This has got to be the best planner shop! Top 3 for sure!!! Those freebies tho ❤ especially the details in the freebie mini’s. I am honestly blown away. The prices are CRAZY inexpensive. I can’t believe I’ve never heard of this shop!! 🎉 what a treat!!! ❤❤❤
Thank you for the freebies! I print and cut them yesterday and now I'm making dividers and decorating my Mini Finsbury - everything is SO CUTE!!
Aww you're welcome!
Thank you for this! Random, but you're one of the few people I watch on here that I don't have to turn on closed captioning because you speak so wonderfully clearly!
Ahh that's brilliant - I've spent so much mental energy tweaking my microphone and sound lately 🤣
I have finally actually got a mini! Yay! ❤x
Great video - planner looks amazing ❤Just ordered my mini Malden today! Woo hoo! 😊
Im really glad that I came upon uour channel. I have been looking for inserts for my mini planner and I think yours are the best. Thank you so much for your freebies . I definitely will be trying them out ❤😊
This is awesome ❤
After planning in A5 and HP Mini I have moved into a pocket size as well. I’m liking it so far.
That's so beautiful, thanks.
SO cute 💙 Eyeing the mini in navy … TFS ✨
Yes! You're back! Hooray!
I'm *very* back - the next video should be up in a couple of days 🥰
I would love the inserts and use them for sure Ellie ❤ Thank you. I have a Gillio Mia Cara mini.
Aww you just missed them! 🥹
Thanks so much for making the inserts free! These are great, and pack all the things needed for me to use my pocket as a catchall, instead of just a wallet!!!❤❤❤
I love my blue mini, which i use as a wallet and running tracker....but now you've got me wanting an ochre one! And new inserts, cause the ones i have from you are several years old
I love your video! You also have a very pleasant voice and way of speaking that is fun to listen to. 😍
Also Thank You for the freebies! You made me want them! 😅
Thank you so much! Help yourself to the downloads - they've been very popular so far 🥰
Wow beautiful, I have mini but do not have any ideas to put inside. Now I get the ideas from you. Thank you.
You're welcome!
I ordered a mini ring planner and didn't know how to use it!!! Thank you for the fabulous video.
You are so welcome! 🥰
I bought the mini Malden after your first mini video all that time ago- I bought some inserts from you then, too- but I just couldn’t get on with it. I’m a very minimalist person so was disappointed I couldn’t suss it. Love your new Weekly insert designs and looking forward to seeing how they work out!
Same! I'm wondering if it's just a case of figuring out *exactly* what you need from it and making sure you don't try and make it a one-for-everything size. We'll see! I'll do a follow up 🥰
I absolutely love all my minis, i use one every day, its always with me. Everything gets scribbled down and then i use stickers and neat writing 😂 ect in my PW.
I use the filofax week on two pages but will definitely be looking in your shop now, think my mini needs dressing up!
Thank you! 💕
Haven't watched the video yet (I will!), I got a Filofax mini Saffiano after your first video about the mini malden (you enabler 😁) and use it as my on the go planner, it is so cute and I'm surprised at how much I can get in, I have quite a lot from your shop in her, I actually prefer this size to the pocket now for out and about. My main planner is personal size rings, I like my set up but need to change the cover at regular intervals. Anyway, off to watch now.
Oh fantastic! So glad it helped! The freebies may just give you a refresh - the foldouts are a definite improvement on the standard size ☺️
Always been a fan of the Mini size for a number of years now. However, finally after 2 years of trying I have managed to purchase a Plotter Mini 5 (Japan) and the quality is amazing much better than Filofax, though much simpler design with no inner pockets or slots in the insides. Had to purchase a pre loved from eBay shipped from the US as Plotter will not ship to the UK directly. Do have some of your kit Ellie and keep up the great work!
Oh I've heard of those just recently - that's interesting! I'll have to have a look and see if I can get one. There's such a poor choice of sizes in the UK if you don't want a Filofax 😫 Thank you 🥰
Thank you so much for the free printables!
