The cover options include over 60 colours and textures, from minimalist Naturale Black to statement-making Python Gold. Inside, choose from a 2021 planner, blank, lined or dotted pages, and even coloured paper. Lastly, have their name spelt out on the front in 15 characters or less in rose gold, gold and silver.
