You might try a Midori Traveler's Notebook or google any of the cheaper Fauxdori options from various vendors.
This pen loop will fit a pen inside the loop and this pen loop will fit the pen's clip in the loop.

There's also a Passport size that's about half as tall.

Also, I'll second the Leuchtturm1917 it's a great notebook, and the paper is more fountain pen friendly than Moleskine (if you're in to that sort of thing.) Although, the Moleskine sketchbooks come with some nice thick paper.

I think $19 is a little pricey, yes. Keep in mind, you're competing with things like this.

For a notebook, as soon as I'm paying more than maybe $15 it had better be special. That's just my personal opinion.

You've gotten excellent advice on inks, and some on notebooks. You mentioned being overwhelmed by the choices, but wanting a sturdy notebook that can handle fountain pen ink. There are a few choices mentioned in here, but perhaps I can help summarize this. Key thing you will want is a high gsm (Grams per Square Meter), since a high gsm means thicker paper.

  • Red and Black: 96 sheets, standard ruling, 90gsm, casebound, hardcover. Personally, no experience with this, but I've heard there's no bleed through with fountain pens.

  • Seven Seas "WRITER" A5 Journal: 240 sheets, ruling is 7mm, 52 gsm Tomoe River paper, thread-bound for binding, cover is impregnated cloth (but you can buy a leather cover). Also no experience with this either.

  • Leuchtturm1917 Medium Size Hardcover A5 Notebook: 125 sheets, ruling can be either lined/graph/dot grid, 70 gsm, thread-bound, hardcover with some sort of leather covering. I've been using these since 2013, and in my first notebook, my handwriting hasn't changed from the day I had written in it with Diamine Ancient Copper. You would still want sturdier ink than what I had used. The paper is cream colored, and smooth. Bleed through is rare.

  • Rhodia Webnotebook A5: 80 sheets, ruling can be either lined/graph/dot grid, 90 gsm, thread bound, leatherette hard cover. I've always enjoyed Rhodia paper, and while I haven't used this particular product, the paper is much smoother than the Leuchtturm1917, and there's less ghosting. The paper also appears whiter to me than the Leuchtturm1917.

  • Rhodia Goalbook A5: 112 sheets, ruling is dot grid, 90gsm, thread bound, leatherette hard cover. Throwing this in the options list, since you get a few more sheets. Also wanted to point out that the cover appears to be flexible.

  • Scribbles That Matter, Pro: 100 sheets approx, ruling is dot grid, 100gsm, thread bound, vegan leather hard cover. The sheets are smooth, and a bit brighter than the Leuchtturm1917, but a bit more ivory than the Rhodia. Great paper, and the cover feels more durable and pleasant than the L1917. With fountain pens, I have yet to bleed through this paper, and the ghosting (seeing what is written on the other side of the sheet) is very minimal. If I push you towards any notebook, it'll be this one. It also comes with a penloop that is not useless, unlike the L1917.

  • Lemome Thick Classic Notebook with Pen Loop A5: 90 sheets, ruling is either dot grid or lined, 90 sheets, 125 gsm, thread bound, leatherette cover. Just got this the other day, and the pages are thick and smooth so far. No bleed through or ghosting with fountain pen ink yet.

  • Lemome Hardcover A5 with Pen Holder: 92 sheets, ruling is dot grid, 100g, thread bound, leather hardcover. Just an option to put in here, it has a pen loop, and the paper seems to be slightly less thick than the prior Lemome notebook.

    Wishing you and your daughter the best during these hard times.

I relentlessly bookmark anything I might want to find again. I find Pinboard very well-suited to this because it a) is (optionally) public, so I can share sets of links with others or quickly reference things from another computer, b) is tag-oriented, rather than folder-oriented, so I can spam tags on things to help me find them later, and c) crawls my bookmarks so I can perform a full-text search on them later. There's also nice Android integration so I can save things there as well. It costs 11 USD/year, and is far more useful than, say, eating out once a year at a Thai place, or one movie a year. I'd also recommend reading Don't Be A Free User.

I tend not to save particular snippets of code, because I don't really re-use snippets (or when I do, I build them into a silly little library that I can re-use across all my projects). But when I do, it's easy enough to throw a Stack Overflow page into Pinboard, often with an additional description to help me find it again.

I've lately started to heavily use pen-and-paper at work (specifically, an A5-sized ruled Leuchtturm notebook with a pen quiver and fountain pens - r/fountainpens will lead you down that particular rabbit hole). This usually isn't to reference things much later, but just to help me during the process: while I'm debugging an issue, I can write down the different approaches I've tried and thus not have to remember them. :) It's also useful for helping me to think through architectural approaches and that sort of thing. I sit next to a window, so sometimes I do this with a whiteboard marker there as well, depending on my mood.

In general, I try to move as many things as possible out of my brain and into permanent storage so I can keep only an index of where to find them again.

For notes, I swear by Leuchtturm notebooks. They're like Moleskines, but better. They have a Table of Contents and page numbers so you can mark what you covered in each day of notes, and have stickers for easy archiving at the end. I found them really nice for classes with open-note exams and for documenting research.

u/beaverteeth92 · 2 pointsr/college

Seconded. If you have open-book tests or know you're going to look over notes a lot, I highly recommend shelling out money for a Leuchtturm notebook. It has page numbers, a table of contents, and two bookmarks. They've been really helpful for some classes.

I made it for this notebook actually. I bought one myself to make sure the dimensions would work. I really like the notebook.

u/apheresis · 1 pointr/notebooks

How many lines does the Leuchtturm have? The image on Amazon shows that it is 17 lines, that seems very little.

I have multiple journals: one for my day-to-day stuff (what people here call a bullet journal), an art journal, a journal for creative writing prompts, and a journal for actual stories that are coming to fruition. These don’t include my field notebooks for work and just random list-making journals I have everywhere! But to start, a daily journal is definitely best because you can literally write whatever you want in it!

The best journal on the planet is the Leuchtturm. Love the quality of the paper and how the cover feels. Extra-fine pens are also my jam.

u/Crazy_John · 0 pointsr/fountainpens

I'm not a fan of the newer parkers, and the ink is really really boring, whether it's Blue, Black or Blue/Black.

How about: A Leuchtturm Notebook, a Pilot Metropolitan, and a bottle of ink, what colour does she like?
