I find myself moving back to the cute traditional diaries I used to own at 8 years old, even though I have that nifty “notes” app on my smartphone. Diaries remain a great way for girls to capture their thoughts and really learn more about themselves.
The great thing about diaries is that you’ll spend less time on your phone, and more time in quiet solitude. If you have a little girl and you want them to spend more time writing and less on their phone, then these diaries are sure to be handy every time they feel like plotting down a few random thoughts or exploring their emotions.
Unicorn Diary
“I purchased this diary for my 11 yr old daughter. This diary is so freaking cute. My daughter loved it. It came with a really cute pen, the book is very sturdy and they even included a special gift, which were some bracelets. I am very pleased.” — Ari B.
Rainbow Plush Diary
“For the price I’m not too upset with this cute, little rainbow notebook. It’s soft and the colors are bright. Only real complaint is the front and back cover look rushed and kinda like someone just Elmer glued the paper to the fur. Haha but yeah, for the price and the fact it’s for a 4 year old, it works!” — Amazon Customer
Butterfly Combination Lock Diary
“We got it as a gift for my niece and she loved it!! It is so pretty!” — Julie
Fuzzy Polka Dot Bear Diary
“The cute front pocket with mini-notebook, super soft plushy cover and the solid, pastel lock make this a stand-out diary for little girls. My 5 yr old grand-daughter loves it.” — Lilama
Heart Shaped Lock Diary
“So I waited a few weeks of using this to make sure my review was creditable.
I LOVE this journal! There are even pockets you can put letters in, an awesome planner inside, and card slots. For me, it’s perfect as I go to counseling, and it helps me keep everything in that journal from appointments, receipts, etc. 10/10 would recommend.” — Aly
My Favorite Things Diary
“This was a gift for my 10 year old great granddaughter. She just loved it. I gave it to her with some pens and she was very excited to start her diary.” — Lorelei
Life is a Doodle Combination Lock Diary
“I had a diary when I was young so I thought a diary would make a good gift for my great-granddaughters ages 9 and 11. When I first order the postal service lost them, so I reordered and told the seller what happened who was wonderful in handling my problem. I received the diaries yesterday and they are far above what I had hoped they would be. Nice diary along with a bracelet and pen. So girly. I know the girls will love them. Thanks so much for the quality and all the extras.” — Amazon Customer
Light Up Diary
“My daughter has been wanting a journal and I figured this was an affordable starter kit. I didn’t expect much but wow! It looks SO great in person and it’s packaged very well. I can’t wait for her to open it for Christmas. It’s definitely more than a fluff gift now that I see it in person. She’s going to have so much fun! Highly recommend. She’s 7 for reference.” — John
Salamander Plush Diary
“My Granddaughter really wanted her first diary. She loved it. Super cute and well made.” — Tammy
My Kitty Diary
“My 11 year old loves this diary! She brought it with her on a recent family vacation to Costa Rica and wrote daily in it. She loves the lock to keep her private thoughts “safe” and it’s small enough that she could throw it in her small backpack and bring it everywhere. Great find!” — K. Simpson
