20 drool-worthy to do notepads: the perfect Christmas stocking gift for business owners

In the words of Rihanna, werk werk werk werk werk-werk.

This is a perfectly simple "biscuit pink" pad, with very pleasing font at the top. Use the margins for times, numbers, ticks - whatever you dang want.

The A6 pad has 50 sheets made of 80% recycled fibres.

MiGoals make very nice stationery, and this to do pad is no different. The minimal and chic design allows you to separate your to-dos into 4 sections, including a "don't do" - which really tickled me.

Aime swears this to-do list is the only one that's ever kept her organised (and trust me, that's saying something!)

With 50 FSC certified pages that are between A5 and A4 size (B5), this roomy to do list pad is great for those with busy working days.

Sometimes you need to be threatened to get things done, and boy, does this cat look scary. I wouldn't want to be in their bad-books.

The cosy pink paper takes the edge off slightly, and I love the hand-drawn nature of the tickboxes and lines too.

You get 65 sheets of FSC certified paper in this notepad - that's a whole lot of to dos.

Oh, Laura makes lots of fun stationery, including some really cute stickers, cards and notebooks.

But we're here to talk about to do notepads, of which she has many in her trademark style: handwriting and pastel colours.

This A6 notepad is a reminder to do it today, otherwise you'll have to do it tomorrow - something I really need to keep in mind...

This was a suggestion from Studio Cotton Clubhouse member Abby Munro who runs Paper + Word, an online shop specialising in gifts for book lovers.

Abby stocks lots of cute notepads to get you through your working days, but this one was my favourite, with the lovely toadstools and lil frog to keep you company, and various sections for your to dos.

The cheeriest little notepad ever (I checked), full of smiles, and a bargainous £4. It's a dinky A6 size with 50 sheets.

I reckon the Good Day to do pad could brighten up even the most mundane of tasks.

While you're here I'd check out the other planner pads and notepads by Finest Imagery, because they're all so lovely.

The Completist make really lovely contemporary stationery - there's not a single design that I wouldn't love to have adorning my desk.

The A5 Daily Planner Pad includes a to do list, a bit to plan your day out with times, and a little section for notes/tomorrow too. There are 50 pages of FSC-certified paper and vegetable inks.

It comes in different colours/patterns too, or there's a more basic to do list pad if that's more your thing.

This vibrant notepad is giving serious old-school vibes, with the risograph-printed red ink standing out boldly against the coloured background.

There are 75 sheets per pad, and 7 colours to choose from, plus a two-tone option in many colour combos if you simply cannot choose just one.

The brilliant RISOTTO Studio goods are designed and printed in bonny Glasgow

"This one is compact, which forces me to use neater handwriting," says Studio Cotton founder Aime.

I love the bold red and blue ink together - a staple feature in all Crispin Finn designs - and the practical to do sections.

If this one isn't your vibe, check out the Crispin Finn pads collection, where you'll find more bold designs.

Well this is a jolly little to do list, isn't it?

If you like to keep your daily to do list concise (please can you tell me how to do that?) this short and sweet notepad fits the bill perfectly.

There are 50 tear-off FSC certified paper pages in this A6 notepad, so that should keep you busy for a lil while.

This is a very swanky little daily planning tool, complete with schedule, to do list, notes, and there are even weather options to circle - this notepad has got it all. AND it's pink.

If you prefer things way more minimal, Paperian also make a basic To Do Memo Pad, which has a lined list with checkboxes.

Not only does this notepad have a to do list and notes section, there's also an inspirational quote to get you going, and a space to write your goals or intentions for the day, to keep you on track.

There's no fuss to this 50-page notepad - the monochrome design is super sleek and straight to the point.

The Stationer is a really lovely shop, stocking their own products alongside other brands' stationery. This is one of their own designs, available in yellow or pink.

I absolutely love the delicately printed shapes across the top of this to do pad, the simple lined design with tick boxes, and the dotted area at the bottom, which would be perfect for those daily doodles that probably really help your productivity levels.

We love this subtle-but-vibrant to do notepad, with different coloured lines, and fun shapes for tick boxes, which echo the shapes used in number 18! Gosh, I planned this well.

Designed and made in their studio in Hertford, where Ozge and Anil started making their own stationery because they couldn't find notebooks they liked - their whole range is playful and colourful, so if that's your vibe, check 'em out.

A bonus one that doesn't technically follow the guidelines that were given to me for this blog post, but d'ya know what? I'm the one writing this blog post, and I love this super fun bingo notepad.

If you're all about getting a reward when you've completed tasks (like me), this would be an awesome little incentive - there's space to write a prize for completing a line or full house.
