Our annual round-up of Diaries, Calendars, Planners and Stationery for 2024!
Yes folks, it’s time to get your act together!
New Year? New outlook? Or just time to get your sh*t together?
In all seriousness, we know you all love stationery and diaries as much as we do here at MGTH. Every year this is without doubt our most popular gift guide. Mine too.
We’ve gone and found what we believe is some seriously stellar stuff to get you started on your personal 2024.
From notebooks and stationery to wall planners, diaries and calendars and just plain good stuff for your organised work life, it’s here.
The list includes some of the most awesome makers, designers, artists, illustrators and all round legends from the Australian small creative business community (and a couple of friends nearby).
Remember that every time you support small you’re making serious votes with your economic choices for the kind of world you want to live in.
Here are our picks for 2024! What’s your favourite?
