Now time to enjoy this gift guide for journal lovers!
Journals
I personally love the bullet journal brand, and have had one of their books for a few years now. There are color options in black, blue, and blush. (I have the blush pink version!)
There are 206 pages with a faux leather soft cover material, dotted and numbered pages, and sheet size medium A5 (8.27 inches height, 5.71 inches wide)
This notebook also comes with 3 ribbon bookmarks built in, sticker sheets, and the “BoJo” (bullet journal) Pocket Guide!
I use fine point pens/markers (also listed below) and they never bleed through the pages.
There are so many travelers sets to choose from but this is the version I own!
I first bought this notebook set and the refills when I was planning my wedding. They were absolutely perfect to keep in my bag on the go, in the end tables and nightstand. I also gave some as a gift to my mom and mother-in-law.
These little books are great to keep with you whereever you are, even on the go. The dimensions are 4.72 inches width x 7.87 inches height.
They come with lined pages, business/appointment card holders, and 2 refills.
The best part is you can tie them together in the faux leather binding.
Here is a pack of 3 refills that go with the travelers notebook listed above.
You can slide them in to the notebook cover, or remove them at any time.
Journaling Kit Options
This journal kit is perfect for getting started with creative writing, diary entries, or creating a junk journal! I have this set and love all the accessories!
This book I frequently use in my Journal with Me Videos.
There are a variety of colored notebooks to choose from- blue, black, gray, teal, orange, pink, and yellow. The kit includes fine point colorful pens, envelopes, washi tape, stickers, and stencils.
The size of the journal is 5.8 inches wide and 8.3 inches height, with 192 dotted pages, a pen holder, inner pocket, and elastic closure.

This is an additional journal kit with very similar features and accessories. I bought this set for my sister for Christmas one year!
The notebook style is a little more feminine that the previous journal listed above.
Creative Crafty Supplies for Journal Lovers!
I recommend these markers for any of the bullet journal options!
These pens come in a variety of colors and are perfect for both writing and drawing, and the right size for stencils.
In my experience they also do not bleed through pages, so you can fill your notebook pages both front and back.
Fine Point Colored Markers Link
(Craft paper, stationary, stickers, and embellishments)
So Recollections you may recognize if you are a Michael’s Craft Store shopper. But they also have products listed on Amazon.
I tend to buy and use their journal size cardstock paper packets and stickers.
If you are familiar with my Journal with Me videos on YouTube, a lot of their products can be seen in the pages I create!

Washi Tape
Okay, I don’t know if washi tape has always been around or if it really is a new fun trend, but either way, I love it!
Endless colors, patterns, styles, designs, thin washi tape, thick washi tape, polka dots, stripes, characters, holidays.
You name it, there’s a washi tape for it!
Some I have purchased, others I’ve been gifted or received with journal kits. But I had to share at least some options here:
Most of all my absolute favorite items for journaling are STICKERS!
Maybe that was a little too much excitement but they really are a fun way to be creative, especially for folks like me who can’t draw anything well, ever LOL
The sticker packets I use the most for personal diaries and in my
Journal with Me videos is sticker bundles from Recollections.
There are many options to chose from on Amazon:

Such cute journal options! I am a daily journal-er but usually write on a Google doc to access anywhere vs. a physical journal but I do sometimes miss the physical journal.
Thank you for reading! I completely understand! I spend so much time on a computer for both work and the blog, so I enjoy the pen and paper feel after a long day.
Nice journal ideas. Thank you for sharing ๐
