I am happy that I found this company! The array of products is fantastic, the prices are amazing, and the service is quick and feels intentional and professional.
I’ve had such a wonderful experience with Valenna! Every time I’ve placed an order, it has arrived very quickly, which I really appreciate. What makes it even more special is that there’s always a little free gift included, it’s such a thoughtful touch and never goes unnoticed. Thank you for the amazing service, consistency, and care you put into every order. It truly makes a difference, and I’ll definitely keep supporting you!
I am happy with my book corners are beautiful with the gold and the gold wire. My only problem is there are two of the same pages instead of them being different like my original and other two pages (prayer list in example) that are split up instead of together, but overall I’m happy.
Excellent service and product. Will definitely make use of Valenna again
Customer service 💯,keep updating every step on my WhatsApp and Email and also thank you to Adriano for keep communicating when I was struggling to get a locker nearby my workplace. Ohh and the packaging ❤️❤️
Order wasn’t correct. Was promised a refund. Still waiting 3 months later. No one replies to me and all my comments and posts are getting deleted and I’m being blocked on platforms because I am speaking out about the bad service !

From the thoughtful customization to the high-quality materials, everything feels carefully made and meaningful. It’s not just a diary , it feels like a personal keepsake.

Personalised journals & planners are perfect for anyone who wants to blend functionality with personality. Whether you’re planning your week, journaling your thoughts, or mapping out long-term goals, our custom-made journals adapt to your lifestyle. Here are some popular uses:
-
Planners for Daily Journaling & Self-Reflection

Many people find that having a dedicated space to write down their thoughts helps them process their day, set intentions, and gain clarity on decisions. Whether it’s a few sentences or full pages, your journal becomes a safe space to be honest, vulnerable, and real.
-

