Christmas planners

[Mallowmarshmallow]

Hello all

What are peoples' favourite paper planners?

I'm on holiday at the moment -and have possibly sunk too much sangria- and suddenly feel the need to have a lovely paper planner in addition to my presents app. Preferably one I can use to refer back to in subsequent years to reference what did/didn't work or we did/didn't need....

I bought a lovely one from cath kidston a few years ago.

Following with interest to see what's available this year!!

I bought this five-year Christmas planner from the Busy B website last year after someone on here recommended it: busyb.co.uk/christmas-planner-new.html It's really good.

Ooo what app do you use?

I have a bullet journal especially for Christmas planning. That way I can have the pages I want and can change it for future years if something doesn't work or I need extra pages. It's nothing fancy really, just different lists on different pages & a couple of tables. I'm always changing my mind about how I do things so I love doing it this way.

I use the Git List app. I had the lite version last year but I've invested this year so I've got the ability to archive and look back on previous years' presents -and not buy people the same presents year after year-

I make my own planner pages and stick them into an A4 scrap book. I only need about 15 sides so I have about 4 years worth in my scrap book now. I use the templates from the previous year and change the background to whatever this year's 'theme' is (this year it's Christmas biscuits on my background). I also typed out my version of the Grand Holiday Plan onto one of them as well and just print off a new version each year in my new 'theme'.

I love getting out my planner in August - my family just groan when they see it :) Even my six year old said to me yesterday "you do realise it's still summer don't you mummy?"

I have a lovely leather planner from Fraser and Parsley. It wasn't cheap but it makes me happy when I use it.

I have some lovely planners from abe creative - they do lots of different ones including a Christmas one. I've got 3 different ones which I love and planning on getting the Christmas one soon!