You're welcome! Hope you like them! 🥰
That Planner Key looks very handy! I just made an order on your etsy site, but didn't see it there! Bummer!
Thank you! They/re freebies in orders ☺️
I’ve been using the A5 and it’s getting awkward to carry around so I’m thinking of going to the pocket size. Very useful video.
That's a big jump! Have you thought about personal? So much more portable and a good step-down - also, I'd recommend cutting up some pages to size first to see what feels right ☺️
Lovely video Ellie., I NEED a mini now!😂 I must admit I have been toying with getting one for some time. Thank you for the freebies, will they be printed as actual size?! My computing skills are not the best. 😂 Thanks again. ❤️xx
You're welcome! When you print them at 100%, they'll fit - I do them printed too if you're struggling ☺️
Hi Ellie, I loved this video and have already ordered the new weekly layout, but wanted to ask if you will be doing a printed 2024 ( at least for the rest of this year) monthly calendar (the one that you are showing us) I can see you have an online version to be printed by ourselves but as I do not have a printer I just wondered if a printed version would be available in the shop? Thanks. Debbie. 😊
Hey Debbie! They won't be in the shop, but if I remember (😵💫), I'll pop some in for you 🥰 I'll make a note!
@@sortstuffout thank you so much Ellie. 😘
Love this video, I bought the exact same colour Mini from Amazon this week, so this is brilliant. Your dividers are gorgeous, will they be for sale on your website?
Thank you for making some free inserts, that is super kind 😊 Also,, I had been desperately waiting to know if the rings had held up on the ochre one 😁 xxx
Ahh thank you! The dividers are on both Etsy and the website - I've got myself organised this time, LOL! The rings were totally fine - totally not a deal breaker if they're a little off ☺️
I use my mini as my out and about planner/wallet. Only thing is I rarely go out as I work from home lol. Love the dividers !❤
Can I have the Filofax inserts from mini Malden please thanks
Love the video always thorough and love how you are comparing the 😅Malden’s!
Absolutely! If you can email me (ellie@sortstuffout.co.uk) with your address, I'll get them in the post on Monday 💕
I have a question what if I only had pocket sheets and wanted to use them up, any ideas to use them in a M5 planner? It's because I was able to order a m5 cover but money is tight when your Jobless with a 5yr old child. Yes, am looking for a job.
Well the holes are evenly spaced, so that's a good start - you'd just need to trim off the additional hole and make it 105mm rather than 120mm. It would take a bit of trial and error, but it could work!
@@sortstuffout thanks I'll try that but also thanks for the free downloads.
Love the Mini Maldens but as with the pocket Maldens the pen loop just does not work with side tabs even with the ones supplied. They just get totally squashed up, ruined. Ther simply is no space at all when closed. Have Finsbury Mini and no problem with side tabs and the pen there. I don’t know about the Malden Personal. They must realise this when desigining the organiser. I find it very strange. Anyway enjoyed your video.
Exactly! It's very odd - surely they must realise it when making them? I love the design and my personal and A5 Maldens have been brilliant. Maybe the longer clasp will help with this one? I'll do a follow up and I'll definitely be covering this!
Will never buy from Amazon- but ive had my pocket cover (bought from an op shop) for nearly 15 years... finally starting to fall apart sadly
Oh crikey that's lasted well!!
Hi I have a question if you could help me out. How do you punch 5 holes from a 6 hole punch.
If it's an adjustable one, you just need to make sure it's lined up carefully - the holes are spaced evenly, so the 6th hole is just an extra one you don't punch... if that makes sense! I use the Rapesco adjustable ones and there's a mark to line them up ☺️
I would love to have that to try to use it. That would be great if you would send it to me.
What size paper did you print the inserts on?
I used A4 and then trimmed it down to size, I've included US letter and A4 in the free printables though
Get thee behind me, satan! Stop trying to lure me into the world of the mini!! I really really want this.......
🤣🤣🤣 I'll do a follow up at the end of next month so you can see if it's worth it!
Thanks for inspiring! I really want something small enough to carry. Thank you for the free printables!
