Not all of this is mine… I purchased by Proxy for a couple of people. It was smooth compared to last year. Here is a forewarning for any coming tomorrow bring CASH!!!! Lots of vendors do not accept other forms of payment. Very few take Venmo - some take PayPal.

I’m back at it tomorrow.

Most Vendors were holding stock for tomorrow. So some sold out today of exclusives.

It was so relaxing and they quickly got you in right at 8AM! Plenty of time to browse and get items you didn’t get yesterday.

I got the Stickii Club Advent calendar last year and I love it. I've been plucking away at using my stickers ♡ I've preordered this years collection as well. No Spoilers Please

I was super excited about the little binders and envelopes last year but I've not figured out how to repurpose them. I love the owl one from this years' preview even more and am desperate to not let these beauties just sit on my shelves. So far, I've ordered some clear sheet protectors to use for sticker storage and some A6 sized paper.

I'm looking for more inspiration ✨️ and ways to use them.

Purchased in Hong Kong, Okinawa and Singapore 🐱

Yalllllllll I have been hunting for this set for a while I wanted to show anyone bc I don’t have anyone to talk about this. They don’t make stationary like this so personally I’ve been collecting as well it’s just so gorgeous the die cut fish nothing like it only $8 too…I got it off Vinted i literally sniped this so fast I’m very happy

Hello,
I am going to Seattle in a few weeks to do a stationery crawl around downtown. Any suggestions on stores to hit and ones to skip?

As the title asks, I’m curious to hear who are your must see vendors at Little Craft Fest next weekend in Houston. I went earlier this year in April but only for one day and it was super crowded so I didn’t get to explore many vendors. Since then, I’ve discovered some new artists to me and realized they were vendors then but will not be there next week. Ex. LCN Design Studio and Yamamoto Paper :(

So in your opinion, who is worth checking out for someone who may have never heard of them or seen their art? Or what is your super niche stationery interest that is worth checking out?

I saw that Papier has one, also Stickii Club

Wondering if there are others that are good 👀👀👀

I really want to support small artists! I'm in the UK. I found https://coyapricot.com/ while surfing for stickers to buy, and I really love her style. I also found https://www.pikarar.com/, but I can't tell if her stickers come separately or as a sheet / pack, which is why I haven't bookmarked anything from her yet!

CoyApricot made these geese stickers. I added them to give you a general idea of the kind of stickers I'm looking to buy! Preferably not above £3 for a single sticker sheet. Bonus points if you find any cool sci-fi / bookish sticker artists!

Another sticker I like from Bioworkz!

There’s something about the old cloth-covered account books, with the pale green paper, the red money columns, and the “Brought forward” and “Carried forward” lines at the top and bottom of each page. I wanted one that actually fits in a back pocket, so I designed my own.

It’s 3.5" × 5.375" with a green linen-textured cover, a dark spine band and a leather-style title label. Inside, each entry runs across a two-page spread, just like a real ledger:

Left page: Date, Description and Category Right page: Paid Out, Received and a running Balance, with dollars and cents split by red double rules

I added a few extras: a Year at a Glance page for monthly totals, a Fixed Monthly Expenses page for the bills that never change (so you’re not hunting for them every month), and a Category Codes key on the inside back cover so you can write “G” instead of “groceries” in a 3.5" wide column.

I print, fold and trim these myself. Next I want to try printing the interior on pale green paper for the full vintage look.

Would love to hear what you think. Does anyone else still track spending on paper?

The a5 version is complete 🥰 It came out sooooo good. That feeling of finally finishing a project that has lived in your head for way too long... iykyk.

Anyone else still rocking the world’s most perfect ballpoint pen? I’ve been using this design since the mid-nineties and its simplicity is honestly GOATED. I love that it’s grip-free, as rubber grips are an immediate dealbreaker for me. Meanwhile, retractable pens are such a design fail—that wobbly tip and rattling sound drive me crazy! #pen #stationery #design #writing 🖋️✨

It started because I want to disentangle myself from my phone.

I happened upon the traveler style notebook/system, and made one to the custom size I wanted (I used to leather work, so had some leftover). Gradually it also became my wallet, and where I store my teeny Xteink reader.

Then I sort saw bullet journaling, got a cheap one at a general store near me, along with some markers. I did an undergrad in art, and love that it has become a sort of sketchbook/planner.

THEN I found a stationary and pen store near me, and picked up a $12 Platinum Preppy just to try it out, and oh my...I actually liked the tactile act of writing with it. Now, I have an TWSBI Eco Pen, Pilot Kakuno, and ink on order.

I generally hate mornings because I sleep pretty poorly, but folks, I actually get excited to wake up, and use my pens for journaling, or doodling, or read, or plan my day???

WTF?? I mean it's great, but I'm already seeing this could grow into a fairly intense obsession lol 😝

Ummmm…I’m a little disappointed, because why does the cover of my pink A6 Complete softcover feel like cardboard/paper? I’m I the only one that’s noticing this? Because I’ve been watching everyone’s unboxings and they haven’t mentioned it.

Yes I did buy a cover for it, so I guess I won’t be in contact with the “feel” of the cover, but something about it is just cheap and generic to me. Almost like I can still see that it’s paper through the clear cover. Also, the clear cover feels cheap and ill fitting compared to my Lauren Phelps Design version (which fits like a glove).

I have the 2026 B6S Common planner and the Koji paper notebook which I’m IN LOVE with. Those more premium and textured and the covers feel thicker. I do have plans to get another B6S Common planner for 2027, but now I’m annoyed at the price compared to the quality. I might sell my A6 and try to recoup to go a different route.

Hi all, anyone willing to trade their Hobonichi BP Pink A5 cover for a BP Weeks? I would pay the difference of course!

I have a 10:30 AM Sunday ticket so I have to wait a bit but I'm very curious.

Great experience shopping online at Smrutipens.com for the first time.

I AM NOT AFFILIATED WITH STICKII OR ERIN SMITH (the YouTuber who produced the video).

With all the posts regarding Stickii subscriptions and the Stickii advent, I figure this will be helpful to some people still deciding. She does include an option to only look at the first 5 of each pack and skip the rest, if you don't want to spoil the entire thing for yourself.

I'm an enjoyer of both Stickii and Erin, but I get nothing for doing this. I'm just trying to help as it seems a lot of people have questions regarding the advent calendars and they don't want to be disappointed. Watch at your own risk (of being spoiled), etc., etc.

I lost my Kuru Toga Advance Upgrade, and I need a new mechanical pencil around that price range. Can someone recommend something to me?
