This is the perfect weekend to grab your planner essentials, friends!
If you’re like me, you’ve been scrolling through gift guides, scanning for the actual gems in the billion emails you received in the past 48 hours, and trying to determine if you really need *that thing* that you added to your cart as soon as you saw it.
While it can be really hard to navigate through all the super sales Black Friday weekend and Cyber Monday, I think a good rule of thumb is to think about how often you’ll actually use something in the next year.
It’s no secret how much I love Erin Condren around here. You can find several pages filled with EC walkthroughs, how I use their products, and just all the fun things!
Here are a few favorites below, in case you missed them! 🙂
Planners and their accessories are more than just gifts, they’re investments! They create a support system for you not just on the first day of January, but for the entire year!
Erin Condren is having such a fantastic sale this weekend and I couldn’t wait to give you all of my favorites that you can snag for a deep discount!
I also put this post together in perspective that even if you don’t shop this weekend, you can come back to this post to shop your planner essentials for 2025 later on and you’ll still be covered!
Erin Condren Planner Essentials
I’m over here singing “these are a few of my favorite things!” as I’m typing this, and also filling my cart with some great deals!
- Snap-In Weekly Dashboard ~ I have a couple of these dashboards and absolutely adore them! They’re super easy to plop in and out of your planner and I like being able to jot down things for my week before setting them in stone in my LifePlanner.
- Weekly Productivity Deskpad ~ This deskpad has such a clean layout with just a touch a color without being overwhelming, so I think it works whether you’re a color or neutral gal. Plus, it has a habit tracker and an incredible amount of space to keep all your weekly thoughts and to-do’s all in one place.
- Colorful Snap-In Pocket Dashboard ~ This pack comes with three pockets that you can fill with whatever your heart desires and they snap right into your LifePlanner!
- Gem Tones Gel Pens ~ These are my all-time favorite pens from Erin Condren! They write so smoothly and have such a beautiful aesthetic.
- Calendar Date Dots ~ These colorful calendar dots are perfect for highlighting those days that you don’t want to forget. I use a color-coding system which tells me automatically what it is that I want to note for that day. You can use these for your yearly at-a-glance section of your planner or in the monthly calendar sections, as well!
- Erin Condren LifePlanner ~ Well, you can’t exactly have all the planner essentials without the planner itself, right? I’m sitting here questioning why I didn’t place this as number one, but for your amusement, we will leave it as it, haha! In all seriousness, this is my favorite planner ever (and I’ve used a ton!) and find it so helpful each and every say to keep me sane.
- Metallic Monthly Deskpad ~ My favorite desk calendar! It is very large giving plenty of space to write, there is a notes section over on the right which I love, and it comes with quite a few shiny stickers as well!
- Work Life Balance Journal ~ I use this journal as a daily planner along with my LifePlanner! It’s undated so you can highlight the date at the top of each page and you have an entire page dedicated to each day, it’s so helpful!
- Sticky Note Tabbed Booklet ~ The sticky note pages in this booklet are easily my favorite from Erin Condren! There are six different types of notes and I love that they have the tabs, so I can flip to them in my planner quickly. I also just stick them on my desk and then get rid of them as I tick all the to-do’s off my list!
- Mauve Sling Bag ~ For when you’re on the go, this gorgeous mauve sling bag is perfect for carrying your planner and spacious enough to fit other essentials for you too! I love mine!
Must-Haves for Stationary Lovers
I wanted to throw in just a few extras for those of you who love stationary, and we all know someone who appreciates personalized notecards or lists, so these would make wonderful gifts!
- Address Labels ~ I buy these nearly every year, they are the prettiest address labels and add a personal touch to every card I send!
- List Pads ~ These list pads are perfect for jotting down your grocery list, today’s to-do’s, or any notes that you just don’t want to forget.
- Personalized Notecards ~ I love sending thank you cards or writing little notes and Erin Condren’s notecards are top notch quality and beautiful to boot!
That’s a wrap on all the fun planner essentials for the new year with Erin Condren products, sweet friends! I hope you enjoyed this little planner-packed gift guide and I can’t wait to hear what you would love to grab for yourself or your planner besties!
P.S. I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving and that you are enjoying your weekend so far!

That sling bag is so cute! I also LOVE their address labels. Hmm! I need to check out that metallic calendar, I may like that better than their budget calendar.
