No Buy 2025: The Year I Stop Hoarding Planner Supplies
Welcome to my boldest challenge yet: Not buying any new planner supplies in 2025! That’s right-no pens, no stickers, no washi tape, no notebooks I swear I’ll use but just end up petting like a dragon hoarding treasure. 🐉✨
The planner community is a beautiful place, but let’s be real-it’s also a hotbed of rampant consumerism. How many times have we bought a sticker sheet only to hoard it because it’s “too pretty to use”? (Spoiler alert: Too many times.) This year, I’m putting my foot down and actually using the mountain of supplies I’ve already accumulated.
In this video, I’ll share:
✏️ My very realistic reasons for attempting a no-buy year.
📚 A tour of my already ridiculous planner stash.
😂 The cold, hard truths about planner FOMO.
Will I succeed? Will I crack and buy yet another pen set I don’t need? Stick around for the chaos. And if you’re also a recovering planner addict, let me know in the comments-I need a support group.

I have about 17 sticker books….but I rarely use stickers in my planner except to decorate covers.
Oh, I could hug you. You are my other self. 🤣 I am hording myself a plethora of items. But this one item I have is... a local store had Happy planner sticker books that they are still selling on the website for 1.99. I purchased so many and then went back and purchased so many more (like I have 27 untouched). I also have issue with ring binders as I am left-handed but still purchased them. But I believe like you said, we live in an uncontrolled world, and I am desperately trying to control the things I have in my life. So, I have a controlled hoard. I promised myself that I would try to have a no spend year and go through my stash. But what I failed to tell you is that not only do I plan, but I also junk journal and have a prayer planner. My life is chaos. 🤣 On top of that I don't like disorder. So, what is a girl to do? Organize my items neatly, put them in decorative boxes and cabinets, forget they are there, purchase more because I now have no idea what I truly have. When I do remember having it, I also don't use it like you, out of fear of "it is too good to use for this". The vicious circle continues. I see the future.... I die and my kids sell entire hoard for $20.00. 🤣 So glad I came across your content. Looking forward to watching more. Be well. ♥ P.S. BTW you should definitely make a support group for us. You would be great. 😁
I wanna see more about this journey! Theres a lot of us who have a similar goal! Thanks for posting!
I used to have a drawer-full of washi tape, a stack of clear stamps, boxes of stickers. And I gave away and sold 90% of them last year. Trying to go back to simple bullet journalling with an passport-size notebook this year.
as an artist- i can HARDDD relate to this with sketchbooks, pens, paints, stickers. you name it. I'm trying to retrain myself to get excited about "killing" pens (using up the ink) and finishishing sketchbooks, using up notepads etc- instead of being excited to buy. i have a checklist of tick boxes on my door (each box represents one item) that says i have to get rid of two things or use them up or whatever before i can buy something. everytime i buy something, i add two more boxes to the list.
I just want to know where you got the map/blue print cabinet
Hi. Enjoyed your video. I do not use a bullet journal but I found your no buy video funny and true. I do have a common place book and as for a planner this year I am using a planner that my son found lying near the register on a trip to Walmart and said hey madre look at this its on clearance for $5.50. I picked it up loved the format and color ( a pretty coral) so I bought it. 😂. I use a travelers notebook year round with 3 inserts. One for journaling, one for thoughts on books I’ve read, one for Quran studying, and one as a commonplace book. I also have a Pocket travelers notebook with 3 notebooks one write to my children( both grown) about my life, one as a gratitude journal, and one as a general brain dump. Quick question do you use fountain pens at all? I look forward to your funny down to earth, quirky, camera shaking videos. ❤😊
Thank you for your honest video. I totally understand. ❤
I'm sorry, I kept looking at your adorably clingy dog, I could barely hear what you were talking! All jokes aside, I am on a no-new-sewing-supplies journey, too. Sometimes too much is too much, and you need to use what you already have.
