selection of 2016 diaries | H is for Home

2015 is almost gone – just a fortnight’s worth of sand left in the timer. I don’t know about you, but with the proliferation of tech gadgets and apps around, I still like having the physicality of pen & paper to record certain things.

Every year, I carry over everyone’s birthdays from the previous year’s diary to the following year’s. I love to flip through the pages to remind myself of what I’d been up to during the prior 12 months. The work I had on, the deadlines that I had to meet, the weekends away, the people who came to visit…

I’ve been searching for a bright one for next year – orange being my favoured colour. Here’s what I came up with for 2016 diaries – budget, mid-range and deluxe.

  1. Panama collection orange 2016 Portobello diary in cross-grain lambskin: £180, Smythson
  2. ‘Colour a Month’ daily planner: £31.99, Moleskine
  3. Letts Two Tone A5 week to view diary: £9.49, Filofax

2015 is only a couple of days away, have you got yourself a planner for the new year yet? Do you rely on a calendar, year planner, journal or diary? Whichever you’re after, you’ll find something to suit in this week’s Etsy List.

From a beautiful set of letterpress coasters (who doesn’t love a multi-purpose calendar that’s still going to be useful in 2016?) to font-tastic framed artworks; an upcycled classic children’s book to a personalised leather-bound journal. My favourite of the bunch has to be the miniature typewriter desk calendar, it’s instantly downloadable and a snip at less than a fiver!
