I watched another reviewer of a planner Amanda had reviewed and there is NO comparison as to who does the most comprehensive and thorough reviews. Thanks for all your hard work for us!!!
I got the EC Daily Duo for 2024-2025. I like the new weekly spread in each week. EC paper and colors are my favorite along with the ability to change out my cover. In years past I tried others and came back to EC every year. This year, I went with EC from the start.
I got the Sterling Ink A5 Daily and it's incredible. It's going to be so perfect for my needs! I'm using it alongside the Sterling Ink passport booklets (in a Moterm Companion TN cover) for traditional planning, and a B6 Stalogy as my 'everything notebook'. It's important for me to be able to make constant adjustments to layouts and specifics, and so the more minimalist the better (but I don't like to go 'full bujo' and have to draw out everything).
@@esthert9146 great idea! I'm planning to include some prayers, notes about saints/doctrine, and what chapters/verses I read that day (as a small part of my multiple uses for each page!)
I love that too for journaling and memory keeping...it's harder for me to use it in planning just bc my page already looks written on before the day starts. I want to be able to use it for my planning! I love that it works for you:)
I’ve never seen the Passion Planner you showed first. It sounds very nice, I might look into that for next year. Thank you. I could very easily use this when I’m doing my 12-week years through the year. Hmmm interesting. Lol, I’ve never seen Plum Paper either. Wow!!! This planner sounds amazing. 🤣 I’ve never seen the 3 Minimalist Planners!! What world do I live in. Sprouted Planner??? What, another planner I’ve never seen. Most Esthetic… finally a name I know and planner I know and use. 👏👏 Great video!!! I still 🩷LOVE🩷 my Laurel Denise.
Nice round collections. 😄I'm still excited for your Common Planner review once it's ready. You do really good reviews and provide good perspectives and uses for things. The Common Planner has been my favorite one for about a year now.
Today I recieved my first Hemlock and oak that I bought after watching a video of yours. I wont be using it right now as it is for 2025 but it looks very good. I like the monday start on the monthly calendar and the range of the hours on the daily pages suit me better than the daily duo. I hope that it will be as good as the daily duo has been once I i start to use it. Thank you for you thorough reviews!
Thanks first video of yours for me as searching for advice in this area. Thanks for great overview - really like the sprouted planner but would cost too much to ship to UK however maybe when I’m over sometime I’ll be able to get one. Thanks!
With the cousin. I don’t like ghosting. I don’t want to see anything on the other side of the page. I don’t like the colors. Dec. is red!! I bought all three of the Canadian books. I liked the values in one of them. I like the daily pages which I will probably use that one for journaling. The best seller has the best overall setup. Since I journal at home, the size is good. I love beautiful paper! Thank you for telling me about this brand!! Environmentally superior.
It is always the highest honor to be featured on the Top 5 Daily Planner list! Thank you so much for recognizing the intention and heart behind Sprouted Planners ♥I am also loving the categories this year!
Their website takes sometime to learn...and there is no search bar. You have to start customizing a planner and then when you get to choose the layout you pick neutral, daily, hourly... here is a link to it...not sure if that will work. This is my link where you should get 10% OFF and it will stack on their sales. www.plumpaper.com/affiliate/amandasfavorites/shop/7x9-vertical-priorities?productGroupSlug=7-x-9-planners But I tried to lead you straight to that planner. I hope that helped?!
Many of the companies that custimoize you can build just a 6 month planner. Like Golden Coil, Agendio, Plum Paper, and even Personal Planner I think you can do that;)
I love a Hemlock chunky planner! Thanks for reviewing it. I was under the impression that we have a choice of disc, instead of coil? I'm not familiar with the site and still learning about the customization. Your video helps to clear up some things for me. I'll look into your other videos to see more. I don't know yet what I don't know. BTW, I'm a Happy Planner girl (for years) and making the switch to something else.
I have a passion planner. It’s one for. 2924 that I will repurpose at some point. I love it but I’m still not convinced it’s worth the hype but I’m also not giving up on it either. I have an old six month Plum Paper planner. I purchased that one right before I started using Planner Perfect. I had an Erin Condren planner before that and between the two, Plum Paper is the better one in my opinion. It has many many more customizing options !!!
I can't think of any close to the Simplified that are undated...Maybe there is one similar out there....I just don't know about it or can't think of it.
Love all of your reviews and really appreciate the work you put into this video! I plan to look in to Plum papers and will definitely use your affiliate link and discount code 🥰 Thank you!
Wonderful video! ❤️ I am trying the Hemlock and Oak daily this year! I loved the H&O weekly used it all year.. and the quality, simplicity and ethos of the company are all what drew me in..while it’s super chunky I don’t mind! But if I like it, next year I may go for the H&O daily duo… thanks Amanda for the as always great review! 👏🏼💕✨
@@AmandasFavoritesI’ve used the Plum Paper homeschool edition in the past. I’m currently using the larger SchoolNest planner. It’s too much with all the daily pages so next year I’m switching to one of the minimalist planners.
I almost got the plum paper but with all the customizing I wanted to do- it was going to be over $80 even with Amanda's discount. I ended up going with a different planner Amanda has shared. ❤
Well I am glad you found one you will like and that is in the budget! I've never added that much to my Plum Paper so I've never had one come close to that;)
I’m a Tomoe River paper fan. This year I am using an A5 Common Planner vertical from Sterling Ink in a caramel cover and the similar weeks size in mulberry. I have been in Hobonichi Cousin and Weeks this year and decided to give the SI a try for everyday. My thinking is that I love the vertical weekly setup and then the undated pages in the back. Too many of my pages in my Cousin haven’t been used as consistently as I would like. Or I need more than the single page for a day. 💕🫶🥰

