This expanded version of the moleskin softcover is my current pick for journals. It's compact yet expansive, lays flat, and you can fold it. IYKYK.

A five minute journal is a great option for those new to journaling, as it gives quick yet impactful prompts each day - from morning to night - to begin living more intentionally.

This moleskin dupe will serve the same purpose. Alternatively you could go to your local dollar store, TJ Maxx, or Target and check the stationery section.

(and kind of vintage looking). This one has thick enough paper that it could also double as an art journal that you doodle, draw, and watercolor in.

I know a roadblock for some folks is the fear that another person will see what they write - so you could consider a combination locking journal with more privacy and no key to lose (a win-win).

A classic. To me, these have the perfect combo of richness and glide, and they're easy to find at most stores.

These Zebra pens are lighter weight, but still pack a punch.

Want to focus on and practice beautiful lettering and writing while journaling? This might be for you.

If you like going back and annotating or highlighting your own writing and prompts, I highly recommend these. I've only ever purchased on set and they've lasted years. 

My current choice for a tablet that allows you to type with certain cases, and mimic hand-writing.

Kindle Unlimited is a great last-minute gift for the voracious digital reader in your life. Even if it's something they already use, this will cover their subscription for the amount of time you choose.

A Kindle is something I put off buying for years and finally invested in earlier this year. I love it. This one is lightweight, waterproof, and perfect for traveling.

To add to the feeling of writing on paper, even if you've gone digital.

Apple pencils aren't the most comfortable if you do a lot of writing. Adding this grip can help with its feel in your hand.

One of the ways I've found to make writing on a digital journal more comfortable is having a way to grip or hold it like you would a physical journal.

There's something about curling up under a heated blanket that warms you all the way to your bones.

Readers get in some wild positions while trying to stay comfy, and journalers do too. One way to make it easier is a cozy and supportive pillow.

One way to quiet your mind enough to actually focus and deeply introspect? Through mindful movement and breath. I really like the app, Open, as an at home guided option. Click for a 30-day free trial.

Want to write for a while without worrying about that cup of coffee or tea getting cold? Same.

There are so many options, but you can use digital templates for Goodnotes or Notion to inspire your journaling practice further.

I'm not a bullet-journaler, but I know it has a cult-like following. If you want something more involved, give it a go.
