Planning in a paper planner is so popular right now and I’m a fan! I have plenty of gift ideas for planners because I’m a “planner girl” too! Maybe you’re trying to find gifts for bullet journal lovers. I’ve gathered several great gifts that anyone who uses a paper planner, bullet journal, or just loves to journal.
I love a good paper planner! I started using Franklin Covey day planners back in the 90’s and my love for planners has grown ever since. I’m a long-time paper planner user and there is a whole community of people online that adore planners just as much as I do.
Planning has become more than a productivity tool. Many planners love decorating their planners, some use day planners as a journal or mini-scrapbook. They are creative and LOVE their planner supplies. It’s a great hobby for geeky, creatives like me.
Bullet journaling has also taken off and thousands of people have found how helpful it is to use a bullet journal. If you have someone in your life who journals a lot or uses a bullet journal, I have some fun bullet journal gift ideas they will love

I love Staedtler pens, they are my favorite! I also like the idea of a weekly kickstart, I may need to look into that. Thanks for the ideas!

I love Staedtler pens too but I’m such a perfectionist I need erasable pens so I tend to use Frixion pens the most. I really love the weekly kickstart – it’s a great way to take a quick look at your week. Thanks for stopping by!
