Filofax Doodle Compact Review and Winners

A while ago I received two Doodle's to review, one to keep for myself and one to giveaway. As the one they gave me to keep didn't have the full inserts in they sent me another one!!! I felt so lucky, but it made me think, do I really need two Doodles, let alone one as I don't use Filofax sized rings, and the answer was NO.

I really love Filofaxes, there is nothing I hate about them, I love them to pieces!!!

But I decided my readers deserved to win them, therefore I decided I would give them all away.

Here is the Doodle in all its original packaging

It has a lovely pale blue grid pattern which is where you create your design, oh I wish I owned enough pens, this would be designed like crazy! But I don't (insert sad face)

When you open it you are greeted with no pockets but a new flyleaf.

No pockets isn't the worst thing to happen to the world, but still its not the best, well for me anyway, one thing you can do is you could buy some of those stick on business pockets and other pockets that Midori sell to stick inside.

I love the little logo

Its very cute!

Then there are blue and green tabbed dividers!

Past the dividers there are not many varieties of inserts, I was confused at first why there was no diary inside, but I read the description to find there was no diary! But that isn't the worst thing!

It is full of coloured note paper, to do sheets and address sheets.

Ignor my crappy nail

A today marker, but there is no diary? That bit confuses me a little??

As there is no pen loop instead they have made this amazing plastic wallet which has a pocket on the front and on the side a pen holder, very useful  I saw on Philofaxy a while back that Filofax are thinking of launching these as a product line!!! It is GENIUS!

In the pocket is a little sample piece of the material (I cut a tiny sliver off to test a few pens) and the spirograph!

I suck, I need more practice, but I love spirographing!!!!

I didn't test a ball point pen but the Sharpies worked amazing!!! If you have a huge range of Sharpies you could do AMAZING things with this!

I used my fine pink sharpie on a spare plastic broken wallet I have in my draw... its an amazing idea as you can customize these too!!! 

Worked so much better on plastic!! 

Overall the Doodle is AMAZING!!!!

The Compact costs £22