I just found your videos! Love them and I don't even use a bullet journal 😂
What if I tell you I have just as many (or more? 😬) A5 6 ring binders for someone that also does NOT use them and have never like the metal rings but yet here we are 😣
Your doggy is adorable! By the way, I have the same problem but with art supplies in general. And the bad thing is, my husband encourages it because he has an expensive hobby himself so he feels let guilt when I spend money too. But I have such a heap of stuff now it's not normal. I will not buy any more this year either. We are planning on moving to a smaller place, but at the moment, that is not possible because of the amount of stuff we have. It needs to change. I started decluttering something every day, even if it is only 15 Minutes. Have been doing that since the start of January. It does work for me since I get overwhelmed if I have to declutter the wohle basement in one go.
Same here but adult colouring. I'm on a hobby low buy as it was getting out of hand. So many videos on you tube on low o buy where it's about makeup and clothes, nope mines all about the hobbies. For some reason we tell ourselves it's ok because hobbies are good for us but like you said, having too much stuff just stresses us out. Thanks for the vid, well needed xx
I definitely hoard stationery. Of all kinds. I buy and hoard more than I craft. I have stopped buying though. My word for 2025 is USE. Use what I have. Use my time more productively. Use my brain. My husband's word is FINISH. I could definitely apply that to myself as well. I haven't had FOMO in years. It's wonderful! Have you ever gone to a Go Wild convention? I watch videos but never had the desire to go. It costs major bucks. You could definitely do stand up comedy- you're funny 😂
Sadly none I do not have the funds to have them and also I just learned you can make your own stickers! Where did you get the desk ? I think that desk is the size of my entire dining room! It looks so useful!
thank you for your wonderful video. I am almost at the end of my "fantasy chef" declutter.
Gayle Goddard (professional organizer and obsessed beader) often notes that BUYING craft supplies is a totally different hobby than using craft supplies. No judgment, (unless you can't find your bed for the gear, then maybe it is time to do something).
Love your planners and you are so real . ❤ thank you😊
I understand.
No judgement here, what a magnificent haul. I am in envy, map drawers, brilliant. When the apocalypse comes you will be able to supply the world with post it notes so we can leave important information like where the zombies and werewolves are, and when you run out you can you can barter for mine. (I take washi tape.)
You get let family and friends know where you are headed too if you think they may turn up where you were. You could pre plan codes so nobody else can find you 🤣 🧟♂️ 🧟♀️
Me... This is me... I had to unsubscribe from it all...then somehow you came up on my recommend videos ❤😂😢😅😊
I have like 4 sticker books and am impressed how many you have!! I love sticker books. I only bullet journal as well. I absolutely love the hobby. Its VERY dangerous though...I have spent so much on sticker bundles from prices sites ugh and I feel the guilt 😬
I love your narration! 😂😂😂
Oh you’re not alone. I cut out a 20 minute rant from one of my videos last week! I have been decluttering my planner supplies for more than a month and it doesn’t feel like I’ve made a dent. I’m redacting planners I never used this year - and of course there are bullet journals. That isn’t a fomo free zone either though. I wish us all luck. 873 sticker books and counting. Don’t ask about the washi. Or the 13 sets of exactly the same bookmarks.
This is the best planner video I’ve seen in a long time.
I loved this so much, I watched it twice. This video is what I will refer back to when I start to feel the fomo for planner crap. I also use a bullet journal, but every year I rethink my choice and ponder all the planners in the world only to come back to a trusty blank dotted notebook and pen. Thank you for this, and Hawk is so cute and sweet to help you get organized. 💖
Great video! And your goodest boy is hecking handsome and deserves a good belly rub! 😍
It's wild...I feel seen and called out at the same time! LOL... Thanks for being real.
lol hello :)
Marketing gimmicks are REAL. I've bought and sold osver 100 or so. Any time there is a "limited release" or a specific buying window, it mimics social engineering. Youre pressured into acting NOW. Marketers want you to turn off your logic and instead, slip into your reptilian brain of GATHER, GATHER NOW!!! Here is to a successful no buy and sell-off for you!
Thank you! I think actually touching my hoarded supplies was helpful. So I’m bordering on confidence that I’ll stick to my no-buy plans…this year anyway.
