Planner Set Up: Use It Up!

I love stationery supplies! I’m sure most people reading Well-Appointed Desk can understand the feeling of not only enjoying stationery supplies but also hoarding these supplies. I’ve decided 2025 will be the year I try to at least start using all supplies I can find in my own stash and make my daily planner a crazy mish-mash of stickers, washi tape, markers, paint, and photos. Here’s a look at the things I have in my bag today.

Last year I received a mini photo printer that can print directly from my phone but did not use it all year! I’ve started printing out one fun photo every day now.

I received a package of Zebra Clickart markers in a white elephant gift exchange (best white elephant gift EVER) so I’ve added those to my rotation of items to use this year.

I’ve had this Galen Leather protractor for years and haven’t worked it into my regular rotation before. I love the weight and the ability to draw straight lines with it.

I picked up a couple of sticker books last summer but all of them look so amazing! I keep waiting for the perfect setup that needs such fancy stickers, but now I’m done waiting. I have an entire day in my planner so far consisting of frogs and crows and it is delightful.

I’m going to start my foil stickers on a day that just needs something shiny to make me happy.

I love these little stamp pads. Not wonderful for huge stamps, but perfect for tiny stamps that I carry with me when I travel!

I’ve only called out a single washi tape from the Well-Appointed store here because I haven’t kept track of where the others come from. When I travel, I wind a length of tape around a thread keeper card so I don’t need to bring the whole washi tape. It works well for short trips.

I’ve always been a huge fan of Eric Small Things stamps. I came across this item last summer and keep forgetting to use it!

My challenge this year extends to everyone else. What do you have in your stash that needs to come out and be enjoyed?

  1. Excellent post and great ideas. I’m trying to be more committed to my journal(s) and more intent on shopping my office for goodies. I just realized I have that same Eric Small Things stamp set sitting before me – oops. Time to bundle some items for easy accessibility and get to work.
