Why it works

Between the ages of 8 and 11 comes the need to have something of their own that nobody else reads. A diary with a padlock and key answers exactly that, and along the way gets them writing without anyone telling them to. This one is thick and has good paper.

Our verdict

A thoughtful small gift for someone aged 8 to 11. If they do not like writing, it will not convert them: choose something else.

They will like it if

  • they write, make lists or draw in secret
  • they have nosy siblings
  • they are starting to want privacy

Bear in mind

  • the padlock is symbolic: it will not hold out against a determined sibling
  • the keys are small and get lost

What's in the box

  • 328 pages
  • Metal padlock with keys
  • Page marker
  • 11 x 15.5 cm
  • Can be used alone
