Kikki K Grid Journal Review (Pros, Cons, Pen Test and Video Walkthrough)

Kikki K is basically the only ‘pretty’ stationery shop we have here in Australia so obviously it’s a place I frequent too often! I recently found this grid journal and, intrigued by the different paper inside, decided to test it out.

Quick facts

  • Size: approx 5.25″ wide x 8.5″ high
  • Grid inside pages (plus signs not dot grid)
  • Bright white paper
  • Contents page
  • Bullet journal page layout templates for tracing included

Let’s take a closer look!

To enlarge the screen of the video, click the square icon in the bottom right hand corner of the video (it will say ‘full screen’ when you hover your mouse over the icon).

The cover is very plain… Although since it’s a hardbound notebook I shouldn’t be surprised by their boring covers anymore.

Approx 1.5cm thick

Unlike dot grid notebooks this one has plus signs / crosses instead.

The only page with anything pre-printed is the contents page:

Something different about this notebook are the templates:

I tried doing a spread.. and wasn’t that big of a fan of the plus signs

It looks too busy and the templates don’t maximise the page (see the huge margin  / wasted space at the top and bottom of the weekly spread). I’d ditch the templates and rule up my own layouts.

The plus signs could be handy for line graphs if you want a visual way of tracking savings, weight loss or another goal.

Pen Testing

The paper quality was…. not that great.

Almost every pen and highlighter had ghosting.

Pros of the notebook

  • Portable size
  • Lightweight
  • Page layout templates for tracing
  • White paper

Cons of the notebook

  • The plus signs instead of dot grid is annoying (in my opinion)
  • Boring cover
  • Expensive for a very simple notebook
  • Paper isn’t very good quality
  • Only 1 ribbon bookmark

Would I use this planner?

No, the plus signs are too busy – I prefer dot grid paper for bullet journaling.

LONDON (AP) — Emperor Naruhito of Japan and his wife Empress Masako arrived in the U.K. on Saturday ahead of a long-awaited official state visit originally scheduled for 2020 before the coronavirus pandemic delayed those plans.

The smiling couple, who landed late afternoon at Stansted Airport north of London, will spend seven days in the U.K. carrying out private engagements before the official state visit begins on June 25. The couple have connections to the U.K., having studied at the University of Oxford at different times.

The trip was intended to be the 64-year-old emperor’s first overseas visit after he ascended the Chrysanthemum Throne in 2019. But it was delayed by COVID-19 . He later attended Queen Elizabeth II ’s funeral in September 2022.

The state visit begins Tuesday , when King Charles III and Queen Camilla will formally welcome the emperor and empress before they take a ceremonial carriage ride to Buckingham Palace. Naruhito will also lay a wreath at the tomb of the unknown soldier in Westminster Abbey then return to the palace for a state banquet.

Conservative Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Labour Party leader Keir Starmer, who are in the midst of a general election campaign before the vote on July 4, are both set to attend the state banquet at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday evening.
