Paper diaries for 2027

Paper diaries: your best ally for getting back into the swing of things

After the summer holidays, September marks a ‘new start to the year’ for many people. It’s time to get organised, set new habits, and re-establish or build a routine. And, although we now have a wealth of apps and digital resources at our disposal, a paper diary is perfect for mindful planning, without relying on batteries or internet connections.

What’s more, writing by hand is a fantastic way to organise your thoughts and improve your concentration; it helps you free up some of your mental load and visualise your day-to-day life very easily. Spending a few minutes organising your week, setting priorities, and allocating tasks brings peace of mind and a sense of order.

On the other hand, a paper diary is perfect for the most creative minds. You can add notes, drawings, clippings, and all sorts of details that document your day-to-day life, or even personalise it with stickers or accessories.

There are as many types of diaries as there are people, and when choosing one, you’ll need to consider aspects such as size, design, material, and the type of layout—whether it’s one page per day, weekly, or even monthly—or whether it’s dated or undated to best suit your needs.

A variety of diaries for 2027

On our website, you’ll find a wide variety of diaries in all sorts of styles: patterned, plain, leather, fabric, paper… As well as countless accessories such as covers, bookmarks, rings, stickers, pockets and everything else you might need.

If your style is eye-catching and carefree, Happy Planner is perfect for you. The cover designs are striking and colourful, and its practical ring-bound system allows you to add, remove or move pages without damaging the whole structure in a matter of seconds. These planners are also ideal for fostering creativity. They’re available in different sizes, from Mini to Big (A4 size), the favourite among teachers.

A planner to suit every style.

If, on the other hand, your style is more understated and minimalist, Moleskine or Leuchtturm1917 are a safe bet. They’re made from high-quality materials, with plain covers or art-inspired designs. Their timeless aesthetic suits all kinds of users, from personal use to more professional settings. They are a benchmark in the world of premium stationery for the most discerning customers who want an elegant, durable and functional planning tool. They also come in a wide variety of formats, ranging from different sizes and colours to hardback or softcover options.

And for the more adventurous amongst you, we have Traveler’s Company, the Japanese brand recently added to our catalogue. Their leather notebooks are designed to accompany you for many years wherever you go, developing a unique character with use. Simply replace the inner refills once they’re full. Their philosophy invites us to appreciate the beauty of the passage of time and to value fine materials through a design based on functional minimalism – everything has a purpose. You can choose between Regular Size (22 x 12 cm) or the smaller Passport Size (13.4 x 10 cm).

Its high-quality brass fittings will be the perfect finishing touch to give your diary a classic style.

Create your personalised diary.

If you’re looking for a diary that’s 100 per cent tailored to your style and needs, you have the option to design it just the way you like it. It will probably take a bit longer, but the result will undoubtedly be well worth it.

You can choose a notebook with blank pages and organise them as you see fit, adding all the sections you need. Using a notebook also means you can use it as a diary as well as a planner. And if you opt for a high-quality one, you’ll have a durable planner without compromising on a fully personalised design.

Moleskine and Leuchtturm1917 both offer notebooks that are perfect for creating your own personalised planner. The former offers a light weight feel and a clean design; the latter features details perfect for organisation, such as numbered pages, an index and a wide-opening layout, as well as high-quality paper.

Paperblanks notebooks are perfect for those who value aesthetics and are looking for something beautiful as well as practical. Their covers feature stunning artistic reproductions, with embossing, metallic prints and textures. A treat for the senses. Paperblanks uses Smyth-sewn binding, typical of high-quality books, with acid-free paper sourced from sustainably managed forests.

MD Paper offers what are considered to be the finest notebooks for handwriting. Their minimalist design focuses on providing exceptional paper with very little show-through, perfect for fountain pens, rollerball pens or liquid ink. Their binding allows the notebook to open almost 180 degrees. You can choose from lined, dotted, squared or plain paper.

Create your own diary from scratch!

Although if you’re into scrapbooking, you’re probably thinking of creating your own planner from scratch: from the cover and the inner pages right through to the binding. To do this, you’ll find various options on the website so you can choose what suits you best, whether it’s rigid covers made from laminated cardboard or more flexible ones that can withstand being jostled around in your bag, laminated using the Minty Laminator.

For the binding, thanks to the Minty Duo Binding Machine, you can choose between disc rings – perfect for adapting your planner as the year goes on – or conventional rings, with a professional-looking finish.

Planner hole punches are also a good option for disc rings, and 30-hole binding machines allow you to easily create a simple, lightweight planner with colourful plastic click rings.

Go for paper

In a world where we’re surrounded by screens, organising yourself with a paper diary means choosing a more thoughtful and personalised way of structuring your time and your ideas. Setting aside a little time each day to write down your priorities will help you see everything more clearly and be more aware of your goals. And at the end of the year, that notebook will also serve as a record of your life and your thoughts.