Did You Know? Keeping a regular journal can actually improve memory and comprehension by encouraging deeper thinking and emotional processing!
Available Sizes for Journals & Why They Matter
Choosing the right size for your journal or planner is key to ensuring it fits seamlessly into your routine. Each size offers different benefits depending on how and where you plan to use it:
-
A6 Sized Planners (105 × 148 mm ± 2 mm)
The smallest option, ideal for travel, pocket-sized planning, or quick notes on the go. Great for those who like to carry their journal everywhere but don’t need a lot of writing space per page.
This compact size is often referred to as the “traveler’s notebook” because of its portability. If you’re always on the move—whether commuting, hiking, or visiting clients—this size ensures your journal stays within reach without weighing you down.
It’s also a great choice for minimalists who prefer simplicity and don’t want to feel overwhelmed by too many pages or sections.
-
A5 Sized Journals (148 × 210 mm ± 2 mm)
A popular choice for most users. It strikes the perfect balance between portability and usability. Offers enough space for detailed planning and journal entries while still being easy to carry in a bag or briefcase.
Statistically, A5 is one of the most commonly used sizes for planners and journals across the world. Its popularity comes from the fact that it’s large enough to allow for creative layouts and extended writing, yet small enough to be portable.
It’s especially suited for students, writers, entrepreneurs, and creatives who want a versatile format that can handle everything from meeting notes to sketching ideas.
-
A4 Sized Journals & Planners (210 × 297 mm ± 2 mm)
The largest size available, perfect for creative planners who enjoy layouts, doodling, or vision boards. This size provides maximum flexibility for both journaling and planning, especially if you prefer a desk-friendly format.
If you’re someone who likes to spread out—both literally and metaphorically—A4 is your best bet. It allows for wide margins, dual-page spreads, and plenty of white space for artistic expression.
Many digital creators, artists, and coaches choose this size when they need a planner that doubles as a portfolio or project notebook. The extra room makes it easier to brainstorm visually and create comprehensive plans.
Fun Fact: Undated planners are growing in popularity because they allow users to start anytime and work at their own pace—no pressure to catch up if you miss a week!
Journal Cover Materials & Finishes – Choose the Right Planner Style for You
The cover of your journal or planner sets the tone for your experience. Ours come in premium materials designed for durability, aesthetics, and personalisation:
-
Matte or Glossy Card Covers (450 gsm)
Lightweight yet sturdy, this finish is perfect for vibrant colours and sharp text. Ideal for everyday use and great for personal gifts or student planners.
The card cover offers a professional look without the heft of board covers. It’s particularly popular among younger audiences and those who appreciate clean, minimalist designs. Matte finishes give off a soft, elegant vibe, while glossy options add a touch of shine and sophistication.
This material is perfect for people who want a lightweight, budget-friendly planner that still feels high-quality and looks great on a shelf or in photos.
-
Matte or Glossy Board Covers (750 gsm)
A thicker, rigid cover that adds a luxurious feel. Best suited for special occasion gifts, corporate giveaways, or long-term keepsakes that will be used and cherished for years.
Board covers are known for their sturdiness and premium appearance. They provide a tactile experience that feels substantial in your hands, making them ideal for planners meant to last through multiple years or serve as treasured mementos.
These covers are especially popular for milestone events like weddings, graduations, or retirement gifts, where the planner itself becomes part of the celebration.
Did You Know? Glossy finishes make text and images pop, creating a polished look that feels high-end—perfect for gift-giving or professional use.
Journal Customisation – Making It Truly Yours
Make your journal or planner uniquely yours with our full customisation options. Add a name, quote, or message to create something truly special:
-
Outer Cover Text
Choose what appears on the front cover—your name, a motivational phrase, or even a company logo. Make it stand out with your preferred font and layout.
Your outer cover is the first thing people see, so why not make it count? Whether it’s a bold statement, a gentle reminder, or a personal motto, this is your chance to show off your style and intentions before even opening the book.
Custom covers also make it easy to identify your planner in a crowded bag or workspace—no more guessing which notebook is yours!
-
Inner Cover Text
Add a hidden message inside the front cover for a surprise effect. Especially lovely when giving as a gift—whether it’s a heartfelt note or a reminder to yourself.
The inner cover is a subtle but meaningful detail. It’s the first thing you see once you open the planner, and it can be a powerful motivator. Many customers use it to write mantras, quotes, or messages of encouragement that resonate with their goals for the year.
Because it’s printed permanently, it becomes a lasting part of your journal—something you’ll revisit again and again.
-
Custom Footer Text
Place an inspirational quote or daily mantra at the bottom of each page to keep you motivated as you write, plan, or reflect.
Footer text is a small but impactful feature. It turns every page into a mini pep talk, gently reminding you of your purpose and direction. It’s like having a coach quietly cheering you on with every turn of the page.
This is especially useful for people who use their planners as part of a larger self-improvement journey—whether it’s building confidence, cultivating gratitude, or improving productivity.
Fun Fact: People often choose to match the footer text with the outer cover quote—creating a consistent theme that makes the journal feel like a personal manifesto.
High-Quality Pages for a Smooth Writing Experience
We believe your thoughts deserve to be written on the best possible surface. That’s why our journals and planners feature top-tier paper options:
-
White Quality Paper (80 gsm)
Lightweight and smooth, ideal for pens, pencils, and highlighters. Great for fast note-taking and everyday writing.
This standard weight is perfect for general use and suits most pen types including ballpoint, gel, and fine liners. It offers a balanced combination of affordability and performance, making it a reliable choice for most users.
If you’re not sure what kind of paper you prefer, this is a great starting point. It’s versatile enough for almost any type of planner or journaling style.
-
120–140 gsm White Paper
Thicker, premium pages with less ink bleed and a luxurious feel. Perfect for fountain pens, artists, or anyone who appreciates a more tactile writing experience.
For those who use fountain pens, markers, or watercolours, this heavier stock is a game-changer. It reduces ghosting and feathering, allowing your ink to dry cleanly and beautifully on the page.
This paper grade is especially loved by calligraphers, illustrators, and bullet journal enthusiasts who value both function and aesthetics in their planning tools.
Did You Know? Higher GSM paper not only feels nicer—it also reduces ghosting and bleeding, making your handwriting look cleaner and more professional.
Wire Bound Journals & Closure for Durability
Our journals and planners are wire-bound for practicality and comfort. Here’s what you get:
-
Wire Binding
Available in gold, black, white, or silver (depending on stock), the wire binding allows the book to lie flat and turn pages easily—ideal for both right- and left-handed users.
Wire binding was originally developed to allow books to open fully without damaging the spine—making it perfect for frequent writers and planners! Unlike glued bindings that can break over time, wire-bound notebooks remain intact no matter how often you use them.
Plus, the lay-flat design makes it easier to write across the entire width of the page, especially helpful for creative layouts or double-page spreads.
-
Elastic Closures for Joournals & Planners (Optional)
Keep your journal secure and protected with an optional elastic band. Great for keeping loose sheets or cards tucked away safely.
This simple addition adds both style and function. It prevents pages from flipping open in your bag and protects your planner from dust, spills, and wear. Plus, it gives your journal a finished, professional look that feels more premium.
Many customers choose the elastic closure when purchasing planners as gifts or for business purposes, where presentation matters as much as content.
Fun Fact: Wire binding was originally developed to allow books to open fully without damaging the spine—making it perfect for frequent writers and planners!
