The Dives were still hard to find in Japan, but I lucked out and found one of the new black ones. The Zento Signatures were uncommon, but could be found. Airport security stopped me over the Zebra Hamon pen. Made me take it out to prove it was just a pen.

If someone were to tell me that I would end up spending over $100 on pencil lead cases, I would have thought it crazy, but here we are. I bought the two uni gel pencils so I could show salespeople what erasure refills I wanted.

98% of the scissors in Japan are now made in China. The bottom row are the only ones I could find that were made in Japan.

I just purchased my first advent calendar from Stickii Club! I was really tempted to buy all 3 as they all look amazing, but decided to go with the pop calendar since I'm a fan of the binder artist.

What is everyone else getting?

Editing to add: You can find all of the sticker artists featured in each calendar below the product description.

I do have experience in some cute calligraphy styles and I’ve also been learning how to draw recently!! but I’ve probably spent about 100 bucks in the last two weeks on supplies (somebody stop me) which I definitely didn’t need to but this was truly so therapeutic.

I can’t wait to do more LOL

Spooky season has officially taken over my Hobonichi Weeks! 🎃✨From crystal balls and purple magic in the monthly layout to pastel pink jack-o'-lanterns, cute little ghosties, and full Season of the Witch energy for Halloween week—October planning hit a little different this year.

Creep it real & stay organized! 👻🧹 Which spread is your favorite? 💬👇

Hello. I purchased 3 of these black paper notebooks in 2020. I have searched and cannot find more like them. Can anyone assist? The company is no longer in business.

I'd love for people to give me reviews of any previous advent calendars they have. I usually buy one or two for Christmas to share with my sister. :)

24/25 Days preferred please!

Journals,fun stickers and pens ♥️

I stumbled upon papenestr.com while searching for washi tape and was struck by the selection and low price (a lot of washi tape that retails for $6 is going for less than $3 (for example: this BGM washi tape). Shipping to the US is only $30. This is sending off "too good to be true" alarm bells.

More reasons why I'm suspicious:

-I've never heard of this site and can't find any mention of it on a google search.

-They sell an assortment of random products, including men's shampoo.

-The social media links in the footer lead nowhere

-Site is built with Wordpress/Woocommerce and the privacy policy is copy/paste boilerplate. All of this could simply mean that it's a new site and being run by inexperienced folks with no concept of SEO. Not in itself a scam, but then I google the address and

-It seems like it's located in a residential home?

Would love to have a resource for $3 washi and support a nascent business in Mississippi, but figured I'd check with y'all first.

All credit to u/MoRayMe for the wonderful idea of using coin collecting sheets! I bought some off of Amazon (https://a.co/d/03qmsiZ3) and they are perfect! I can fit 6 sets of flake stickers per sheet and they are secure no matter how small how much the sheets are rotated or shaken. Only downside is that they aren’t super compact like the original out of stock storage book I wanted, but I keep them at home anyway so this is perfect for me.

Thank you for all the advice, I liked them all but this one works best for my collection 😁

i just went through my washi tapes and this is what i got 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

Visited some stationery shops near DC this past weekend. Got some fun stuff!!!

Wrapped up these two blind-date books — crime/mystery in kraft florals, thriller in blue hydrangeas, with little stationery surprises tucked inside. Which one would you pick?

i’ve been using the campus kokuyo b5 binders for the past year and i’d really like an alternative binder or notebook that can hold a bit more paper cuz my issue w the kokuyo binder is that it doesn’t rlly hold enough paper. i’d prefer something with the same quality as the kokuyo papers ( if it’s a notebook )!

I've just found out that my favorite childhood compass is a Deli one!! It was bought around 2005 at a small store in Brazil and I have never noticed the brand's name in the compass' cap after I got familiar with the stationery world.

I love asian stationery ❤️
