If you have seen my Father’s Day gift guide, you will have already heard of Toad Diaries*. For those of you that haven’t, Toad Diaries sell personalised diaries, planners and journals. I love personalised products and thought this would be a perfect gift for D to use at work.
I’m not going to lie, I was very excited putting the diary together, when I saw everything I could have, I was like a kid in a sweet shop. You have the option of hardcover and wirebound, I chose hardcover. You can choose what format you have, I decided on a week to view diary with notes on the other side in case he needs to write anything extra. There are various options though include different week views, academic layouts, appointments and fitness. There is also the option of which month to start the diary on, I chose June as this is when D’s birthday is as well as Father’s Day. There is an abundance of cover choices (over 50) including molton lava, city scapes, flowers and animals. You can also personalise the front and back cover with a message.
The website itself is easy to navigate and when you make each choice the book changes on the screen so you know what your diary is going to look like. The only downside is that it doesn’t change when you put your personalised writing on but that isn’t really a major issue as it confirms your message before you place the order. The quality of the diary is great and I highly recommend them as a gift or if you are just looking for a diary or planner for yourself.
