I’ve been in the paper planning community now for 5 years, and compared to when I first joined the world of paper planning to today, planning has evolved enormously. So if someone is new to the community today, the amount of options out there can be completely overwhelming.

Even more, with all the perfectly staged planner layouts using weekly sticker kits that can cost as much as the planner itself, amongst the carefully curated pictures all over Facebook and Instagram. And being completely honest, most of us, myself included, are guilty of this.

Here is my ultimate list of paper planners, stationery items, accessories, storage solutions and planner sticker shops.



  • Paper Planners

The variety of paper planners on the market these days are endless. You have daily planners, weekly planners, monthly planners, seasonal planners, fitness planners, blog planners, mom planners and the list just goes on. Not only are the planner options endless, many different planners have many different color and layouts styles To choose from. Though this is good, but if your new it’s super intimidating.

Especially when you are new and have no idea what to look for in a planner. Yes some planners are made way better then others, and pictures can be very deceiving. Some high priced planners are totally worth the money, while others are not.

That’s why I always say, if a Planner you are currently using doesn’t work for you, definitely experiment with another.





Here are some of my favorite paper planners.



1• Erin Condren Vertical Neutral Life Planner

The Erin Condren Life Planner is my main everyday planner. You can choose from colorful or neutral, vertical layout, hourly layout and horizontal layout. I feel the paper quality is the best out there, not because I love Erin Condren but because this is so true. They are also super versatile being the covers are removable and able to be personalized.

The Erin Condren Life Planner retails at $60 and up (more depending on add-on features)

2• The Simplified Planner by Emily Ley

The Simplified Planner is exactly like its name… Simple. The daily planner comes coiled with a dated monthly calendar, with daily pages in between. When you first open the Emily Ley Simplified Planner there are pages called Prep Work Pages. These pages are great for planning out your goals for the year so you can go back and reference them. A newer feature is the bound weekly planner.

The Simplified Planner retails between $40-$60.

The Inkwell Press Planner is another high quality paper planner with amazing paper. The Inkwell Press comes in classic and flex coiled style. A newer feature, Disc Bound with inserts.

The Inkwell Press Planner retails at $59.

4• The Day Designer

The Day Designer is technology one of the first original daily planners. The Day Designer comes in a large styled coil and mini coiled. Also, you can get the day designer now in a A5 Ring Bound style with daily and or weekly inserts.

5• Laura Casey Power Sheets

You still have your month on two pages, super sturdy laminated tabs, back note pages, sticker sheets and double pocket folder just like the original Erin Condren Life Planner.

  • Sticker Shops, Dashboards, Dividers & Planner Insert Shops

When you first discover the world of paper planning, the amount of sticker shops out there has quadrupled compared to the early days of planning. And It’s totally normal to buy all the stickers (like I and most other older planners have) until you find your planner groove, as I like to call it. You will eventually find your main-go to shops.



1• Krissyanne Designs

Whether or not you are a no white space planner, white space planner or minimal planner, Krissyanne Designs is your one stop shop. You will find full kits, icons, typography and so on. Not only is Kristin and Jesus super cool, their Facebook Group is kind and supportive. Prices are great and customer service is the best ever!

Make sure to buy a MicroPerm pen (permanent), sharpie (no sharpie pens), or any permanent marker/pen for that matter. Since her stickers are made of vinyl, you don’t want your ink to smear. Best part they are removable:)

2• Wild Summer Designs

Wild Summer Designs is another favorite of mine. She carries a variety of different type planner sticker weekly kits among monthly planner kits. Her stickers are premium matte and you get so much for your money, the quality is fantastic And shipping is fast.
Use the code Wild40 for 40% off your order.

3• Avalon and Ninth

Another one of my main - go to shops, Avalon and Ninth has a lot of Weekly Sticker Kits among doodles, sticker storage albums and typography.
Her stickers are high quality, premium matte sticker sheets with reasonable prices and fast shipping. I love her color combinations as well, they are truly unique.

4• The Coffee Monsterz Co.

The Coffee Monster Co has super cute Emoti Doodles. You will find an Emoti for anything you need to put in your planner. Among Emotis, Helen sells weekly and monthly sticker kits, doodles, sticker booklets and pins. These stickers are soooo ADORABLE. Make sure to join her Facebook Group for new releases being they usually sell out immediately.


5• Once More With Love

Once More With Love and The Coffee Monster Co have many similarities between each other. Though Once More With Loves are a little different. Both shops have done collaborations through the years. Yes they may be similar, but they are very unique and different. She carries weekly kits, cute emojis, Washi, flair pins and much more. This is another must try shop.

6• Lets Plan It

Lets Plan It is as unique as they come. Her weekly kits are freaking adorable and her Cora Characters come in many different varieties and sizes. Cora Blogs, Cleans, Plans, Curses, YouTubes and so on. Cora comes in one color, black and white and can be colored in with Copic Markers to make it look like a stamp! Lastly, I love the large bubble typography stickers. I also color these with Copic Markers.
Lets Plan It has high quality stickers, reasonable prices and excellent customer service.

7• Dear Lily Designs

Dear Lilly Designs was one of the first stencil shops I ever ordered from. I love that her stencils are credit card size and come in many shapes and trackers. They are punched in the top corner so you can store them on a large ring if you wanted too. Her stencils are super sturdy and won’t tear like some others.

8• Love Cynthia

Love Cynthia is my main go to shop for adorable clear stamps. Her stamps are called Happy Girls, you will find every and any stamp for any task on hard or occasion you need. Her stamps are high quality and won’t tear (if you clean them that is, just like any other clear stamp). The prices are reasonable being you get a good variety of stamps on one sheet.
Stamping & Coloring with Copics are great tools for anxiety and stress, you need to give it a try if you haven’t already.

9• Sew Much Crafting

Sew Much Crafting sells printed and shipped planner inserts for all your Ring Bound Planners, Happy Planners and Travelers Notebooks. I’ve personally been ordering from Sew Much Crafting now for well over 4 years and will never go astray.

Her paper quality is the best out there and her inserts are super functional. Shipping is fast, the prices are great and customer service is fantastic.


10• Annie Plans Printables

Annie Plans Printables is a online printable planner insert shop. If you have good paper on hand, such as the one I mentioned above, this is your shop. You will find any kind of insert for any type of planner within her shop. She also does many collaborations with other great shop owners
