Stationery Recommendations
Of course, to create a theme in your Bullet Journal, you’ll need some supplies. And with the amount of different stationery available, it’s easy to get lost and buy the things you won’t like or use.
So here are some of my recommendations:
- A journal. You’ll obviously need a journal for your pages, and the good news is that it doesn’t have to be anything too expensive; just find a journal that you like. Personally, I’ve been loving Scribbles That Matter journals (use code SAVE10 for 10% OFF).
- Fineliners. These are the blood of your every Bullet Journal page. They are great for drawing, creating your pages, adding lettering, and more. My favorites are Sakura Pigma Micron, and the set comes with pens of different nib sizes to add variety to your line thickness.
- Markers. If you want to add some color to your pages, markers are your best friends. There are plenty out there; I really like Tombow Twin Tone markers for their colors. And my top recommendation all the time are the Crayola Super Tips, since they come in many colors and are pretty affordable.
- Brush Pens. In case you want to add some brush lettering to your pages, you’ll need some brush pens. I recommend Tombow Fudenosuke, sine they are perfect for beginners and can be used for drawing as well.
- Washi Tape. If you want an easy way to decorate your Bullet Journal pages, washi tapes are the way to go! There are so many different designs and different colors; you’ll definitely be able to find something that fits your style.
With all the supplies at hand, let’s dive into some theme ideas for December so you can get started on creating.

And if you're looking for more, check out the "More Resources" section at the end of the post.
Let's dive in!
Let's start with your most traditional theme for December - Christmas. You have many different ways to approach it, and this creator agent for Christmas gifts, and I think it came out looking absolutely stunning!
A cozy home is especially important during the cold winter days, so I think this theme fits December very well. Plus, it's a great one to put your instant printer to good use and actually print some photos.
With December being the first month of winter, a lot of different themes are based on the winter weather, like this beautiful cover page that represents incredible and magical northern lights.
For me, ballet is very heavily associated with winter months because this is when the season for the best performances takes place. Plus, of course, ballet performances like Nutcracker are pure Christmas.
Snowflakes are a simple but super cute theme, and adding kraft paper like this creator did is definitely a fantastic way to elevate it.
As I mentioned before, there are plenty of different ways to approach a holiday theme, and this is another idea - create a monthly setup based on delicious and beautiful gingerbread cookies.
If you want to create a winter theme, you really don't have to go extra illustrative. This creator just used gold gel pens and some dark blue paper to create that festive and dark feeling of the winter months.
I don't know about you, but for me, Harry Potter is for September or December. And here is my take on this magical theme that was definitely fun to create.
I hope I recognized correctly that this is a moth theme. Either way, it looks sensational, especially with the black background. And it's a fantastic reminder that you can create any theme you want at any time.
If you want to create something holiday-themed but want to make it subtle, this is a way to do it. The creator used very cozy and holiday-themed colors but opted for a minimalist approach.
Half of the world actually celebrates Christmas in Summer, so creating something more summer nature-themed is also a great option for this month! In this case, Tose opted to use a symbol of New Zealand, where she lives.
Inspirations for a theme can strike from anywhere; I often get inspired by things I love, read, or watch.
For this page, the creator used their favorite anime as an inspiration, and it absolutely works! The colors and how well they look together add a special aesthetic to it as well.
To be honest, the lunar theme with a black background sounds more like something for October for me, but that's the beauty of Bullet Journaling; nobody can tell you what to do.
And I love how to make this more December-themed the creator used more traditional winter berries and leaves.
If you want something bright but simple, just using watercolor to add colors to your spreads might be a fun solution! In this particular case, the creator made it very winter-themed with blue colors and silver lettering, perfect for December.
I'll be happy with you; I felt like this was a galaxy theme, and the circles were colorful space planets. Onky later, I realized that these are actually Christmas ornaments. But there you have it, I think this cover page gives ideas for two different themes.
As somebody who doesn't really like cold weather, I'm not a huge fan of winter fashion, but I gotta love this theme, the cute designs, and the beautiful cool colors that somehow create such a warm and welcoming feeling.
Last but not least is this beautiful take on a houseplant theme. It's a hit every month of the year, and you get to play around so much with different succulent doodles and the way you decorate the pots.