The fomo is real I have prob about 700 rolls of washi about 400 sticker kits and about 1000 other sheets of stickers 45 llp koap rong rong and versed planning sticker books. It’s crazy. And I still want to buy more. I really need to use what I have this year. But I have fomo so bad
It is so hard to resist those new shiny things! 😭 I had to stop following a few of my favorite washi shops because it was too tempting.
Holy smokes! You weren’t kidding about the sticker books!! Not judging!! lol, I just kept waiting for you to hit the end.
Me too, lol. Every time I turned around the dog was laying on another sticker book 😂
Thank you for this video!
I appreciate your honesty and vulnerability…it’s inspiring. I definitely want to do a low to no spend this year. ❣️✨
I’m still fairly new to planners, I’m on my third year of regular use. As someone who also quilts, along with a few other crafts, I’ve had to learn to limit my purchasing. I have limited space to store all my supplies, so I will sporadically clear things out. I took all my quilting fabrics and bundled them into project bags with the patterns so I’m limiting my purchases only to backing fabrics if I didn’t already have it and batting if I need it. As for my planner. I’m trying to find my style aesthetic and the colors I tend to use the most and pare down my washi tapes and my stickers. If I buy, it will be to replace a specific type or color I use. Anything I’m not using will be donated. Learning to find my style has been a good way to make me focus on the things I actually need. I’ve also learned to be more judicial about the stickers I buy. If there are only a couple of pages out of a book that I actually like, then I don’t buy the book. If the majority of the book is something I can see myself using, then I’ll purchase it and work my way through the book.
That’s a great system! I love that you’ve found something that works well for you ❤️
Your doggo seems on board to support you no matter what you do.
He’s a good boy ❤️
I’m curious to know who you’re watching. Many of the things you said about “the planner community” aren’t present in the planner community peeps I’m watching.
I'm glad you're finding other creators you enjoy! I wouldn’t be comfortable calling out specific people, it’s just something I’ve noticed come up in my feeds. Which, of course, is based on an algorithm dictated by my own behavior. So that’s probably why I see it so often.
first: you are hilarious and i love your humour second: i have way too many sticker books and i just ordered a few (cough-cough too many) with the end-of-year sale I'll be joining you this year, possibly modifying from a no buy to a low buy at the beginning.
Low buy is a fantastic start. I know for myself I want to go cold turkey, but everyone should make decisions that feel right for themselves. ❤️
Same here! I have so much paper supplies and not enough room in my little office for everything. I threw out a bunch of old paper supplies that I know I’m not going to use. I have tons of adult coloring books that I haven’t completed. Have had them for years thinking I’ll finish them one day. Threw them out. It was tough.
It is tough. The guilt and feeling of “waste” is so powerful. But it’s one of those pick your poison situations. Do you want the guilt staring you in the face every time you don’t use it? Or just the one time guilt of releasing it. Good for you for having the strength to let it go. ❤️
Not judging ❤ I understand too well. The worst is I haven’t even begin yet! But this year will be the year I will use my stuff and not buy anything. Well, that’s the plan… 😂
It’s a good plan! Lol. I get it, believe me. The new shiny is so tempting. Good luck 🍀
I am also challenging myself not to buy anymore stickers or washi tape or notebooks this year. The FOMO is real.
Not a planner person, but a quilter.... any creative pursuit requires supplies and sometimes the supplies spark the project. I have the same problem as you started with, just different format (mine is fabric) and I can actually see my " no buy" turning into finished projects for 2025 because the time I would have spent shopping for the "next best thing" will be put in to USING all the best things that are already here from 2020 thru 2024
I love that you've got a plan to use what you have. I’m thinking of trying to use up a different sticker book every month. Which, in the grand scheme of things, is only 12 books a year. But hey, as long as I’m loving and using them, that’s what counts. ❤️
No judging! Lol. I know it’s excessive…that’s the point of the video. And I’m not alone in this space. So be kind, have a laugh, and let’s work together to end the obnoxious over-consumerism in the planner community.
Do what you can with what you have ❤ Happy 2025 everyone!!
I luv this milk
