Seconds Diaries: Perfectly Functional, Slightly Imperfect

Free seconds for training or trialling

Regular price   $ 69.99 Sale price   $ 0.00 Sold out

Perfectly functional with a small cosmetic quirk — these diaries have the same planning spreads, reflection prompts, and compliance structure as our full-price range, at a reduced cost. Ideal for training new staff, trialling diary use, or ending the year compliance-ready without the full investment.

Our Seconds Diaries are just as functional and practical as our regular hard cover diaries, but come with small cosmetic quirks such as a slightly bent corner, a faded cover, or missing shrink-wrap. Inside, the pages are perfect – ready to help you stay organised, compliant, and on top of your planning.

These diaries are also a cost-effective option for:

  • Ending the year compliance ready
  • Training new staff or students in documentation and planning
  • Trialling diary use before committing to a full-price edition
  • Giving children a “play diary” to explore organisation and role play in their own way

      If you don’t mind a diary with a little character on the outside, this is a great way to grab one at a reduced price and still enjoy all the features you know and love. Supplies are limited and each diary is unique, so don’t wait too long if you’d like to give one a home.
