The Nice List: the Digital Planner
Perfect for using on your digital tablet or desktop
We are so excited to introduce The Nice List Digital Planner! The Nice List Digital makes holiday planning fun and simple when using your digital tablet, laptop, or desktop. With a range of inserts, you can customize The Nice List to precisely meet your needs, and with digital stickers and a range of fonts and styles, digital planning is so much fun!
What is a Digital Planner?
Digital planners are PDF files with embedded hyperlinks which can be used with a range of note taking or journaling applications on your tablet, laptop, or desktop. The PDF will work with Apple or Android devices and are great for paper-free planning. We recommend using The Nice List Digital with GoodNotes and Noteshelf.

All of the content of the print version of The Nice List including planning tips, gift giving ideas, and more.
A choice of two color schemes with coordinated tabs and a lovely digital cover

All of The Nice List Tools
THE NICE LIST TOOLS:
The Family Pages: a place to jot down ideas for those Meaningful Gifts -- even months in advance! No more relying on your memory for that perfect gift that occurred to you in September.
Coupons and Codes: a spot for tracking coupons and discount codes from all of the emails and online discounts common during the season.
List Pages: track which gifts have been purchased, from where, and for how much as well as shipping information.
Gifts Received: write down all of those gifts you receive -- and keep track of the thank you notes you send.
Journaling: The Nice List also has blank pages, gridded pages, and lined pages for notes, journaling, and scrapbooking. Paste in a copy of your Christmas card -- or the cards you receive. Put in some of your favorite photos from the season. Make notes about meal planning -- or record exactly what you made for Christmas Dinner. I am a journaler -- a little bullet journaling, some art journaling, some scrapbooking -- so I designed The Nice List to be flexible and a great place for recording the best of the season.

The Nice List files from are all 150 DPI and are not suitable for printing which ensures that the files are small enough to manipulate easily and not slow down a tablet.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?

Don’t move a page to a different tab or section. That will break the hyperlinks.

Christmas is a busy time, particularly for parents. With school performances, parties, shopping, baking, and decorating on top of the normal busyness of life, I know many people find the Christmas season to be… overwhelming.
But it doesn’t have to be.
Over the years I have developed a system that helps me stay on budget, on time, and sane! And now with The Nice List, I am sharing that system with you so you can have a more organized and more beautiful Christmas season.

A NOTE ABOUT RISOGRAPH PRINTING:
Garden Notes is produced using a Japanese Risograph printing duplicator. Imagine an old-fashioned printing press and a fancy copy machine had a baby -- that’s the Risograph. Each color of soy-based ink is laid down separately -- like a printing press -- on rich, toothy paper. Like screen printing, each page must dry completely before the next color is applied -- a process which takes days.The soy inks are applied like paint, and occasionally some smudging may occur. This is to be expected. And as with any handmade product, imperfections are part of the charm! The result is a beautifully printed, handmade product with rich colors and an artistic feel.Owl and Ember produces each printed product in small batch runs at our headquarters in Menlo Park, California. All Owl and Ember products are printed on FSC Certified papers.If for any reason, you are dissatisfied with your purchase, please contact us so that we can make it right.
