Perfect! Even though it’s an “imperfect” item ✨The cover, detailing, paper, layouts, size is all just right!
I fell in love. The feel of the paper and the layout of the pages. Everything about the look is perfect to me. The binding and the cover is wonderful. I keep mine minimalistic and look forward to filling it in everyday.
I like that it is flexible without wasting pages. Hourly layout with lots of space to write your day. Great with washi tapes and stickers.
I got the 2025 Minimalist Planner (A5) in forest green. I have tried using other planners before, but this one is, by far, the winner!
First and foremost, this planner has a major advantage-it is not coiled like way too many other planners our there! And it actually does lay flat when you open it. As far as functionality is concerned, the most important thing for me is the vertical presentation of each week, and that all days of the week fit across two pages, so when I lay the planner flat, I can see the whole week at once. I also love that the pages are gridded. Another great feature of this planner is that it has other layouts that are helpful for planning, including yearly, quarterly, and monthly layouts. Then, before the beginning of each month, there is the Overview page and an extra blank page, which I personally find super helpful for goal planning and mind-setting.
In addition to the functionality, this planner is also very neat and professional-looking . The quality of the paper is great, it even smells like it, and the pages are thick. This planner feels luxurious!
The Minimalist Planner has everything that I want. It is cute and practical, and it does not have any extra stuff that I do not need. With this planner, I actually enjoy planning now!
I purchased a planner and a general notebook. Both are beautifully made. The paper is high quality, with no bleed-through. I am almost disappointed that the planner is yearly because it means I won’t need a new one for some time. Shipping was very fast and well packed. I am very happy with my purchase.
This is the best notebook i have ever owned. The paper is thick and it lats flat. Beauty. Treat yourself on this!
I bought the horizontal planner. I love the feel of the paper, the flexibility the horizontal pages provide. Love having the blank grid page on the right side. You can use it anyway you like and that can change week to week. Just perfect. I would love to see a horizontal minimalist option. Customer service has been great and shipping was so quick. Great planner/journal company!
I love these books! The quality is wonderful.
I tried another brand this year, but ended up coming back to H&O. Nothing else compares.
Thank you for these beautiful, Canadian products!
I ordered 2 tn size notebooks, 1 imperfect 1 not.
I cannot tell the difference. They make such a cute little set. Everyone was so nice to deal with.
I wanted a high quality journal to record my children's firsts. I received it quickly and it was exactly what I hoped it would be. Great cover and pages, with a really nice feel to them.
It really is a beautiful notebook. I am still trying to find the imperfection. sustainable made in Canada. I am now a loyal H&O customer with a few notebooks and weekly planner.
I have both a day planner and a journal from Hemlock & Oak, and I am so happy with them. The paper weight is perfect, the texture is smooth, and ink glides so easily over it. Seriously, these are very well designed and well worth the price.
First time trying this planner, and my original plan was to just play around to see if I wanted to switch to this planner next year since I already had a planner for this year. Welp, I just finished transferring my stuff from my old planner to this one cause it’s my new favorite. Will definitely be purchasing again for next year. Paper is great quality, no bleed through (and I’m using Sharpie highlighters), beautiful design and functionality!!
The books I got -- an agenda and a journal -- are much more beautiful than I expected. The binding is lovely. The paper is heavy, and takes every fountain pen and ink that I've used so far. It makes writing a pleasure. The agenda is more than I need now that I'm retired, but it serves as my desk copy. I certainly will be a repeat customer.
I am totally enjoying the daily planner. The simplicity, flexibility, and of course the beautiful paper makes it. Already planning for 2026 and I will purchase the two 6 month planners so it is more portable. Curious about the version with lighter paper. H&O is by far my primary planner.
I ordered a blank book. H & O shipped the book very quickly and I was amazed how fast it arrived. And that was with it traveling from western Canada to Midwest USA! I was very pleased with the quality of the book, both the cover and the inside pages. And the bookmarks were a nice extra touch. I recommend this business and their products.
I recommend this to everyone. The best planner I've ever owned. The perfect layout. This is my third consecutive year using the weekly hemlock and oak planner. The horizontal planner is the best ever.
Delightful! I love having more room to write on. I also love the design, the cover and using white paper.
I’m loving my H&O Weekly Planner! It has all of the weekly planner slots that I need as well as pages/sections that focus on goals, insights, reflections that are great!
