Fact #1: Women love to plan.
Fact #2: Women like to write everything down. Some like to doodle too.
Fact #3: Moleskin planners are classic and adorable while Daycraft Planners are just so.... SMOOTH (Literally. I love running my fingers over the pages of my Daycraft planner. Not kidding.)

Conclusion: Get your woman a Moleskin or Daycraft Planner this Christmas so she can start planning for 2013...in style.

I think Moleskin and Daycraft make the nicest and cleanest planners. They leave room for creativity inside and look professional outside. Their simple, unlike many other planners available out there, and their simplicity is what makes them such chic notebooks.

Moleskin 2013 Limited Edition Planners

For 2013, Moleskin has come out with themed planners, sort of like collectible/ limited edition notebooks. My favorite among the themed planners is the Little Prince planner. I'm a fan of Le Petit Prince by Antoine de Saint- Exupery and I just can't say no to a yellow planner. This planner is perfect for those who adore the story between the prince and his rose, for dreamers, and for women who love all things french. It comes with a free standing calendar and address book insert.

Daycraft 2013 Planners

Daycraft has an executive and a signature diary. What I absolutely LOVE about Daycraft planners is their leather cover and nice, smooth sheets. I know I've said it already but I can't emphasize it enough. The pages are SO smooth; it's like they're calling out to me saying "Pick me! Write on me!" The planners look very professional and are perfect for those climbing the corporate ladder. They come in a variety of colors and color combinations too.
