Burde Diary 2025 Doodle | Space for Creativity | 21x15 A5 Format | 12 Month Diary | Monthly & Yearly Overview

Confession - I can't resist a planner or a journal. And I admit that I was seduced by the funky cover of this 2025 Doodle Diary from Burde. Was a little bit (argghhh) when I received it and realised that the days on the cover are out of order - Monday, Wednesday, Tuesday, Saturday, Friday, Sunday, Thursday - or some other variation depending on how you read it. If I had realised I probably wouldn't have picked it and then I think I would have been missing out because inside it's quite a nifty planner.So, let's go. First things first - the elastic loop could be a little bit tighter. Open the cover - removable plastic ruler bookmark, nice and sturdy, should last the year. A sheet of stickers that I will never use. Title page - Doodle - with a space for me to doodle. Double spread year to view for 2025 with doodle spaces at the bottom. Then four pages for 2025 months - three months to a page, ideal for writing in appointments and birthdays.The planner itself begins Week 50 9th December 2024 - I love this, I love that you can use it for Christmas organising now. The weekly spread pages are as shown on the product page. Each day gets the same amount of space. There's a doodle space for the week, space for To Do and any goals you have for the week. The diary ends January 4th 2026. Then you have a month to view section (four pages) for 2026. Some dotted and lined pages at the back for notes and a small pocket on the last page. I think the diary section is beautifully though out - especially if you like to doodle - and the paper is lovely to write on.It's spiral bound which means it will lay flat when you're using it and you can flip the front cover to the back to use as a support if writing outside.The item I received looks exactly like that shown in the video on the product page - which even gives you ideas for what to do with the stickers.Current price of 9.99 feels like a great buy.Overall - really nice diary for 2025.

This has a lot of different ways to plan within this diary from yearly and monthly to weekly. It is nice that there is lots of space for creativity and personalisation. Makes a change from the ‘bog standard’ uninteresting versions.Within the diary there are plenty of areas for doodles and ready-made priority lists. There are stickers and a ruler included which can help ‘zuzz’ up any part of it. Any loose bits of paper can be stored in the pocket within the back page.Being spiral bound the diary can lie flat. There is an elastic attached to keep the whole thing together when not being used. If you are someone who likes to ‘colour’, the design on the front can be enhanced with your own choices. As this 2025 diary actually starts in December 2024 it helps with Christmas planning too.All round this diary would suit work or social planning. The phrase on the front might be a reminder -‘ promise little – do much’ and in boring meetings has the added bonus of ‘doodle space’! Nice for a personal purchase or for a gift.

I recently got this well-made journal, which includes some cute little stickers and speech bubbles/comment boxes throughout to jot my notes down. I'm hoping this little book helps me to be more organized and achieve my goals for 2025.

Remember when Apple brought “stickers” to messages - this has real stickers….If you want to prise your teen away from their phone give them one of these as a diary/journal. All the modern phrases, but with a wonderfully personal touch.My copy resides in the garage for service reminders, memory joggers, measurements and ideas for future projects and when I am free to start them.Oh and it looks good too. I love it.

With a page of stickers + a 19 cm long plastic-type ruler included, this is a different diary/planner, with a thick board cover front & back. It benefits from some blank & dotted pages for further thoughts, doodles or notes, just before the expanding paper pocket at the back.Sturdily metal-type spiral bound, the elastic close is through the inside back cover, via a ‘bootlace’ (2 holes), so could be removed, if preferred.Inside it is a good quality white paper with a slight ‘tooth’, but I find it easy to write on with my favourite gel pens, with just a touch of bleed-through should I linger a while.It begins with a 2025 planner and ends with one for 2026.The print is quite pale throughout.‘Key dates’, including the ‘Saint’ days are included on the relevant date but are in a relatively small print so act as a gentle reminder rather than standing out or reducing the writing space by too much.Each month begins with a planner on the left-hand page, but it is quite neat so small handwriting is required, or perhaps, the aforementioned self-adhesive stickers can come into play.Just the date and day (not the month) are shown at the top of each double-page spread that runs Monday-Sunday. The ‘Week Number’ is included at the bottom of the right-hand page.Relatively weighty in hand, the one I received measures roughly 16.5 cm (including the spiral) x 21.25 cm x 1.75 cm. It lies flat wherever you are in the diary/planner, and can easily double-up when space is limited on the 17:36There is no pen loop, but I find that a regular-sized pen fits down the spiral binding; the shirt-clip keeping it in situ (image below refers).The barcode label on the back cover cheapens the overall look (if gifting) IMO, but is easily removed without leaving sticky residue, in my experience.I like it...it is that little bit different.

The Creative Diary: Doodle by Burde makes planning an absolute joy! The vibrant, playful designs spark creativity while staying practical with day-specific layouts, a yearly overview, and space for goals and to-dos. The removable ruler and paper pocket are genius additions for staying organized. I love the extra pages for jotting down dreams and lists, plus the dotted pages are perfect for doodling or notes. Compact yet spacious, this diary is my new go-to for 2025!
