1. Create Your Heading

To create my heading in this bullet journal spread, I used the letter stamps and ink pad from the Archer & Olive September 2022 subscription box.  First of all, I stamped the words “Countdown To” using the stamps.  

Then using a green Calliograph, I brush-lettered “Christmas”, making it fit in nicely with the stamped letters.

2. Sketch in your gifts

Using a pencil, sketch your 25 gifts on to your pages.  Vary the shapes and sizes of these to make the page more interesting.

3. Ink in your drawings

Using a black fineliner pen, I inked in my gift doodles.  I used a thicker 0.8 nib to ink in the outline of the doodles and then used a 0.4 nib pen to add the details.  

Once you’ve inked all the Christmas gift doodles in, you can erase your pencil marks.  Then randomly number each of the doodles.

Each day leading up to Christmas, you can colour in a gift doodle to signify how many days there are left until Christmas!

If creating this yourself seems a bit too much, then you can download a printable I’ve created for you here.  All you need to do is print it out and stick it into your bullet journal:
