2022 Journal Gift Guide: 100 Awesome Journaling Gifts

Journaling gifts are not only useful, they’re extremely thoughtful.

As someone who has been journaling for years, it means a lot to me when someone gets me a journaling-related gift as it shows they’ve taken an interest in a really important part of my life and want to help me further that.

However, if you don’t personally journal yourself, you might be wondering what to get someone who loves to journal.

The best journaling gifts I would recommend getting the journal-lover in your life are (you can jump to any of these sections):

• Specialised journals
• Cute blank notebook-journals
• Planners
• Bullet journals
• Journal stencils and templates
• Pens and pencils
• Stickers
• Prompt cards
• Washi tape
• As well as some more outside-the-box journaling gifts

I’ll go into all of these, including my favourites, below.

I’m going to start off with what I believe to be the best journaling gifts you can give: specialist journals.

By this, I mean journals that have a specific theme or goal in mind, for example, gratitude or productivity.

They usually include clear prompts and directions, and are basically a one-stop shop for journal-lovers whether they’re just a beginner or have been journaling for years, which makes them a safe all-rounder to buy.

My Top Picks

As a journal lover myself, my absolute favour journal gifts have to be:

Specialist, themed journals

Those who are new to journaling might prefer a more specialised journal geared towards a specific goal, such as gratitude, productivity, or manifesting.

These types of journals are not only usually beautifully designed, they guide the user to write whatever they need to write to achieve their personal goal, which is why they make amazing gifts for those who are just starting to dip their toes in the water. (Unless you’re like me and still use them after journaling for years.)

Law of Attraction Journal by Freedom Mastery

This is my favourite journal of all time.

The cover is actually breath-taking and has a luxurious, soft-yet-sturdy feel to it.

The edges of the pages are also coloured, which only adds to how stunning this journal looks.

The journal also includes tons of prompts, weekly planner pages, exercises and information to help you work towards your dreams, which is great for improving your mindset even if you’re not particularly interested in the Law of Attraction.

I really couldn’t recommend this journal enough. It’s excellent value for money and, as I said, I repurchase it with a different cover every year.

I can’t overstate enough how beautiful this looks in person; whoever you buy it for will be thrilled.

Fortunately, you can still find the Law of Attraction Journal by Freedom Mastery on Amazon.

Five Minute Journal

The Five Minute Journal by Intelligent Change is a journal I started off with when I was first getting into practising gratitude.

It’s perfect because it’s compact so doesn’t feel too daunting, it prompts you to practise being thankful and think positively, and gets you in the habit of journaling daily.

The idea behind it is that you only need to take five minutes out of your day each morning and evening to practise gratitude in order to make a real difference to your mindset.

The small journal contains prompts for practising gratitude and reflection. It’s quick, simple, and really effective.

Blank journals and notebooks

The beauty of having gifting a blank journal is that the journal-lover can use it for whatever journaling techniques they like. For example, they might want to write, use it for doodles, or even scrapbook with it.

You give them the freedom of using a cute journal for whatever THEY want, which is amazing for people who have perhaps been journaling for a while and know exactly what they’re doing.

Gilded Rosettes Journal

Gilded Rosettes have a ton of beautiful lightly lined, blank notepads available for you to free-write, expand on journal prompts, set goals, and write your gratitude lists in.

This stunningly intricate embossed journal has a hardcover, which makes it tough and durable (just in case the journal-lover you’re gifting this journal to is like me and a little clumsy), and is actually a 19th-century binding of a volume of poems by Dante Gabriel Rossetti.

You can find the Gilded Rosettes Journal on Amazon.

Vintage Leather Journal

This absolutely breath-taking leather bound journal comes complete with a wraparound key for decoration, special antique paper, and soft, supple leather binding.

Hummingbird Journal

If the journal-lover you know is a little more colourful, this cute hummingbird journal is the way to go. This journal is perfect for those who prefer sweet, stereotypically feminine covers, as well as younger journallers.

The soft, feminine design of purple flowers and a hummingbird is adorable, while the hardcover makes it strong and durable.

There are tons of Moleskine journals available, including:

• Moleskine Limited Edition Sakura Notebook

Book of Shadows

Books of Shadows are similar to blank journals, but also different.

When you buy them, they look like any other blank journal on the inside. However, those who are Pagan, Wiccan, or interested in witchcraft often use them to journal their spells, findings about the craft, and information they come across.

While you can start a Book of Shadows in a plain, blank journal, a lot of witches, Pagans, and Wiccans choose to either decorate theirs or buy journals with appropriate covers.

You can also buy a range of stunning journals that are blank on the inside, but have amazing witchy imagery on the cover.

Here are some of my favourites.

• Blank Spell Book Of Shadows Journal With Lock Clasp
• Leather Book of Shadows Journal
• Hocus Pocus Book of Spells
• Book of Shadows Spell Book Journal
• Book Of Shadows Leather Journal with Semi Precious Stone

Bullet journals

Bullet journals are like blank notepads but instead of the paper being lined, slightly-lined, or completely bare, it’s dotted.

These dots act as guides so that you can create your own templates, layouts, and designs, which makes bullet journals the perfect gift for creative or artistic journal fan.

Dotted Journal by Vivid Scribbles

Stencils for bullet journals

Stencils are a handy way to decorate your bullet journal or blank journal pages if you’re not 100% confident in your freehand abilities (or even if you are!).

Personally, I know that every time I’ve tried to get artistic with my journal pages, it looks like a five-year-old has attacked it with a stick.

Stencils work by fixing them to the page and then using your pen or pencil to outline or fill in the shapes. You can use them to draw shapes, boxes to write prompts in, or design cool-looking titles for your pages.

If you’re buying a journaling gift, they’re a great budget-friendly option, or a useful addition to a journal gift basket.

This 20-piece stencil set includes tons of templates for banners, boxes, doodles, shapes, symbols, and letters. Basically, everything you need to design a cute bullet journal layout.

12 Pieces Large Mandala Stencil

This 12-piece set is so stunning and unique I just HAD to include it.

How do you give a journal as a gift?

Right, so you’ve decided you want to give someone a journaling-related gift, but not sure how to go about it. It can be a pretty personal gift after all.

Here’s what you can do.

1. Ensure the person you’re buying for is actually interested in journaling. Hopefully, if you’re here, they are, but if they’re not, you might want to look elsewhere. Journaling isn’t for everyone.
2. Do a little research regarding what kind of gift they would find useful; try to recall if they’ve mentioned anything in a previous conversations. What type of journaling do they usually partake in? Are they spiritual? Do they prefer antique-aesthetic or stereotypically feminine bright colours. If you still have no idea what to get, putting together a journaling gift basket is a safe choice as it includes everything.
3. Order the gift in advance so that it has time to arrive.
4. Write a note in the front cover of the journal gift or to place inside to let them know why you got them a journaling gift; remember to add the date for them to look back on.
5. Gift wrap if you feel it’s necessary. A lot of journals are so cute that you don’t even need to add anything, but a ribbon adds a nice touch.

Ultimately, journal-related gifts are really thoughtful and unique, so there’s not much room to go wrong.

If you can’t decide on what individual gift to get the journal-lover in your life, want to splash out a little more, or just want to put together something really thoughtful, putting together a journaling gift basket is a beautiful idea.

A journal gift basket is probably my dream present, and since I’m an avid journaller myself, I imagine it would go down well with anyone in your life who enjoys journaling.
