The first diary that I have bought for 2018 was the Rifle Paper Co Planner 17-18 which is a 17-month planner covering August 2017 until December 2018. I got the “tapestry” cover (pictured below) but there are loads of wonderful floral patterns to choose from.  I bought my very fist Rifle Paper Co Planner (2016-17 version) while I was on holiday in the states so I was delighted when I came across the planner on UK website Fox and Star which meant I could grab the updated planner and save on the international shipping.

What is fantastic about this planner (and the reason I bought it for the second year in a row) is how functional it is. The planner contains both monthly and weekly calendar pages and various other tabbed sections including notes and important dates. It is easy to navigate and is fairly neutral in design.

Fox and Star are offering 10% off their 2018 planners this weekend – so if you haven’t already checked them out now is a perfect time to do so. The offers include planners from Rifle Paper Co., Mark’s Tokyo Edge, Ban.do and Hightide.  All of which are beautifully functional planners and not your usual run of the mill diary.

Although not included in the offer – it is also worth checking out their other undated planners.

I also bought in the same shopping haul the Livework Minimal Planner (Monthly) in Grey. Again this is the second year in a row that I have bought this minimal planner (the first one I came across in Foyles). The Livework Minimal Planner is a fresh and clean with lots of space to plan. It provides you with the layout (it is completely free of text inside) and you use it the way you want to.  There are 12 monthly layouts and weekly layouts with plenty of opportunity to personalise.

You can do whatever you want with it 🙂
