New year, new narrative. What's your next character arc gonna be? 

We’ve built an archive for five distinct "Main Character" vibes you might be serving up in 2026. Each toolkit in here is a hand-picked collection of planners, hobby notebooks, and accessories we that are going to serve your energy this year and make it your best chapter yet. 

Your Character: The Craftsman
Your 2026 chapter is all about: Building an enduring legacy or body of work 

Suggested Character Toolkit: 

• Plant Leather Folio: Like a well-worn leather apron, this folio gets better with age. It’s the professional, rugged home for your most ambitious ideas. We recommend a Saddle Brown. 

• The Craft Notes: Specialized tools for specialized hands. These are notebooks designed to hold the technical nuances of your trade, from glaze recipes to character arcs. This could mean you're looking to include a Pottery Friend or Textiles Friend, but it could also be something like a Writing Friend or Cooking Friend. 

• Project Friend: The blueprint. Use this to break down your "magnum opus" into manageable milestones. This is where the vision meets the schedule.

• Classic Notes: For the messy middle. Use the lines for your prose and the dots for your technical sketches and scale drawings. Ruled Notes, Bullet Notes and Graph Notes will all be extremely useful in your toolkit. 

• Future Planner: Ambitious visions are brought to life with good time management. Keep an eye on the year ahead and map out your goals and action plans. 

How to nail being The Craftsman this year:
The Craftsman is focused on the bigger picture. An enduring legacy that showcases skill and passion and vision. To make this chapter of your story a true reflection of that main character energy, take the time to truly invest in your craft and develop your vision. Pen to paper is the best place to start.
