Journal Love
When I thought about putting a gift guide together, I knew it had to be an ultimate gift guide for journal lovers!
I honestly think my obsession with writing stems from a love of all things stationary.
I’m constantly buying new stationary, pens, notebooks and journals.
Now I didn’t have to look far to realise that I am far from alone in this love stationary, bullet journal’s and notebooks. It would seem that wherever you look on the internet, it is filled with us not so secret stationary lovers.
The popularity of my Journal prompts, prove that there are a lot of us that choose to keep a journal, or long to start one.
My Christmas wish list is full of it as well. In fact as I have bought for myself from the boy, I already know I have some lovely notebooks and a journal awaiting me. But I can always make room for more of course!
I do think all of these items are perfect for anyone with a love of Journalling or indeed writing in any form. Or of course the stationary lover! We are a special bunch.
An ultimate gift guide for journal lovers
Bullet Journal from Hema
This lovely bullet journal has dotted pages which are perfect for a creative bullet journal. It costs £5 and is great quality. I can’t wait to unwrap this and get stuck in! (Yes I bought it for myself!)
52 Lists for Happiness from Amazon
We all love a list right? I mean judging by the response to Journal prompts for the list lovers I’d say a list is very popular.
What a great combination, happiness and lists! This book comes in other topics as well, plus it looks real pretty!
Fineline – Stabilo point 88 wallet from Amazon
These pens were introduced to me as school marking pens. Such a waste!!
These pens are PERFECT for writing, they are lightweight, dry quickly and come in so many different colours.
I’ve used mine so much I need replacements!
Bullet Journal set from Amazon
If, like me you’re not terribly artistic, this set which includes templates is perfect! It even includes the pens, although you can never have enough of those!
Gold washi tape set
Washi tape is the perfect way to add a bit of colour, differentiate pages and themes and also for those who haven’t got time to pretty it up themselves.
There are almost too many to choose from on Amazon and EBay.
Self Discovery Journal from Amazon
Of course my Journal Prompts are always available and I have a full years planned out for 2020 but if you’d rather something that is all together already then this could be a good option for you.
Blog Planner
Now just to make it clear, this is basically a note pad with prompts for different social media sites, making notes of your blog posts and the stats for each one month by month.
That said I love it, but having seen some reviews people were expecting it to be full of ideas for posts and top tips. This is for your data.
I like having somewhere to keep all this info for future reference and a more personal take on google analytics.
Do you keep a journal or would you be tempted to start?
If you do, what are you must have items? Because as you can see I need more stationary in my life!!
Aww I love the concepts behind these books, especially the 52 lists for happiness 🙂 Anything that makes you stop and take the time to appreciate the little things is a winner with me 🙂
I totally agree, I try to make time for that each day x
I’ve ordered myself a Paulo Coelho journal. Want to start 2020 on a more positive note and stay unspired throughout. I have the same pens on my wishlist though. Maybe for my birthday.
Good idea, I’m not sure I can wait until July for my Birthday x
Definitely helpful. Great gift ideas with wide range of items. 😀
Thank you Yuri x
Woah! This is my wish list I have saved for 2020! It feels great when you resonate that well! Thank you so much.
Enjoy x x
I keep seeing that blue bullet journal everywhere. I’m taking it as a sign that I need it. Thanks!
You definitely do!
I love the self discovery journal. I might get that for myself to use in 2020!
Yes I think if it doesn’t appear then I will treat myself x
I love fine line pens! No matter how many colours it’s never enough, and the gold tape is really pretty

They are just so lovely yo write with x
These are great ideas, I’m not so much a journaler but I know someone who would love these gifts.
I’d love to get into bullet journalling but I never have time!! Like you though, I buy lots of stationary!! Love it all.
I think I own more stationary than I will ever have time for x x
I can so relate. I love all things stationary. Thanks for sharing.
I love journaling. In fact I just recently published ‘The Ultimate Happiness Journal’ – would love for you to review if interested. Thanks for sharing.
I would love that!
Well I know for sure by reading this post you’re certainly not getting a Kindle for Christmas 😂 Thanks for sharing your favourite journals and stationary Claire Bear! (did I just day that 🤔)
Johnny | Johnny’s Traventures
Awww Johnny Boy! That’s it now we’ve both got nicknames I think that means we are blogging besties!
Love these ideas! 🙂 Washi tapes are my favorite. I just don’t know what to do with my collection now that I am using a digital bullet journal. Also good to see the 52 lists book on your list!
