Gifts Ideas for Planner Lovers

by Donna 3 Comments Post Updated: June 2025

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

This is a more affordable (less high-quality) disc-bound planner that many people love! It’s a great starter planner and lots of fun. They have so many fun stickers and add-ons to customize your planner too.

Goal Planners

Powersheets Goal Planner

This would be my #1 gift to give someone who is already into weekly or daily planning. Goal planning will help them create a plan to attain their goals. Powersheets is my favorite goal planner you can read my review here.

Gift Ideas for Friends who use a Disc Bound Planner

Paper Punch for Disc Bound Planners –

One benefit to disc 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.

      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!
