Family diary/organiser recommendations

[Tretweet]

I have relied on the Boxclever family life organiser for years now, it seems like they’ve stopped making them. I know I should move to a phone based planner but there’s something about a physical thing for me.

So hoping for some recommendations for good family organisers as I’m a little bit devastated all my well honed organisation systems might fall apart 😂 But the stationery geek in me is also excited about the possibilities of something new!

Ideally I’d an academic year diary that goes for 18 months like the Boxclever one (ran August to December the following year). Would consider one starting in January though.

Regular to do list section.

Ideally week or month to view somewhere in the diary even if it’s a page a day

Summer holiday planner you can fill in.

Christmas present planner.

Any ideas wise Mumnetters?

Wot???? I've relied on this for over a decade! Ive never found anything else with a similar grid system.

I know 😞I couldn’t find one on Amazon or their own website so I think they’ve stopped them.

Couldn’t believe it!

Busy B are pretty good and their products look lovely too.

Used Mum’s Office ones for years until we went digital with our diaries at work.

Try ‘Family Wall’, it’s fantastic

I think Boxclever Press are moving all their products to 12 months. There's details on their website

Yayyyyy! Order has been restored to my life! I never used the full 16 months anyway. Thanks @kitchenplans

@Tretweet Just looked and it seems the 2026 calendars and organisers are in stock now.

I use the calendar format (I'm a bit old school and like a wall calendar!) but now they've changed the length, I'm going to hold off ordering for a couple of months as otherwise I'll have it kicking around unused for a while. Previously I could always just transfer over anything in the calendar and start using the new one straight away!

Haaa I’ve literally just invested in a Busy B one! I do like the 16 months though so for me not sure it would have helped. I’m glad they haven’t completely stopped making. I guess if I hate the Busy B one I can ask for the shorter one for Christmas.

This is why I bought a new one as I was getting twitchy about dates in September and not having anywhere to write them 😂
