Shoutout to Pierce because your videos have gone to whole other level since he’s been working with you! (And as a boy-mom, I love y’all’s close relationship!) My 2025 LDs arrived last Friday but I still watched this bc you’re always so thorough & wonderful and your excitement is always fun to hear. Have a great day Amanda!
Great video. Laurel Denise Planners are the only ones that give me fomo at this time. Unfortunately their sizes and layouts don't work for me but I love that group and watch their videos anyway. they are too fun!
I hear ya Susanne! We can still window shop right?! And definitely can still be a part of the group and enjoy their content! they are so fun and bring joy!
Same. I’ve given Auta Estelle all my money this year and next and I watched the LD video and I’m trying desperately to find SOMETHING. I “need”. I love their personalities and the fact that they are a small business. Somehow the project planner and some sticky notes since they are in a cover 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 may end up in my cart. Also that clipboard and brain dump pad looked appealing 😍
@@JessicaSmith-ie7cm I just can't anymore. I don't need any of the accessories as I have all of the other categories taken care of. I also hate paying for shipping for small things so that stuff gets bought at a local brick and mortar store now.
Oh my goodness!!!! Thank you so very much for sharing this video! I LOVE the portrait planner! If it was in dark green, I would definitely purchase it❤️
As always, thanks for sharing such a complete review for Laurel Denise! I’m loving my mini vertical. I’ll get undated next time so that I can modify more easily 💛
Amanda, your videos are so great. You're the reason I own 2 LD pouches, even though I've never had one of her planners. My desk is small, but putting one of the smaller ones on a stand is getting harder to resist. They really listen, and these planners get better every year. (Plus, their designer has my number.)
Well, I thought I wanted the Kenwood, until I saw your up close and personal video. Now, it's hard to decide! 😊 Love that all cover colors are available for horizontal and vertical.
Oh my gosh! Just when I thought I'd found my memory planner for 2025, but the portrait planner is calling my name! Thank you for the thorough review! Greatly appreciated!!!❤❤❤
I must say I’ve looked at quite a few of laurel Denise reviews but none of them helped me as much as this one and now I’m ready to place my order thanks so much indeed!
Thank you for this wonderful video Amanda! 💞 I love LD and the new collection is so beautiful, love their colors and aesthetic… 😍👏🏼 and quality of products is just amazing! I ordered Sunny days mini for a special purpose in my life, but going back tomorrow probably for some accessories and pen pouches! 🙈 I love the pen pouches just like you do! I’ve convinced myself I need the new Garden Song one! 😅💞
😮 Oh my gosh, GORGEOUS covers this time! Well actually they're always gorgeous lol. I have been using these planners for three years now, it is definitely the perfect planner for me. This last year I used the mini and I loved it! I was feeling like the full-size one was really overkill for me. I am in love with the Twilight cover! I think I've made my decision and that is the one I am going to choose. The portrait planners are interesting… I don't think I will switch right now but they are interesting and worth a second look. Thanks so much for the review, as always I love watching your videos.
I went with the Sunny Days. Before it arrived I thought I may wish I'd chosen another cover, but it just delightful. I am so so satisfied! It's even better than the images on the website. I think I have copied you every year. Which pen pouch did you choose to go with Sunny Days? Thank you for the discount code.
I got the Yellow daisies and Garden song pen pouches. But honestly I love all her pen pouches! And I love Sunny Days so much! I am glad you like it too:)
Great suggestion from Natalie! I didn't know about their free size printable when I filmed this video! I will make sure to mention it in the next one:)
I think as they have grown they order more each year....just when they have something new like the portrait it sells out because they keep the numbers smaller at first to test how it sells. So hopefully this launch you can get what you want:)
Always love your reviews! I’ve been in the horizontal but thinking I may try the portrait for next year. I don’t always do well with vertical columns but having that wider space may be just what I need to adapt to it. What sticky note size do you think works best with the portrait planner?
I would probably get the 9x12 set for the portrait planner. I just think the bit bigger sticky notes fit it great! And I do love the wider vertical columns in the portrait planner too!

Loved the editing during the intro!!
Aw, thanks! I will pass that on to Pierce (my son who edits for me now).
Great updates! wish the portrait planner had the same amazing double coil. So glad the covers are available in each direction
Thanks for sharing your thoughts:)
Oh my goodness!!!! Thank you so very much for sharing this video!
I LOVE the portrait planner! If it was in dark green, I would definitely purchase it❤️
glad the video was helpful:) I am sure the portrait will come in more covers for the next launch now that it is so popular;)
@@AmandasFavoritesThank you for your reply, it really is an amazing planner! And just like you said, I've never seen anything like it!
If I didn’t need something I can throw in my purse, I would buy a LD portrait for sure.
The sticky note books would be great gifts too
oh, yes! great idea!
As always, thanks for sharing such a complete review for Laurel Denise! I’m loving my mini vertical. I’ll get undated next time so that I can modify more easily 💛
I do love that they still offer the undated options!

Lol! I agree they get better every year! And the pen pouches are totally amazing and beautiful!
These look amazing! Nice work 👏🏾 👌
Thank you! 😊

It is really hard to decide on a cover this year with all their beautiful designs. But I love that they come in both layouts too!
Oh my gosh! Just when I thought I'd found my memory planner for 2025, but the portrait planner is calling my name! Thank you for the thorough review! Greatly appreciated!!!❤❤❤
Yay! I would love to see the Portrait planner used as a memory planner!
I must say I’ve looked at quite a few of laurel Denise reviews but none of them helped me as much as this one and now I’m ready to place my order thanks so much indeed!
Awwww, thank you! Enjoy your order when it arrives!
All so pretty. I am thinking of switching to the project planner for 2025. Hoping they make it in the portrait layout one day.
Oh, that would be an interesting product for them!
Such pretty covers! Always love your thorough reviews!
Thank you so much! And the covers were so good this launch:)

I hear you Sonia! It is hard to say no to an LD pen pouch! I love the Sunny Days cover so much!
@@AmandasFavoritesyes it’s absolutely stunning! 💛

I am testing out the portrait planner again myself this week! the mini is such a good portable size if it works well for you:)

I'm so torn about getting the mini vs the regular siiiiiize!!!
Highly recommend printing their free size chart. I was torn as well then tested the regular vs. mini size and omg mini is tiny lol
Great suggestion from Natalie! I didn't know about their free size printable when I filmed this video! I will make sure to mention it in the next one:)
@@nataliepolito7150 Oh good idea!
I normally write in large, but have no problem shrinking it for my mini. Mini is portable, while regular is really not.
These give me FOMO too, I just hate that they sell out so fast

Where can I get an acrylic easel?
EC used to sell them....but they don't have these anymore. I would look on Amazon, Hobby Lobby...or stores like that. I bet Amazon will come through!
stores like Tj Maxx and Home Goods might have them too near their stationery aisle.
Portrait
I am using the portrait this month and really enjoying it!
Way too chatty….would love a straight forward review 😩
I always listen to constructive criticism. Thank you.
