8 Diary And Journal Suggestions for 2018
As 'Stationery Blogger of the Year' I've been lucky enough to review and recommend lots of stationery items this year, including many diaries, journals and notebooks, in all shapes and sizes. If I'm being totally honest, I struggle to find a diary that totally suits my needs so I tend to mix-and-match with a diary and bullet journal plus reminders on my phone. There are, however, some stand-out items in journal land so I've collated them to help you choose your diary for 2018.

Pocket Notebooks
If you are a list maker or an incessant note taker then Pocket Notebooks will definitely have the jotter for you. If you're after a pocket diary then they stock the Word. Standard Memorandum but also a wide variety of notebooks, including left handed memo pads. They also have added a selection of pens, pencils and accessories.

I've noticed two alternative diary options from The Journal Shop which make your planning a little bit more personal. The first is the Simple Daily Planner which would work brilliantly as a journal and the Un Recueil D'essais notebook which is undated but the layout reminds me of a Hobonichi. They also have a fun quiz on their website which helps you decide what your pen says about you!

Dodo Pad
The DodoPad combines practicality and humour in it's combined planner/diary/doodle book. Each double page spread provides space for multi-reason planning (family, work/home, hobby) and a blank page for notes. Their 2018 diary selection comes in various sizes and also includes Filofax-compatible inserts. I've already got the calendar up in the kitchen and the desk diary at work. Have a look around the website for notebooks and project organisers too.
If you're a Filofax traditionalist then you will already know which insert suits your needs the best - my preference is the 'week to view with notes' - but my hero of the year from Filofax is their refillable notebook. I've used both the A5 and the pocket version - each come with 4 dividers and a selection of paper - and they are both sturdy and practical.
Hope House Press
If you want a luxury made-to-order personalised leather diary for 2018 then Hope House Press is the website to visit. I've already recommended their 'secret code' diary cover creations however you can personalise any of their diary or notebook collections and they've even added accessories such as pens and pencil cases, some of which can also be personalised.
