I’ve bought the Papersmiths wirebound diary before, but decided to try this newer style instead. I’m really glad I did - it fits perfectly into my smaller handbags and still has everything I need to plan out my weeks.
This has become my go-to item of stationery to be used as a diary. I may write half a page one day, two pages the next. Whatever events of the day dictate. The more-or-less, apart from numbering, simple layout of the lined pages suits me just fine. My first purchase was a couple of years back, I'll continue being a satisfied customer.
This is the first quality notebook I found that alternates blank pages with lined pages. This allows me to mind map or to have space for sketching alongside my notes. Much appreciated.
Love this planner, perfect for my job and still small enough to cary with me
Love the size and colour of this diary. Each month is planner style which is perfect. Arrived quickly and was beautifully wrapped. I saw these instore in Brighton last year so have been waiting for the diary season again.
My every day pen writes beautifully, just one of the best I have had.
Couldn't find the organiser locally this year , this is the one I like as everything is clear on it. Ordering and delivery from papersmiths was top notch.
The design and consideration that has gone into this planner is clear; I will be ordering one every year from now onwards. The layout is perfect for those who like to keep a running todo alongside appointments and the monthly layout pages are exactly what I’ve been looking for. The tabs are so much more useful than I thought they would be! To top it off, Papersmiths delivered so quickly and with a cute postcard and exemplary wrapping!
First came across Mark's Storage.it diaries on a trip to Tokyo about a decade ago, and honestly I don't think I've ever seen better. The paper is great quality, the layout is excellent, the ziplock cover eternally useful. An automatic annual purchase ever since that holiday, I'll be devastated if they ever stop producing them!
I've had this before and will continue to re-purchase. Perfect small sized planner to keep in bag and takes no extra space.
The diary length is also very useful.
Great service too! Personalised mine with a few stickers.
Lovely + protective packaging
I’ve had my eye on this planner for a while and it’s met my expectations, I’m so happy with it! Excited to continue using it to support better organisation of my time.
Perfect as always
Felt special getting it so well packaged. It was for a 7 year anniversary and was exactly as pictured, dispatched quickly and good quality. Very happy.
Nice weight, great quality and writes smooth 😊
