Personal Planner Review

It’s no secret that I love stationery and planners. I have reviewed a Personal Planner before on the blog, and was very happy to review another. I have had a happy year with my bullet journal merging both my blog planning and personal planning together, however I wanted something just for my blog again.

Personal-planner.com have a wide range of options for designing a planner to suit your needs. From mini planners, A4 planners to wall planners, there is something for everyone. My personal choice is an A5 planner with a week to view as this design and size suits me.

When arriving at the website, you are given some very clear options to design your planner starting with the size required. I love that the prices are also available right at the beginning so you know what you are dealing with.

Once you choose your ideal size, then it’s time to customise the design of your cover and the inside of the planner. There is so much choice that I would recommend not doing this step in a hurry as you want to get this bit work well for you.

There are options to personalise your planner, add patterns, choose a variety of layouts, the lists become endless. I love that you can virtually view your planner on the screen which will show you what you will receive. I knew what I wanted in a layout but hadn’t been able to find it elsewhere, so I was very happy to be able to see my week to view on an A5 design right in front of me here.

After your design is complete there are options to include add on’s such as stickers to make your planner pretty, a ruler is also included, just select your colour choice. A range of pens and clear sleeves are on offer at a reasonable add on charge.

I decided to start my planner in the month of October, which isn’t traditional at all, however it suits me, as there is nothing worse than getting a sparkly new planner and having to wait to use it. My planner also includes small boxes at the bottom of the pages for to do lists and notes, with a small overview of the month for reference.

As the cover has a thick plastic outer sleeve on the back and front, I know I can put my planner in my bag and the pages won’t get bent or curled. My planner cost £22.90 and I am very happy with the product as a whole. It’s very good value for money and is working out well for me in my blog planning already. Equally I can see the appeal for using for personal use.

**We received the planner free of charge however all opinions are our own**

I forgot that you could choose the month your planner starts with these guys – I ended up settling for an academic planner – I would have the 2 different sections so I could place both of my jobs in it and also a to-do list – quite often it gets copied on to the following weeks to do list but the good intention is there.
