hang or display it on your desk.
