Gifts for Planners

Sharing is caring!

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 that journals a lot of uses a bullet journal, I have some fun bullet journal gift ideas they will love

One benefit to disc bound planner is that you can move your pages around easily. Adding and removing pages is simple because the pages just slide out of the discs. A paper punch is a must-have if you want to add your own pages.
