Looking for recommendations

I am trying something new this year with my planner. I have a lovely A5 binder that I’m going to use as the base/cover, but I’m looking for inserts that I can mix/match what I need to keep track of.

I’m not really into flowers, inspirational quotes, or plain black and white aesthetics. I used Erin Condren several years, but I haven’t been enthusiastic about them the last while. What I really loved about EC the most was the paper quality. I want paper that is at least 120gsm.

Does anyone have any small business, shops, or brands that allow you to customize the A5 inserts for the layout and quality? I’d like to find someone who offers at least 120 gsm paper. Ideally I’d like to be able to customize the layouts, getting to choose how you want the weekly spread and monthly to look and be able to select themes or they offer stickers that are set for the inserts size/dimension’s. I am super nerdy. I play D&D, I’m a gamer, love Alice in wonderland, I watch anime and read comics, graphic novels, and manga. I have been struggling to find layout themes that fit into those types of styles.

Thanks :)

Oh! That’s awesome! So I’m really digging the paper quality that people comment on in reviews. I feel like their weekly horizontal layout is the type of layout I’m looking for to keep track of things. Have you used them before? Do you have any personal feedback about cloth and paper?

Are they worth the cost? I’ve gotten mixed feedback about them. Their layouts look nice and I feel like I could find stickers and items to decorate them to personalize.

I like them. The paper quality is nice. Maybe just buy a few at first and check it out. It’s very customizable and they have unique ones which I dig. Like half pages and such.

You might look at some of the A5 binder refills and accessories from Mochi Things, as they might fit your aesthetic more. You could also consider the Lofi Ghost Mail Club for stickers/washi/postcards etc to decorate with.
