There’s no denying that 2020 has been the year that none of us expected, and given the ongoing uncertainty we’ve all been facing, it’d be totally understandable if you were wondering whether investing in a 2021 diary is worth the hassle.
But as dedicated on-paper planners who can’t quite bring ourselves to make the switch to digital scheduling, we’re putting our faith in 2021 being better and brighter, and making plans (however small) to look forward to throughout it.

And it would seem we’re not alone – everyone from Liberty to Papier is unveiling collections of seriously beautiful 2021 diaries that are cheering just because of their covers, even if you don’t have anything to write inside it just yet.
So whether you always put a diary on your Christmas wishlist each year, or are planning to invest in a luxury little book for yourself, we’ve edited together some of the loveliest options we’ve found on the high street, with prices starting from as little as £7.
From hardback to leather-bound, personalised and more, we hope you find a little mood-lifter to get you set up for the next 12 month below.