Wow:) Seriously thank you so much for this compliment! xxx I hope you are having a good week!
They didn't know the paper weight and i was like Amanda always knows paper weight! Paper matters in a planner!! 😊@AmandasFavorites
Co-sign! Amanda is THE best. The G.O.A.T. of planner reviewers.
I have tried others, too regarding a couple of planners. Yes, Amanda is the best by far. Sometimes I listen to them several times.
As you know, the EC Daily Duo is my top daily planner for so many reasons. But the Simplified Daily is a very close second!
I hear ya on this!
I’m a EC DD too and love it. Although, I use MANY others as well.

Isn't nice when we know exactly what will work for us and bring joy! Enjoy it:)

That makes a lot of sense! What a great portable system:)
I got one too for next year and my plan is to write notes in it as I go through the Bible in a year via Fr Mike.
@@esthert9146 great idea! I'm planning to include some prayers, notes about saints/doctrine, and what chapters/verses I read that day (as a small part of my multiple uses for each page!)
I love it when planner pages get wrinkly and crinkly and I don’t mind the ink ghosting to the other side of the sheet. It’s beautiful to me.
I love that too for journaling and memory keeping...it's harder for me to use it in planning just bc my page already looks written on before the day starts. I want to be able to use it for my planning! I love that it works for you:)
@ I use a fine point Sharpie for writing in crinkly pages. It works most of the time. It’s so fun to have so many options.
Hooked on Sprouted planner. She's so thoughtful about what is updated each year. I loved last year, but 2025 is even better
I agree with you 100%!
I went to a weekly (from Hobby Lobby) for '25 but will still watch your daily planner videos just in case I ever want to go back. 😀
Such a great planner and deal that Hobby Lobby one is! Thanks for watching:)
I am not getting a daily, but I find your videos relaxing, so I watched it anyway.
Me too
Awww, this means a lot for me to hear:) I am honored that you watched and that it helps you relax:) xxx
xxx Thank you!

