How the A5 gift planner makes giving feel easy
Note each birthday and anniversary one time on the occasions pages, where every page covers three months and each gift gets a box to tick once it is sorted. Two pages of ideas per person keep their hobbies, sizes, favorite color and scent, three possible gifts and past presents, so the right choice is waiting when the day arrives.
A budget for the year split by occasion, a monthly savings table and a month by month plan with buy-by dates keep spending relaxed. The log of gifts given follows each one from bought to wrapped to handed over. Afterward, the thank-you tracker and some note starters make cards simple. Mirrored margins mean the pages open as proper spreads in your binder.
Who will love it
- Planner users with an A5 six ring, a half letter ring binder or a junior disc system who want gift pages beside their calendar
- Thoughtful givers who overhear a perfect idea in spring and want it saved until the holidays
- Large families with plenty of birthdays, anniversaries and holidays to keep track of
- Anyone hoping for calmer gift spending, with a budget for the year and money set aside each month
Design and sizes
- Elegant and minimal: white pages and soft blush pink accents that use very little ink
- Comfortable margins, so a home printer will not trim any edge
- Portrait pages in A5 (148 by 210 mm) and Half Letter (5.5 by 8.5 inches), with print-and-cut sheets for everyday A4 or Letter paper
- No dates, so you can begin in whatever month and year you like
- Mirrored margins: odd pages get a 14 mm binding edge on the left, even pages on the right, with 8 mm along the outside
- Lines spaced 6.5 mm or wider and text no smaller than 8.5 pt, so a small page is still easy to fill
- A dashed middle line and small ticks on the print-and-cut sheets let one cut give you two pages
- Use it in rings, on a clipboard or coil bound at a copy shop
