Well, it was bound to happen but Christmas is a-coming, and the New Year is almost upon us. Almost. Before long we’ll be making New Year resolutions that we probably won’t keep, and popping the champagne. But… let’s not get ahead of ourselves. We need the new diary for 2017 before ANY of that can happen. This is one of my most favourite posts that I write each year, and I excitedly researched and put together this one for you and me. It’s the best dairies for 2017. There’s one for everyone; from cheap to not-so-cheap, from basic to super detailed. Enjoy!

  1. I just got myself the Ban.Do planner (number 7) and absolutely adore it! But I think I would be happy with any of them from this list, they’re all so beautiful. x

  2. Must say though Chantelle, I love a good diary but for those budget conscious people Kmart is on point with diaries this year!! I’ve bought a rose gold planner for $10!!

  3. .. hi Chantelle… I love all the diaries you have here…. I always plan to keep a diary and keep track of all my days doings … but it never happens…. I have given up on them… BUT … if I did keep a diary , I’d choose the Leanne Baker Daily….. sounds perfect… xxxx
    I have a journal beside my bed and it’s still empty a year later….
    The ‘idea’ is more exciting than the ‘doing’ …..
    … Barb xxxx

  4. This is my favourite post of the year!!!! I’ve been hanging out for it!!! Last year I bought the Emily Ley one and loved it, but this year the Erin Condren one looks great! Thanks again – you’re definitely my go-to diary guru!! xx

  5. I too have gone back to a Kikki K for 2017. I had a EC life planner this year and found it too big in end. And it is for the USA lifestyle. (All USA holidays listed) Loved the space available in it to write and tabs, but wanted something smaller for my everyday bag.

  6. Not on your list this year, but last year I used your recommendation of The Master Plan family diary, and it’s the first diary I’ve ever kept all year, and comes with me everywhere. I’ve already started my 2017 Master Plan.

  7. I’ve just ordered the grey planner by Emma Kate! I always check out your guide to the best diaries, it’s become my yearly ritual!

  8. Oh Chantelle, thank you once again. I always look forward to your diary/planner nominations.
    I’ve previously had an Erin Condron (that was one expensive diary that I initially loved but …) and last year bought a Passion Planner. I really loved the colour and style of the EC but it was too big for my handbag (and too American, IYKWIM) and the PP was a great size (compact) and had plenty of space, but in the end I just felt like it so much hard work – though I know if I truly wanted to plan and think and strategise this was the perfect diary – I’m just not that person…

    Hello Emma Kate! What a gorgeous journal planner and EXACTLY what my life needed.
    I’ve ordered the grey planner (though I love, love, love the blush too) and can’t wait for it to arrive.
    Hello planner and journal and creative inspo all rolled into one beautiful space.

  9. Such great choices and I decided to go with your friends amazing Kickstarter journal. You have a very talented friend 🙂

  10. Hi Chantelle,

    I must admit that I was more than a little fascinated to review your list of 2017 diaries. Being a diary addict, I started my own search a couple of weeks ago. I have been scouring online stockists, bookstores and art shops for something that is gorgeous and being a new level of administrative delight to my world (mother, new startup owner, part-time lecturer, volunteer). Until this morning, I had found no pleasure in my diary searches.

    You know that little high you feel as you review the shelves of a new shop, with the sweet anticipation of discovering a new beautifully ideal. Your Emma Kate suggestion not only created the little high, but I am excited to get it into my hands. Watching her kickstarter video was like listening to someone who understands me, it was like she had designed the diary exactly for me. Thank you for the referral, thank you for the review, thank you for saving me from another 2 months of diary shopping exhaustion – Big Love Catharine

  11. Just wondering if you have any advice or tips on making the most of these gorgeous planners? I’ve picked up a grey Emma Kate planner, because listening to her talk about her campaign idea made me think that she was talking directly to me. But… I struggle to stick with my planners from year to year. I start off really well and then tend to just stop. I think it’s because I get overwhelmed with the expectation to make it look amazing, or to keep track of absolutely everything, to write about goals and to do lists and how much water I’ve been drinking! I want something simple, easy, with no expectation… but I also want to try to be more organised… I need help!
