The best diaries and calendars for 2010

Stationary: Ilee Letterpress Calendar
Seeing as it's going to last all year round, why not indulge in some letterpress? There's not as many products in the UK as there are in the US, so if you're a real fan your best bet is to search on Etsy. We love this desk one, printed with a 107 year-old machine, on heavy thick card with retro type and quirky patterns.

Stationary: Smythson Bond St Organiser Malachite
There's nothing like a classic Smythson diary to see in the new year with bags of elegant style. Who needs an iPhone calendar when you can write everything down in this beauty?

The Dodo is back again, with another bumper-filled diary complete with quirky, weird and wonderful bits and pieces, doodles and random facts. Brilliant for time-wasting.

Diaries: Orla Kiely diary
Journal, £20
OK, so a diary without dates can be a little bit annoying (and technically isn't really a diary), but if you just want something to pen your daily thoughts, you can at least do it in style with this Orla Kiely hardback journal (A6 size) - perfect for charting your progress through your new year resolutions.
