Family and friends bullet journal ideas
Contact details
Make a contact list for all your friends and family members so you always know how to call, email or send them a letter. This is very useful for family members that live far away who you want to send cards to for their birthdays or the holidays.
Family schedule tracker
Create a calendar to keep track of who does what when. You’ll always know who is available and who needs to go where. Keep this in your Bujo and make a copy for your fridge door, so family members can update it as their schedules change.
Birthday tracker
Use a yearly calendar or a monthly spread to stay on top of family and friends’ birthday and/or other important occasions. Use it to set up alerts in any digital calendar that you use.
Birthday gift ideas
Use your birthday tracking bujo spread to plan gifts for birthdays in advance. If someone tells you they want or need something during the year, write this down as a gift idea so you know exactly what to get them for their birthday.
Holiday tracker
Make sure you know which federal holidays and celebrations are coming up by creating a holiday tracker in your bullet journal.
Holiday gift ideas
Search Pinterest or stores for gift ideas and buy wrapping and bows on sale throughout the year. Do the same as you do for birthday gifts – when someone tells you that they like something or would love to try something, write it down as a gift idea so you know what to get them when the time comes (or when it goes on sale).
Holiday meal planners
Create entire meal plans for the holidays or doodle ideas as they come to you, so you aren’t left wondering what to cook the day before everyone arrives from out of town. Keep things simple if you’re feeling overwhelmed and use a holiday meal planner to eliminate as much as possible and choose the easiest dishes to make (or ask others to bring some dishes with them).
Family tree
Make a pretty family tree – you can decide how much of the extended family you’d like to include. Make it colorful or stick to a simple black-and-white spread. You could draw a tree or use lines and squares to show where each family member fits.
Medical appointments
Write down all your medical appointments in one spread for the year, so you know what appointments to book for the family, the address for each appointment, and when you need to see them again. You could include your GP, OB-GYN, dentist, optometrist, and any other specialists.
Thank you cards to send
Keep a list of names for anyone who attends parties or events you throw. At the event or soon after, write down what each person gave you as a gift so you can write them a personalised thank you card or message.
Family traditions
We all have family traditions and sometimes it’s fun to start one or try something new. When you find ideas online or you hear about a good one, write it down under new family traditions so you don’t forget to try it when that holiday comes around.