Oh i like the idea of a digital one, very clever x x
I love pens too! When you find the perfect pen and it runs out of ink, it can sometimes feel like your best friend just betrayed you. I also like your journal ideas.
Oh my god!! That is exactly what it is like x x
Ooooh I love stationary too. I used to spend all of my pocket money on new pens and rubbers as a child. This is a lovely list.
Thank you Sabina. I was the same, thankfully I never grew out of it x
I love all of these recommendations, and I also LOVE journals. I recently told about 2 people the other day that I can never have too many journals 🙂 Thanks for the post!
Thank you Marie, I have so many that I haven’t even opened yet but I still buy more x
I love all things stationery as well! I just bought a new 2020 planner and I can’t wait to use it. And those pens are my favorite also. I love fine tipped pens.
Me too, i love them x x
I totally agree to all of these thanks for sharing
I always start a journal and then it sort of dies a death. I think that is why I blog as I am more focused on that LOL but I am a sucker for a journal
I have a love/hate relationship with writing. My dyslexia makes writing far more difficult than I’d like, and my handwriting sucks, so I’m always ashamed of people seeing anything I’ve wrote. But at the same time, write is good for process my past, allows me to be create, and I can create stuff that’ll replace my terrible memory
Oooh, I’m a true stationery addict… and have created my very own frankenplanner for 2020… 🙂
These are really great ideas. And I shoud perhaps pop them on my wishlist too. 🙂
I hope someone treats you x x
I don’t keep a journal, but I love notebooks and stationary. Stabilo is my favourite brand of pens.
This is a lovely list for people like me who love to journal I’m definitely ordering a couple of these items you suggested.
Enjoy Louise x x x
It’s a great recommendation.
I love this Stabilo point 88 wallet from Amazon.
They are such lovely pens x
I love journals, I have a whole shelf full of them just waiting to be used. What often happens is that I end up using a .50 cent notebook tp scribble in instead, lol. Love this wish list–lots of great gift ideas for journal lovers!
I recently switched back to a regular planner after using a bullet journal for a few years, but that washi tape is enough to make me convert back to bullet journaling. I never get tired of looking at journal accessories.
I got those pens for my son! He loves them and doesn’t allow his little brother to touch them.
One of my goals this upcoming year is to try my hand at some bullet journaling, I’m super excited – I’m dying to get ahold of some pens and journals for it, but forcing myself to use the beautiful ones I already have instead. That said, I love that self-discovery book, will be looking into it, thanks for putting this list together!
Thank you Ariana. I just got so many wonderful notebooks and journals, I honestly don’t know where to start x
I’ve been trying for years (3-4) to use any types of journal/planner and I have failed. I guess I didn’t have the proper motivation for it before. I still really want to try to use one. I’ll see what I can do 🙂 This is a great list of things to acquire as well.
I love journals! I have been seeing more and more prompt type journals in stores and I am also so tempted to buy but never do. Maybe I should do that for New Year’s. Hmm! Writing has been such great therapy for me.
It really helps me as well. Its great for the soul x x x
Stabilo pens are LIFE! I love that they are fine point but don’t bleed through the page. I’m also loving the BIC Intensity pens for planning.
And I may need to give that Blog Planner a try because I am AWFUL about keeping up with my stats. Thanks for the list!
Oh I love the Bic ones!!
I LOVE items like this – it adds a bit extra fun to journaling!!
It really does x x
Omg I LOVE these!! I think I need them all!!
Hehehe! Me too! x x
I love to journal. I usually go through 2-3 per year. I’ve never used a bullet journal I will check those out.
My Kinda Gal!
Love the ideas!
Thank you x
I like anything inspiring and all things positive so I especially like the 52 Lists for Happiness. I rarely buy notebooks though simply because I am lazy when it comes to hand writing. But when I buy them, I definitely look for something that motivates me. 😊
It looks fab that book, I do love notebooks. I was going to photograph mine for this post but realised I had a crazy amount and was actually a bit embarrassed x
Yes I keep a journal. I love this list and want the 52 lists to happiness book! I definitely have a moleskin journal on mine:)
Oh lovely, I hope Santa is kind to you x
You can never have too many journals – or pens.
Oh if I could LOVE this comment I would!
Such a great list! I could really use and enjoy the blog planner!
Oh it’s brilliant! I’m really enjoying using x
I love a journal so I now want to buy them all! You can’t beat a new journal especially turning to that first page to write in it for the first time.
I have so many but I can’t stop buying x
