The Ultimate Planner Girl Wish List

Do you have a planner girl on your gift list this year?

This last year has been a major journey of sorts for me, as I discovered just how beautiful and fun a paper planner can be.  Sure, I used one in school, and tried different systems off and on as my seasons of life changed, but I never really found anything that stuck.  Then, two years ago, I dropped the ball big time on some major events, and had had enough.  I officially had too many balls in the air, and needed a way to manage everything that I’d actually stick with.

That’s when a friend of mine suggested the Erin Condren Life Planner to me.  She showed me hers and it just looked

That’s right.  A planner looked

It’s been a little over a year, and I now you use a

different (but no less awesome) planner

, and I’ve joined an entire community of like minded planner girls.  The planner community is huge, and there are just so many businesses and products that cater to it, now.  If you love planning, hopefully you’ll find a unique gift in this guide to add to your collection.  If you don’t plan, but no someone who does, I hope you consider one of these items as a gift this year!

Lots of planner girls prefer a ring-bound planner, because they are convenient, but if you know someone that likes to use printables or add extra pieces to her planner, than a binder is a must!  There are all sorts of  brands and price points out there.  I’m personally looking at a

for next year after doing my research on brands and styles.

Binders are nice, because they allow you to add extra pages (like the printabes in my library), move things around, or keep extra essentials in the front pockets.  Plus, you can really get some gorgeous covers!

Yes, pens can be really awesome! I personally never understood it until I

awesome pens, but now I get it.  My personal favorites right now are the new

Paper Mate InkJoy Gel Pens

.  The grip is fantastic, the ink dries incredibly fast, and it writes smoother than butter. (

yes, I just compared a pen to butter).

If you haven’t tried them yet, pick up a pack and see what all of the fuss is about!

3. Washi and Stickers

My planning time is basically a creative outlet, now.  I coordinate colors, design a layout, and really just get in the zone.  It’s almost like scrapbooking, but without pictures!  Using washi tape and stickers is my favorite way to make my planning time more fun, and both of these items are usually a big hit with most planner girls I know.  I talked

about my favorite sticker shops, and I still recommend each and every one of these women!  As an added bonus, by ordering through them, you are supporting other lady bosses and mom bosses!

Maybooks aren’t necessarily planner related, unless you get the one that has a calendar in it,

making lists and planning kind of go hand in hand.  I’ve mentioned before that I always have a notebook with me, and these are the perfect size to toss in your purse (or the front of one of those awesome binders!) and have a place to jot down anything you need throughout the day.  I have a May Designs book as well as a few others in the same style, and I truly love them and use them all the time.

5. Travelers Notebooks

These seem to go hand in hand with the Maybooks.  I don’t personally own one, but I think they are so cool.  I’d love to get one to hold all of my notebooks and possibly my bullet journal.  They do come with a steep price tag, though, for a well made one.  I’ve seen the best reviews on the

notebooks, so that’s probably where I’ll go when I’m ready to splurge on myself!

7. Daily Tear off Planner sheets

Are these not the coolest things?  I might just have to buy them for everyone I know with an actual desk!  What a perfect place to jot down your daily schedule, and it’s much more compact than a full sized planner, but much nicer to look at than post-it notes everywhere!  To be honest, I think

cute notepad would be well received by most planner girls, but these are just fantastic.

9. Heidi Swap Memory Planner Kit

So many of the ladies I know use their planners as a sort of scrapbook.  It’s a fun way to look back on what happened in your day-to-day life years later.  This is part of the beauty of decorations to a planner girl.  This

Heidi Swapp Memory Planner Kit

looks like it has everything she’d need to get started using her planner as a memory book. I’d love to get one myself and dig around through all the goodies!

10. Awesome Pen Case

If you have awesome pens, you need an awesome case to put them in!  There are no shortage of choices, but a pretty case that holds lots of pens is always a bonus.  This is especially nice for those that like to color code, because it’s easier to carry multiple pens while out.  Just fill one of these with the colors you use and toss it in your purse so you can jot things down while you’re out!

Hey Kira! I love getting a new planner! I got an academic year planner in August, and I’m already sad that I don’t get a new one in January! Hope you found something awesome you love!
