I’ve always had an obsession with quirky stationery. I can’t really explain the feeling. It just makes me happy and excited.
I used to love Paperchase and I recently went in a Smiggle. The overriding feeling of wanting to go on a stationery rampage is strong! Luckily my little one also loves being creative. Therefore, I can now buy some new stationery items, and pass them off as hers. When in reality they are for me!
It is time to share my favourite stationery items with you all

Journal
I love having a journal to fill in. When I’m feeling unwell mentally, or just wanting to work towards a goal. It’s great to write my thoughts down and start planning.
If you’re wanting to give something back to charity, but also purchase a journal, check out the great items on offer in the Oxfam online shop.
LSW Mind Cards also make wonderful journals.
Desk Calendar
As a busy mum, I need a desk calendar to keep me organised. And scribble down all the exciting family plans we’ve made.
Why not make your own personalised calendar with inkifi?
Post-it Notes & Memo block
I still have storage boxes full of quirky Post-it notes. Luckily, these days my little one helps me use them up when we are having a creative session. She’s such a creative little girl and I nurture this talent whenever I can.
Creating a personalised memo block for my desk is a wonderful idea. Check out how to do this with Smart Photo UK.
Letter Writing Set
I still love writing and receiving letters. For me, it isn’t old-fashioned. I’ve always dreamed of having a pen pal.
Paper High is a website full of quirky and unique gifts. Items you just wouldn’t find anywhere else.
Their letter-writing sets are amazing,
You can check out the full website here.
Highlighters
I’ve always loved a good highlighter. Especially in my revision days. But, I now use them to organise my to-do lists.
Office.co.uk have some great deals on all types of stationary, but also highlighters.
Until next time
What are your favourite stationery items?
Describe the feeling you have when you visit a shop or purchase your favourite products online.
I would love to hear from you in the comments below.
My partner and I have a thing for pens that come in the shape of human bones and hypodermic needles, because we’re little weirdo goths. If you’ve never bought either type of pens, I’d recommend it because they’re so cool

these pens sound very intriguing. I will have to do a Google search.
This is my kind of post. I love reading posts like this and I can relate to posts like these as I LOVE all things stationery. I love buying new notebooks and journals, love that fresh notebook feeling. I have actually brought a few of these things for myself ready for university in September. Thank you for sharing your love of stationery!

That fresh notebook feeling – you can’t beat it!
I used to collect some much stationery items. I would collect notebooks, pens, and so many other things. I am glad I finally used the items.
that’s the problem – you have to use them at some point!
I love stationery of all kinds, notebooks/journals are my favourite. I started using a Happy Planner this year and there are so many cute add-ons, stickers, and washi tapes to go with them. Stationery is part of the reason I have no money lol.
I need to check out the Happy Planner – sounds amazing!
I also get excited about buying these items; I love to have a little stationery stockpile that I can dive into, haha!
Me too – I think I need to go stationery shopping again.
Journals and highlighters are definitely my favorite stationary products! Great list.
Love this – highlighters are mine 🙂
Highlighters are definitely my favourite to buy! Love a new notebook too, though I’ve already got too many.

I have way too many. And I really want some pastel highlighters!
I don’t buy too much stationery but I love a new notebook / journal! Also, I love filling up a new calendar x
I always need a calendar, otherwise nothing would ever get done! And journals are amazing!
Oh I also love shopping for these things. They give me happiness. And they are useful too.

Such happiness x
All of these are very useful. I use post it notes all the time. Always have them by my side.
They are so useful, for reminders and making a quick note.
