All Diaries

Although the terms are often used interchangeably, a diary and a planner serve slightly different purposes. A diary is typically used to record daily appointments, notes, and reflections. It often features a structured day-per-page or week-to-view format, making it ideal for keeping track of your schedule or capturing personal thoughts. A planner focuses more on organization. It is designed to help manage tasks, set goals, and structure both personal and professional priorities.

At Smythson, both diaries and planners are handcrafted using the finest leathers. Our diaries are available in various sizes and are printed on our signature Featherweight paper. Our planners are ideal for those who prefer a more flexible structure. With open layouts that allow for customized use, they’re perfect for project planning, daily task management, or goal setting, while our titled wedding and baby planners are designed for more specific life events.

The right diary size depends on how and where you plan to use it. Smythson offers a range of diary sizes to suit every lifestyle, from compact pocket styles to spacious desk formats.

Pocket diaries are ideal for those on the go. Slim and lightweight, they slip easily into a handbag or jacket pocket, perfect for quick notes and daily appointments.

Mid-size diaries strike a balance between portability and writing space, offering plenty of room for more detailed notes while being compact enough to accompany you on the go.

Desk diaries provide generous space for detailed notes, weekly overviews, and longer entries if you prefer to plan from a dedicated workspace.
