Personal Planner is an online website to create your own personalised planner, wall planner and notebook. They are based in Sweden and ship worldwide. I had created this earlier this month and they took over 2 weeks to print and send over. To create your own personalised planner, go to http://www.personal-planner.co.uk and click onto the Create Your Own.
A new window will open up. Next select the size of your planner: Small (£14.95), Medium (£17.95), Large (£21.95) or A5 (£19.95). I had created a large planner which is 22 cm by 14 cm which costs £21.95 plus £2.95 postage. The wizard approach then steps you through to selecting your Front Cover. There are a wide range of options to choose from. I went for a simple design instead of uploading my own photo, or using patterns or design theme from the store. You are also allowed to change the text colours, the alignment, choose the month you would like to start and the colour of your elastic band.
My pink bird design’s front cover is made from a thin gloss paper and it comes with a thick matt plastic cover to protect both the front and back. The elastic band came as loose which is very simple to fix onto the cover on your own. The next step allows you to choose the Inlay Design where I could select the language (English, Danish, Austrian, Australian and Germany). I then chose the writing space from ruled, stripes or with timetable with additional options of weather, workout, personal dates and design theme on spread. The pages are made from good quality paper with excellent print quality. I have selected British English languages and it comes with the dates of the bank holidays, birthdays of the royal family and even tells me when is the Chinese New Year!
Under the Modules step, I could add more options below the calendar with preschool, workout etc. I left this blank in mine. The Back Pages step is where you get to choose to insert the overview of the year, blanked pages or ruled etc. There are so many options to choose from! I chose to add a map on my planner. I love the map option as they also list the capitals and major cities for many countries. It is very detailed! Lastly, you can choose to insert your personal details or write a poem on the Owner Info Page! I chose to include my email address, Twitter ID and Facebook page. It also comes with a clear plastic sleeve and a ruler.
This is quite a thick planner and the size is small enough to carry them around in your handbag/backpack. This is very unique and printed to a very high standard. I much prefer my planner to those boring planners that you can find in the bookshop. This has an added wow factor. The price is very reasonable considering this is personalised and that you are able to add on so many options.

Mine starts next Monday for 2014, but I’ve already added to it 🙂
