Planner Clips & Charms
This is called a planner charm. It’s functional to use as a bookmark or to keep the pages flat when you’re taking pictures or writing in the journal, but it’s also a really nice decorative element. Think of it like planner jewelry! If the person you are giving for loves things that look fancy, girly, or just likes decoration in general, you can bet that they would probably appreciate receiving this as a gift.

These pens are my tried-and-true FAVORITE pens for practicing my cursive/calligraphy. They’re made for writing beautiful Chinese calligraphy but they also happen to be WONDERFUL for the hand-lettering or bounce lettering that’s really popular right now. I love using this pen.

This is a mini printer that wirelessly prints from your phone onto sticker paper, using NO ink. I’ve seen lots of people using these little printers to add photos into their bullet journals and planners. Looks like it would be a lot of fun and a great gift. There are a few different brands that make these little printers, so you probably want to do your research and compare before buying. Don’t forget photo paper!

Artist’s Markers
So these markers – A friend of mine keeps showing me examples of how AMAZING of results you can get with them. They are double-sided and very good for blending colors.

(they’re expensive! Here’s another brand that has similarly gorgeous results for half the price…)
Leather Planner Wallet
I think wallets traditionally make great gifts, especially a high-quality leather type that’ll last for years and years. Well, here’s the wallet your planning friend will love. It’s actually a “pocket” size organizer, with rings so you can add in note paper, planner pages, card-holders, or even zip pouches. The “personal” size ones are a bit larger but about the same price.

Cutting Machine
Guys, you might not know what this is, so I’ll explain. It’s a cutting machine. You use it to cut precise shapes out that you’ve designed on the computer. You can use it to make your own stickers! (I seriously want one so bad).
