I bought last year's Heidi Swapp planner, but I returned it. The covers were very flimsy. I decided to give it another try this year. I could see changes took place because right away there is a choice to make between two sizes. I chose the larger planner, because I want plenty of room to add all the great embellishments available and small photos of friends or family. It also has photo pocket pages -- one with two @3" pocket and this alternates with one with six @2" pockets. The front inside cover has pockets to carry some of the items sold separately or notes and things of your own. One complaint -- the four holes are too tight. I'll re-punch the holes to make them larger so they'll turn more easily.
It was everything that I expected the planner is great and I love it.
My second Heidi Swapp planner-my only issue is that you have to kinda shake all the pages down to close it-
Design is otherwise good-live the embellishments!
Let me start by saying that the artwork is absolutely beautiful. But I was somewhat disappointed when I received my binder. It does not seem to be up to the same standards as Heidi Swapp's other planner products. The binder itself seems to be made of inferior quality materials. As mentioned by another reviewer, it does not close easily (the binder itself, not the rings). You have to actually shake it down hard. Some of the printing on the calendar pages is very difficult to see. And it is a little confusing that the monthly calendar starts on Sunday, but the weekly starts on Moday. It takes some adjustment. I love the fact that it has different areas for Important Moments, Happenings, Notes as well as a lined and unlined area for each day. I would have liked to see real 5 1/2" by 8 1/2" page protectors. I cannot even seem to find any for sale. Even though it could not be practical if any thicker, a couple phone number pages as well as financial pages would be useful.
I love the gold polka dots, the dividers, the colors, the sturdy square shaped binder, the inserts.
This is my second HS planner, and I'm sure it won't be my last.
This is an amazing product, and so pretty! I have never had a weekly planner, but when I saw this I just had to have it. I never realized how fun and even important it is to document our daily lives. This planner comes with so many lovely items which make it fun to write and add things to it every day. My granddaughter saw it and now she has to have one! Love this product!
For someone like me that never has time to start a big scrapbook project, this is the best way to do so while using a planner at the same time! I just wish that for the price that it came with accessories besides just the basic pages and dividers. It's absolutely beautiful and reminds me of Kate Spade patterns, which is exactly my style. This has brought scrapbooking back to life for me and I see myself using these products for the rest of my life.
I have used Heidi Swapp planners for five years now. They are exactly what I look for in a planner. I love the way they are set up horizontally with lots of space to write and use stickers and sketch. I love that they are ring binders.
When I discovered that Michaels wasn't carrying them this year, I had to go online and order from Scrapbook.com. It came in plenty of time for me to start new again in 2021.
I am in love with this Memory planner. And now that heidi swapp added a pen holder, i believe it is perfect !
I am particularly fond of this journal and the pages included. Writing my daily thoughts in this book will be a wonderful memento for my children, and will give me a lot of pleasure as I do the writing.

I am not sure, she does have another type of planners that are exclusive to a different store, but more than likely she will, she is always coming up with new products, you could also search Google for Heidi Swapp planners. I neither work or am affiliated with Heidi Swapp and I am only offering information that I myself have experienced.

If I wanted to add photo pocket pages, which brand would fit this binder?

I am not sure, however she does sell a punch that makes holes that should fit this binder. It is called: Heidi Swapp - Wanderlust Collection - Binder Punch - 4 Hole.
Are there any other binder cover choices that will fit this system? Can I use pages punched with the CINCH in this binder?

Any A5 page will fit. You may have too many rings or have to punch more rings. Binders all have different number of rings.
Does this planner include all the things shown in the YouTube video as well; or are we buying the planner only?

Some things are included -click on planner to see list of included materials. I ordered, but haven't yet received-due this week.

Why do these planners start on Monday? The first day of the week is Sunday and while I understand that the work week starts on Monday, I find it confusion when my planner and my calendar and my planner don't start on the same day of the week.

I like mine to start on Sunday also so I took a thin strip of black chalkboard type washi tape and covered the days and then re-wrote them with chalk ink. I love the way it came out, didn't take very long and I think it adds that personal touch for me. I like to customize my planners anyway.
