My 3rd Plum Paper Haul!

Plum Paper is one of my all time favorite planner companies (not sponsored, just really like their stuff). They’ve finally been releasing new planner layouts so when I was placing my annual Black Friday order I went a bit overboard! … Although when it comes to stationery, when do I not?

What I bought this time:

Grid Layout

The grid layout would be best suited (I think) to a teacher, student or 9 -5 i.e. people that don’t need a big weekend space.

See my full review of the planner in this post.

If you do need weekend space, try the Me layout (also from Plum Paper, I did a review in this post).

Vertical priorities

I wasn’t going to get this one but after a few readers emailed me requesting a review, I figured may as well add it to the cart!

Love that habit tracker section!

Horizontal priorities

If you’re #teamhorizontal the priorities layout is available in that style too:

It’s impossible for me to pick just one all time favorite planner however this one has made it to my top 5 list for the past couple of years! <3 this layout and order one every year to use to pre-plan.

Horizontal lined with notes A5 size

Since I love the layout so much, I opted to get the A5 size to try out

After becoming increasingly frustrated with the sewn binding and yellowish pages of most dot grid notebooks I opted to make my own (was the same price or cheaper than most of those sewn bound notebooks too!)

Meal Planning Journal

This notebook was only $12 USD so I figured I may as well get that too!

See my review of the notebook in this post.

The layout could easily be converted into a weekly planner by whiting out the B, L, D and snacks titles. The meal prep and plans would make a good project to do list.

Dashboards

I chose 3 dashboards – My Week, My Day and the Teacher Dashboard.

The My Week dashboard turned out to be my favorite but Sunday is slightly smaller than the other days of the week.

The dashboards feel really smooth but they’re not laminate and I’m not sure how well they’d hold up being pulled in and out of the coil a few times. They recommend using a Bic Mark-It Fine point permanent marker or any fine tip dry erase marker and wiping clean with disinfectant wipes.

See my review & how I used the dashboards in this post.

Paperclips

These were free as part of a promotion otherwise I probably wouldn’t have got them. I find butterfly clips are better at holding my place in a planner and they group together all the weeks already gone so much faster to locate the current week. The paperclips are metal so they’re sturdy – just not sure if they’ll actually stay in place.
