There are many planners out there, it can be hard to find the best planner for you and your budget. This list of popular cute planners can help. This post has been sponsored by Clever Fox Planner, all thoughts and opinions are my own.

I’m a very forgetful person. I’m also not naturally organized. Having a planner is essential for me. I’ve tried so many throughout the years.

Over the last couple, I’ve really gotten into planning as not just a way to stay organized and remember things but also as a creative outlet. I love to use cute planner stickers and decorate my planner.

I’m currently using an Erin Condren LifePlanner and a Happy Planner. I use both in different ways and both are really great planners. 

There are so many popular planner options out there it can be a bit overwhelming. They also range in price a lot and it can be hard to find the right one for your budget.

Since I’ve spent so much time researching planners I wanted to share some of the best ones I’ve found. You don’t have to spend a lot of money to get a good planner.

The Best Cute Planners for Every Budget

Bullet Journal

Bullet journaling is the cheapest option because all you really have to have is a pen and notebook. You can use one you already have on hand or buy a cute one very inexpensively. This is also a very popular option right now. It can be really simple or some people create amazing, fancy bullet journals. The most popular bullet journal is the Leuchtturm hardcover journal.

The Happy Planner 

Happy Planners come in three sizes mini, classic, and big. The planners start at $24. I've used a classic size many years. It’s a disc-bound planner so you can move the pages and add your own. This was a big draw for me. They have some fun themes including Disney planners. They are also available at Michaels where you can usually get a 40% off coupon.

PetitePlanners

The PetitePlanners from Erin Condren is a folio planner system, like a traveler's notebook. You can customize what notebooks you use in your planner making it highly customizable. The planners start at just $14.50.

Clever Fox Planner 

The Clever Fox planner comes in a lot of colors including pink, black, orange, and very soon also turquoise, blue, rose, and violet. It’s non-dated so you can start at any time. I love the built-in features to help with goal setting and habit tracking. It starts at just $25.

PurpleTrail

I learned about PurpleTrail recently and really like their planners. I got one of the weekly planners and plan to use it a bit differently than my other planner. It’s a completely customizable planner.

Bloom Daily Planner

The Bloom Daily Planner is designed to help you de-stress and be creative. It features blank pages for sketching, drawing, or whatever you’d like. It’s very colorful and fun.

inkWELL Press 

The InkWell Press daily planner is one I heavily considered before choosing an Erin Condren planner. I really like the goal-setting features included in the planner. They also have weekly options.

Simplified Planner

Simplified Planners are beautiful and very high quality. There are daily and weekly options and both are very popular. Every detail is well thought out down to the keepsake box the planner comes in.

Day Designer

Day Designer is a beautiful spiral-bound daily planner. They have cheaper options for monthly and weekly planners, starting at just $14.99. The daily planner is their flagship item though and what they are known for.

Erin Condren LifePlanner

The Erin Condren LifePlanner is a big favorite in the planner community. They have started a lot of trends for other planners. The covers are customizable and they have a few layout styles. The teacher planner is also very popular.

At-A-Glance Planners

At-A-Glance has a lot of different styles of planners with some starting at under $10 making it a very budget friendly option.

With all of these great planner options, you are sure to find one that works for you. Don’t forget to also check out my planner printables.
