My recommendation for TN newcomers: try out the notebook inserts on their own first, to see how they work out for you, before investing in the cover and accessories. It's a wonderful system, but the upfront costs can really add up. One can give it a test run with like $20-30 and feel much more confident when purchasing their full setup. Take advantage of the modularity!
I love using the accordion refill to create fantasy map with like glitter ink, and stuff like that and since it’s a fantasy map, it doesn’t necessarily have to be beautiful or extremely intricate, but it can be
I have not pulled the trigger on anything from TN notebook or accessories because there is so much out there. If you don’t know what there is, you don’t know what you should get. I’m not one to buy one of everything or three of everything and then figure it out. I want to purchase what I want and need and go from there. I don’t want to feel as I’m missing some thing either. This was, awesome. Having a breakdown is unbelievably helpful. Thank you so much. Cheers
Sterling Ink having a compact full year vertical weekly in the TN regular size has led me down the TN rabbit hole. I’ve always been a 1-book girlie, so I love the idea that I can keep in “1 book” (cover) a full year planner but append into my system a couple of other refills. I use the undated monthly as a FP ink swatch book and the sticker release refill. So functional!
The big game changer for me is the modularity, especially being able to move all my yearly/long-term spreads into a separate notebook, which ended up lasting me 3 years. I also found it easier to let go of the desire to fit a fixed number of months in a notebook, so I'm no longer leaving a bunch of paper unused like I did with my hardcover journals.
I may already be familiar with most of the tn stuff, but I still love watching you guys explain things, so here I am 🎉🎉 I actually love using my regular size tn to keep like receipts, wrappers, stuff like that. It’s perfect cause one blank refill is enough for one whole year’s worth of stuff, and because of the way it’s bound, it looks great even when chonky. As for the card pocket insert, I love making my own cards decorated with washi+stickers, and I write my favorite lyrics with a brush pen ❤
I LOVE the lightweight paper as a journal! I add a lot of stickers and washi, so the thinner paper is a must, and I love that it has more pages than a normal refill. I also add all my ephemera in the plastic zip insert, and bigger pieces in the Kraft folder. I use the undated monthly book for my yearly insert because I love Sunday start. The accordion fold insert is great for moving, and traveling! I’ve used it for both and it was so helpful. The sticker release is a MUST for heavy decorating! I use so many inserts at a time that sometimes they don’t fit in my Travelers Company cover. So I have a Narrow cover from Chic Sparrow that can hold six inserts with no overhangs.
Thank you so much Daisy - great to have an overview of all that’s available. I am a huge fan of the watercolor paper insert - takes wet media very well, great for painting, collage, etc. Also really love the vertical format of the writing-geared inserts for journaling. Well done video!!
This was a great video. I currently have one refill that I got to see if I liked it and document a busy few weeks I have coming up. This video is exactly what I needed should I decide I want to expand and get a cover and more refills.
Thank you Daisy because you have shown me an idea that I can insert the cover of a refill (insert) into one of the pocket of the Zipper Case. I did it and I find the arrangement of my insert is more neat.
At last I know how to use the 3 Fold File. Thank you for explaining. I thought it was nice when I bought it but I was struggling to insert it into my Traveler's Notebook because it just doesn't feel right and doesn't fit right. I was searching to see how TN users use this but could not find until I came across this video. So thanks.
Such an interesting overview, thanks Daisy! So I have to ask about the gaps in the numbering, were there once refills with those numbers which have now been discontinued? Here's hoping you'll do an overview for the passport size Traveler's Notebook too!
exactly the sort of video I needed. Wish the special ones are more available. The Binder pop out thing... didn't know that was a thing. How does the sticker thing work? you peel off the sticker and put them in or put them in untouched?

Omg that is such a fun idea! I have a bunch of shimmery ink samples that I want to use in an artistic way and this sounds perfect.
I used the accordion insert when moving, and had a side for each room, and then I used it again for traveling!
Very helpful, thank you 🙏
It was difficult to find this information online. Thank you for breaking this down. Much appreciated!
Glad it was helpful!
thank you
Thank you! Great video. Love my TN
Very helpful, thanks!

Thank you for making this video and explaining each refill especially 004 and 006 pocket stickers.
I love the creativity they have used.
I love all things travelers notebook. Thanks for this video
I have wondered about the binder, number eleven! Thank you for this video.
I was thinking of trying out a Traveler's Notebook so this is super informative!
This video is so beneficial to me who is still waiting for Amazon to deliver my travelers notebook and other compliments

Thanks! This was very helpful.
Would love to see a video just like this for the passport size or are they all the same!?
very helpful video!
Thank you 🙏
this was such a good video!! TYSM

Thank you very helpful.
In TN website they have 4 kinds of colored pages, they have black pages which is awesome!
I just love it all and I am new to all of it. I do miss the background music that is suddenly gone
Thank you for sharing the vid. I'm wondering why they haven't released a lined MD refill.
Such an interesting overview, thanks Daisy! So I have to ask about the gaps in the numbering, were there once refills with those numbers which have now been discontinued? Here's hoping you'll do an overview for the passport size Traveler's Notebook too!
Yes - there are refills that are discontinued, which is why there are some skips in the numbering now :)
exactly the sort of video I needed. Wish the special ones are more available. The Binder pop out thing... didn't know that was a thing. How does the sticker thing work? you peel off the sticker and put them in or put them in untouched?
My Favorites are #2 and the Weekly+Meno dated refill and the Dated Monthly
MD paper?? Sticker release paper?? I may be moving from hobonichi to traveler's lol. Great video
What happened to 023? The film pocket?
what about the dated ones?
👋 hiiiii
What happened to the missing numbers???
