My family was given the first ever Dodo-Pad as a Christmas present in 1965, and my parents relied on it ever since. There was just one dreadful year (early 1970s?) when there was NO Dodo-Pad published; the prospect of being without one was so hideous that we bought a ring-binder and made and illustrated our own. Mum Dad, and each of us three kids all contributed some pages, drawings and jokes. We called it the DoDIY-Pad, and were very proud of it; but we were very glad when next year the Real Thing returned - we couldn't have kept it up as you have!

30/11/20 We're sorry you found our website hard to navigate. As discussed in our telephone conversation today, you agreed that the correct product WAS there under the search you performed but, as you did not read the description fully, you were not aware of the slight modification we had to make due to the pandemic/our inability to print a normal Personal size Filofax compatible refill this year. We wish you a happy and healthy 2021 and hope you choose to return to a Dodo Pad refill for 2022!

I am so delighted to rediscover. I used to read my mother's Dodo pad, over 40 years ago, and assumed it had gone the way of so many other analogue delights. I have just bought the diary, the Household Stuff book, and the Monthly Muddle pad, and they are brilliant. The whole family loves the diary and it is an enormous help to finally have everyone's appointments in one place. I actually caught my teenager checking it this morning; as a mother I feel my work is now done.

When I heard that the DODO world was up and running again I immediately ordered 2 desk diaries. Very happy and relieved but did have difficulty with the new online setup. I spoke with the new "boss" and she was confident that all would be well in a few days following the technical hitch. I love all the new and colourful ideas and the two 2022 diaries will be on their way later. Good luck and thank you from a happy customer for many years.

Love Dodo Pads :)
I have ordered the downloadable version of the diary this time to see how I get on with it. I am very pleased so far... I had a small issue getting it onto the phone in the first instance but Rebecca from DodoPad was very helpful and resolved the problem for me which was in fact my fault.
Would recommend this version to anyone who fancies a change from the physical book and likes to have it on their phones.

So dodelighted that you've taken on the Dodopad. I would be totally, doTOtally lost without my annual diary - my life bible in fact. Big BIG THANK YOU!! What could you possibly do better? I honestly can't think of anything. I bought the Dodo Book For Cooks years ago and it is amazing for writing or storing (in sleeves) recipes you want to keep and refer to. This was discontinued. May be worth revisiting?

Dodo-delighted, as always, with the shopping experience at Dodo Towers! Making the most of the last opportunity to buy Dodo Visitors Book - well in view of the sale price I bought two as presents : one for my daughter & one for my godson, who recently purchased his first house with his husband! The parcel arrived this morning - promptly & carefully wrapped. Thank you! :)

Excellent service - goods always arrive promptly - and the very best diaries - I'd be lost without them.
How about half width paper that we could slot in the diary - there is lots of room on the left hand side of each week but I'd love to be able to add in extra sheets (better if they are narrower than the diary size so that they don't interfere with quickly finding a date/week in the diary.

As I have been a dedicated Dodo customer for nigh on 40 years I don't think there's a lot more to make this item any better. I use the Gardening and Wellbeing editions , my children the Acadpad all through their lives. It pleases me greatly seeing politicians on tv using a Dodo pad discreetly under piles of files and I encourage enquirers to join the Dodo family whenever I can. SB Bristol

I purchased a desk organiser pad for my son and a Perfect Pet file for my daughter. Both arrived promptly and well packaged using recycled Dodo products so brownie points for that.
I have bought a Dodo product for them [and me!]for Christmas every year for about the last 15 years and they would be sorely missed if not under the tree!. Always good quality and original ideas with a smile.

I had to contact the owners due to a problem when ordering online. They offered a solution in a quick and friendly manner, which worked perfectly. So pleased new owners have been found to carry on the Dodo Pad product, which I love. Have placed the order for next year's diary early to support them and look forward to receiving in the next couple of months

I get a Dodo pad every year and use it for my work and home schedule. I could not live without it, I use the spaces on each day for all of my appointments and love having the whole page opposite to make notes and give myself reminders.
I struggled to get one this year so went straight to Dodo Towers and got it within a few days, fantastic.

As ever, fabulous service, the only regret is that the selection available has slimmed down this year with not so many lovely useful gift ideas. But I understand why, and am just glad to hear that Dodopad will still be around next year! Here’s hoping that there are better times ahead for the company and thank you for holding on this far.

I have bought a Dodo Pad for many decades and was very disappointed when its likely demise was announced. However I am now delighted that the Dodo lives on and I look forward to (hopefully) several more years of use and amusement. I must admit I have never bought anything other that the original desk diary.

I found the site, asked a question in chat, and received an answer during the Xmas break, which I did not expect. Based on the lovely email I received from Rebecca I spent £45! The Dodo pad is even better than I had hoped !1 Great service and fabulous product. I shall be buying again.

Every week there is a new delight. Ans though there is only me to use it, the boxes mean I can divide up my day and know at a glance roughly what i i should be doing and when.
Sometimes confused with dates as the drawings obscure the numbers. I'd like them to be clearer.

I think the A5 is still quite small! I also do not want to have little facts in the week planning section. If little facts are to be included (and that is ok), they should be on the lefthand side where there is a whole blank page for writing and comments.

It was easy to navigate the website and find the products I wanted to buy. Also pleased that the discount code worked. (In previous years I sometimes found the discount did not show at the checkout stage, although it had in fact gone through!)

Emails are answered promptly and Rebecca makes you feel like you are their most important customer. Suggestions for products are made and, yes, it may generate another sale, but it feels helpful, not a hard sell. The products are fabulous.

Excellent customer service. Received a call to let me know part of my order would be slightly delayed which I appreciated. Fabulous products all made to a really high standard. Delivery is quick and efficient, very happy with everything.
