22 Mother’s Day Gift Ideas Our Editors Have Tried and Loved (2025)

I love the mastermind on paper, but I often find that I need a second notebook as well in order to keep the rest of my ideas and to-do lists somewhere. This changed once I tried the Roterunner purpose planner. The wide B5 is designed with space for multiple lists and even organized for you in advance: the weekly spread has a list of jobs, families, projects and friends, plus some purchases rather than purchases, and even habits and gratitude trackers. Additional rewards? There are two blank pages each week for writing out more random ideas, specific to-do lists (there are five lists every day on the main differences, but sometimes not enough for me), or brainstorming for future projects. Finally a planner who can do it all. This is an undated six-month planner, so you can start and skip a week or even a whole month anytime, without having to deal with a lot of blank pages.
If she already has a planner she likes, then give these beautiful highlighters from the passion planner. I used the “Essentials Set” ($16) and the retro kit ($16) colors in my personal highlighting system so that I can see my stuff, stuff for my kids and what I should take a quick look at. Both sets of colors are beautiful and vibrant, and if she is more of a graffiti person, there are wide highlighter and pen ends. – Nena Farrell
