7 must-have diaries for 2024
CALL us old school, but we like scribbling down important appointments and get-togethers in a paper diary.
It’s way harder to accidentally delete something in a physical diary and so much easier to remember all those important dates.
So if you didn’t find one sitting under the Christmas tree, we’ve rounded up the best to either pop on your desk or into your bag.
Some come with stickers, others with very handy life-planning pages.
But all of them are beautiful.
The only real problem? You won’t have an excuse to forget anyone's birthday…
