Bullet Journal Birthday Page
Self-care is so important and something everyone should take the time to do. A great time to take some extra special care of yourself is on your birthday.
Why not create a special Birthday Page?
Some ideas for what to include on your birthday page:
- Create a birthday tradition. Maybe a special place to visit or a cake you love.
- Reflect on what you have achieved since your last birthday.
- Do some goal-setting to make some dreams happen for your next birthday.
- Write down what you are grateful for. ( Here are some gratitude prompts if you are stuck for ideas)
- Plan a birthday itinerary. This could be everything from having your favorite breakfast to spending some time at your favorite park or beach, having coffee with someone that makes you laugh, or being pampered at a day spa.
- Write your favorite memories down from the previous year.
- Create a fun birthday bucket list that can be for the day or to achieve over the upcoming year.
- Stick in photos from the year
- Create a fun “About You” list. You could put your favorite color, movies, books, friends, where you have traveled. It’s so much fun to look back on later and see how you have changed and grown as a person.
Bullet Journal Birthday Month
Why not celebrate your birthday month with a birthday theme or bullet journal monthly log theme that is all about YOU!
You could make it with lots of Birthday doodles like the ones later on in this post or pick a theme that you really love. Make sure your cover pages and spreads all fit into the theme.
Here are some themes that could inspire you:
You could even do something simple like splashing out on some gorgeous new washi tape and creating your monthly collection all around it. We have lots of ideas on how to use washi tape in your bujo here.
Bullet Journal Gift Tracker
I like to buy my gifts ahead of time, maybe when I see something I know someone will love, or if there are some amazing bargains. I then can put these in a safe spot…and forget about them.
A great idea is to keep track of the gifts I have already purchased so I do not double up.
This is one we created for the Holiday season but it is so simple to change this to a birthday gift tracker.

I would really love to see a more focused article on creating a birthday page. Hints and ideas you mentioned in this weeks letter, such as goals birthday to birthday, reflections, and so forth. I can't quite gel the idea up, but it does sound really interesting. I don't need the usual birthday page. It’s just Hubs & I, 2 birthdays and an anniversary (25). Now that might be another page I would love, Anniversaries are so much more than flowers and a dinner date. Some thought and process should particularly go into celebrating our most important relationship. Thank you for the subject, we all need to examine and review the important things in life so they remain prioritized in the best order. Life can get in the way of things sometimes. Organizing and prioritizing the parts of our lives to maintain stability, can be made easier if we maintain a Review List of what's important to us. They needn't be complex. Just enough we don't drop an important life ball and hurt somebody!
Diary of a Journal Planner

Hi MaryAnn, My personal birthday page is somewhere that I think about what I have achieved for the year, wins, failures, growth etc. It is amazing how writing these things down can put things in perspective. See what you have managed to do in a year, and where you would like to see improvements. I don't have a special layout for this, it is more like a regular journal/diary page where I just free-write. I then use this to write down what I would like to achieve before my next birthday. For example if my highlight was a particular activity or hobby then I make sure it is my goal to do more of that in my life. These goals I then add to my regular trackers as simple actionable steps. We have a great post on creating goals HERE if it helps. Maybe you could set up a double spread with the headings of the things you want to write about and take note of? You will find this page evolves each year as you find more things you want to focus on. Good Luck and Happy Journaling.