Sprouted Planner??? What, another planner I’ve never seen.
Most Esthetic… finally a name I know and planner I know and use. 👏👏
Great video!!!
I still 🩷LOVE🩷 my Laurel Denise.
I am so happy you love your LD:) And I love that this video introduced you to some new planners;) Thanks for taking time to chat;)
I use currently Plum Paper Daily and I already have 2025 as well. I love it and it works for me.
Nice round collections. 😄I'm still excited for your Common Planner review once it's ready. You do really good reviews and provide good perspectives and uses for things. The Common Planner has been my favorite one for about a year now.
I think that review will go up in December...at least that is the plan for now;) I am glad you love yours!
I love the undated common planner for monthly/weekly/daily planning
Today I recieved my first Hemlock and oak that I bought after watching a video of yours. I wont be using it right now as it is for 2025 but it looks very good. I like the monday start on the monthly calendar and the range of the hours on the daily pages suit me better than the daily duo. I hope that it will be as good as the daily duo has been once I i start to use it.
Thank you for you thorough reviews!
I hope it works as well for you too! It's such good quality!
I just stumbled across this video and your first planner you said exactly what I want in a work planner. I’ve never heard of the passion planner. 5:54
yay!
Hey Amanda, your videos helped me figure out what I need in a planner. Daily monthly is my choice for 2025. Thank you.
I'm so glad!
Thanks first video of yours for me as searching for advice in this area. Thanks for great overview - really like the sprouted planner but would cost too much to ship to UK however maybe when I’m over sometime I’ll be able to get one. Thanks!
I am glad this was helpful! Sorry the shipping out of US is so much:( Have a beautiful holiday season:)
As usual Amanda did an amazing job ❤
awww, thank you so very much. I am glad you enjoyed it and I hope it was helpful!

Thanks Heather:) Your planner is a stand out!
Help! I’ve looked and looked on the plum paper website and cannot find this layout! How do I find it? Thank you!!!

I wish they came out with a 6 month planner only!! Would make me feel less guilty getting a new planner every January / July lol
Many of the companies that custimoize you can build just a 6 month planner. Like Golden Coil, Agendio, Plum Paper, and even Personal Planner I think you can do that;)
Just found your channel! Please review The Dailee Planner! I’d love to know your opinion.
Welcome:) Thanks for letting me know what you would like to see;) I do have that on my request list!

They do have disc bound inserts...yes:) If you are asking about hemlock & oak.
@@AmandasFavorites Yes, the Hemlock. Thanks
I wish I could pick up a piano. Need to work on strength training 😂. I like your vid!
I’m working on my strength training too! I more so meant “pick up” as in “learn” 😉 and I appreciate the kind words-I’m glad you enjoyed the video!

Plum Paper does have so many customization options!
@ I kept my Plum Paper and Erin Condren planners because someday I can repurpose them for something.
I love the simplified daily, but wish it was undated! Do you know of any?
I can't think of any close to the Simplified that are undated...Maybe there is one similar out there....I just don't know about it or can't think of it.
Hello, do you have an update $15 off coupon for the Simplified planner? Thank you
They must have it turned off right now because I am not able to grab a new code. I am sorry!
Love all of your reviews and really appreciate the work you put into this video! I plan to look in to Plum papers and will definitely use your affiliate link and discount code 🥰 Thank you!
You are so welcome!

H & O is such a beautiful planner made with quality through and through! I am so glad you loved the weekly so much that you are now trying the daily:)
@@AmandasFavorites yes, thank you! ☺️✨
Could you do a video on the 2025 cleverfox? The product is out but there are absolutely no reviews that i have found yet
Oh, wow! That's too bad there are no reviews. I am booked up for the end of this year-but will put it on my list of requests! Thanks!
Do you know if Erin C has special deals for Black Friday?
They almost always have 30% OFF site wide!
Can you do a homeschool planner series?😊
Thanks for the idea;) I do have a homeschool/Teacher Planner Playlist:)
@@AmandasFavoritesI’ve used the Plum
Paper homeschool edition in the past. I’m currently using the larger SchoolNest planner. It’s too much with all the daily pages so next year I’m switching to one of the minimalist planners.
Can you please share a working Simplified link for $15 off? Thank you!
www.talkable.com/x/dNGipF Here you go! :)
Aahhhh! I haven't even watched yet, but I can't wait to comment, because I'm so excited you finally posted this video!!🤩
Awwwwww! That makes me so happy! I hope it didn't fall short:)
This makes me so happy to hear! Hope you like it!
I almost got the plum paper but with all the customizing I wanted to do- it was going to be over $80 even with Amanda's discount. I ended up going with a different planner Amanda has shared. ❤
Well I am glad you found one you will like and that is in the budget! I've never added that much to my Plum Paper so I've never had one come close to that;)
@AmandasFavorites im extra that way 😂 I went with sprouted! It was under $50 with your code and their sale.
