The new A5 size 2016 Diary from BLOX has a thin hardback cover with rounded corners, a gusset pocket on the inside back cover, two grosgrain ribbons, an elastic strap to hold it all together and a pen loop. Printed with a dark navy print, with a choice of two covers that are so smart anyone would be happy to pull out this diary which doesn't label you in any way – after all there are times when you don't want the world to know that your social calendar is more school dates rather than cinema trips.
The diary has lots of info pages – including a section for "In Case I Lose My Mobile!!!", and year planners for 2016 and 2017. Each month begins with a double page calendar for an overview of what is happening and then follows a week per page on one side with a three column grid on the other. The lovely aspect of the grid is that the designers have left it up to the owner to label the columns and therefore you can change them every week as and when you need or want to.
I am really looking forward to filling in the pages of the BLOX Diary (and watching my neat handwriting deteriorate with the passing of the year!). Makes a perfect present or great stocking filler.
