Me & My Big and Ideas products are always one of the most expected. The great variety of designs, the functionality and the unlimited options to personalize them make the Happy Planners the star product when it comes to planners.
The arrival of MAMBI's new products in our shop is always an exceptional moment. You have a thousand questions and you check very carefully the product description because thereās always some subtle difference or a new format. Thatās why, to help you with some possible doubts, which is totally understandable since the large amount of products that the brand sells, we've decided to make a small article to clarify the issue with the planners and other products of Me & My Big Ideas.
But first, Create365, Happy Planner, what exactly are they?
When we talk about Happy Planner, or Create365, as you can also find it, we are talking about an object and also, about a concept. Basically, it's a set of pages linked in a disk rings system that allow us to remove and add as many pages as we want whenever we want.
Happy Planners
MAMBI's TOP product are perfect to organize, create, inspire and personalize. You can decorate them with the stickers and washi-tapes of your choice. You can stick recipes, make budgets or mark your sport goals to reach, all in just a single notebook. A simple object with different variations to meet your needs while keeping your agenda beautiful and personalized.
Me & My Big Ideas planners come in different sizes and layouts so there is always a perfect planner for our tastes and needs. It doesn't matter if you are one of those who likes to take your journal with you everywhere (in that case we recommend you the Happy Planner Mini), or if you like to write down a lot of things and have it always at hand on your desk (then, your size is the BIG), youāll always find something that suits you.

Layout
Weāve talked about the sizes we can find, but what happens inside them? Well, there are also some differences. The brand has designed different layouts for its pages so we can always fins something perfect for us. These are the different possibilities weāll find inside:
Horizontal
This arrangement is similar to a classic diary, each day has its own individual space in which we can write several lines.
@chasyplanning / @helpfulsideofme
Vertical
Youāll find each day of the week in a vertical layout and divided into three different spaces so that you can organize your activities in a more optimal way.
@happyplangirls / @pipiplanner
Hourly
Weekly view of your planner in which each day is divided by hours so that you can organize your days to the maximum.
Monthly
With this kind of arrangement, youāll have plenty of space to write your notes, goals, and objectives without limiting yourself to writing things down every day.
Teacher
MAMBI has launched a special collection for teachers and students. These sets of planners aimed to teachers have a peculiarity, thereās a space dedicated to keeping a record of your students' grades, so you wonāt forget anything.
Dashboard
The weekly view is divided in two, in one page we find the days of the week in an horizontal layout (smaller than in the normal horizontal layout, since in this case it only occupies one of the pages) and in the other page we find several sections to write down our messages, the shopping list, calls or invoices.

Discs
Its iconic discs rings always maintain the same thickness, regardless of the size of the planner, so they are always compatible with any planner or notebook of the brand. The only thing that changes, apart from colour, is their diameter, which allows you to create a more or less thickness notebook or planner. In addition, we can change and customize our agenda by changing the discs colours without having to throw away our planner, tear some sheets or redo a whole notebook from scratch because we simply wanted a makeover for our planner. We just change the rings and problem solved.
The discs are made of two different materials, plastic or metal and come in three different sizes. These sizes correspond to the measures provided by the brand as of 2020, from time to time the brand can make variations:
- S or Mini: its diameter is 1.90 cm (0.75 in)
- M or Medium: its diameter is 3.17 cm (1.25 in)
- XL or Expander: diameter is 4.44 cm (1.75 in)

Accessories
MAMBI had the good idea to develop a series of accessories and complements that adapt perfectly to our planners and their discs, so that we can personalize every part of our planners.
Accessories that can be inserted into our Happy Planners or Happy Notes:
- Dashboards: can be used as dividers or bookmarks.
- Extension sheets and Half Sheets
- Discs or rings
- Envelopes
- Pockets
- Clips
- Rubber bands
- Magnets
- Washi-tapes
- Cases: when attached to our rings we can store our accessories here, and they will not take up any extra space, thus ensuring that we always have them at hand.

Accessory Packs
- Accessory Packs
- Companion accessory pack
- Accessory pack
- Box Kit
The difference between these packs lies in the quantity of products. The Accessory Pack usually includes fewer accessories than the Companion Accessory Pack. The last one, usually includes the same items but in more quantity and more designs, as well as offering items such as bracelets. The Box Kit, allows us to acquire the planner and its accessories at the same time.
Stickers
There are different types of stickers depending on how we want to use them:
- Everyday: very useful, theyāll help us to organize better our days.
- Seasonal: seasonal theme (winter, summer...). Besides, there are stickers perfect for Christmas, trips or those belonging to the teachers' collection.
- Colorful, Paste & Rainbow: very colourful and motivating stickers to write on or see our important tasks more easily.
- Productivity: with plenty space to write, make lists of errands, objectives, write down our trips or important tasks.
- Decorative: not as functional as the above, they are mainly decorative.
Other accessories
- Bag to store our Happy Planner or Happy Notes
- Mug
- Caps
- T-shirts
- Glasses
- Wall and desk calendars
- Punch
