As a designer and a total paper lover, stationery has always been one of my favorite things. I love anything involving paper, pens, planners, journaling, and making everyday notes a little more fun.

Pens & Writing ✍🏻
My favorite everyday pen right now. I love how smoothly the Uni-ball One P writes and how rich and intense the ink looks on paper. This is the pen I reach for most when I’m writing in my Hobonichi.
And the colors are so cute!
Uniball One P 0.5mm Coffee and Yogurt Barrels Black Ink
I love these, especially the colors. The vintage red is such a pretty burgundy compared with a typical bright red, and I’m equally obsessed with the brown. The blue is a really nice deep shade too. They write smoothly and are so easy to reach for whe...
Sarasa Clip Vintage Gel Retractable 0.5mm Pens Assorted Dark Colors 5-Pack
In my opinion, one of the best fineliners. I love having different tip sizes in the same set so I can switch between tiny details, writing, and slightly bolder lines. The pigment ink is also known for drying quickly and giving you clean, consistent l...
Sakura Pigma Micron Fineliner Drawing Pen Set, Black Ink, 4 Micron Pens Tip Sizes 03, 05, 08, 10
If you like gel pens, this is such a good set to have. The 0.5mm tip is a great everyday size, and having a whole range of colors makes journaling and note-taking much more fun. I love having these around when I want to color-code or simply pick a pe...
Zebra Sarasa Clip Retractable Gel Ink Pens, Fine Point 0.5mm, Assorted colors, 20-Pack
I love having both versions because they give you two different levels of control. The hard tip is great for smaller, more precise lettering, while the soft tip gives you a little more flexibility and variation in your strokes. Such a good pair for j...
Tombow Fudenosuke Brush Pens, Hard and Soft Tip, Black, 2 Pack
Highlighters & Markers 🌈
A stationery classic for a reason. I love the soft colors and the double-ended design, and they’re just as pretty and useful as the hype makes them sound. Perfect for adding a bit of color to notes, planners, and journals.
These are such a fun (and on budget) addition to a stationery collection. The pastel colors are perfect for journaling, lettering, doodling, and adding little pops of color without everything feeling too bright.
One of my favorite markers for adding color to my journals. The brush tip makes them great for lettering and doodling, while the fine tip is handy for smaller details. I love the huge range of colors

Notebook & Planners 📓
This is my second year using the Hobonichi Weeks, and I mostly use it as a planner + memory keeper rather than planning every part of my life. I write down things I did, events, dinners, books and TV shows I’m watching, and other little memories. Las...
Hobonichi Weeks Colors: Sea Glass / ENG / Jan start / Hobonichi Techo 2027
I’ve had my Traveler’s Notebook for about 7 years now, and the leather has picked up so many little scratches and marks that it feels completely unique to me. I love the small passport size, and with the different inserts I use it mostly for jotting ...
Traveler’s Notebook Camel (Passport Size)
One of my favorite notebooks for journaling and creative notes. The paper feels so smooth to write on, and I love the subtle dot grid because it gives you a bit of structure without getting in the way. The simple design and beautiful paper make it on...
Midori MD Notebooks - A5, Dot Grid, White
I’ve loved and used Moleskine notebooks for years. They have that classic, minimal look that never really gets old, and as an Italian I have a soft spot for the brand too. A simple notebook that always feels nice to have around.
Moleskine Classic Notebook Soft Cover Large Ruled
Accessories ✂️
A simple but very useful addition to my Hobonichi. It keeps the cover protected, and I especially love having the pen loop so I always have a pen with my Weeks.
Hobonichi Clear Cover for Weeks - Hobonichi Techo 2027
A small pair of sharp precision scissors is one of those things I use constantly when journaling. Perfect for cutting stickers, photos, paper and little details cleanly, especially when regular scissors feel too bulky for small pieces.
Westcott 5-Inch Titanium Bonded Micro-Tip Crafting Scissors, Light Blue
One of those small stationery tools that makes a surprisingly big difference when you like making things yourself. I love using a corner rounder to give photos, paper scraps, cards, and journal elements a cleaner, more finished look.
Paper Corner Rounder Punch, 3 in 1 Round Corners Cutter for Crafts, Scrapbook Supplies
One of those practical journaling tools I use all the time. A tape runner makes it so easy to attach photos, paper, tickets, and other little bits to a journal without dealing with glue.
12 Pack Scrapbook Tape Roller for Crafts
Such a cute little way to turn photos from your phone into physical memories. The app is easy to use and gives you different ways to play with your photos before printing. I also have an Instax camera, so I can use the same Instax Mini film for both....
Fujifilm instax Mini Link 3 Printer, Green
I love Rifle Paper Co style, and these magnetic market pads are such a pretty addition to the kitchen. I love having one on the fridge for grocery lists, things to remember, or random notes, and the beautiful artwork makes it feel more like a piece o...
Rifle Paper Co. Market Pad - Butter Not Forget
A roomy pouch for keeping your planner, pens, stickers, and other stationery together. The simple design and multiple compartments make it especially handy for taking your journaling supplies on the go.
A gorgeous one for adding a more artistic touch to journals. It has 350 stickers featuring artwork from artists throughout history, so there’s a really nice mix to play with. I love that it feels more like a little collection of art than a typical st...
The Art Lover's Sticker Book: 350 Stickers from Artists Throughout History, (Hardcover)
I recently picked these up and I’m really enjoying them. There’s a great mix of designs, and I love using them to add little details to my Hobonichi pages. I’m also planning to use some to decorate the cover of my new 2027 Weeks. They’re fun to mix a...
Japanese Sticker Book for Scrapbooking | 40 Sheets Retro Junk Journal Supplies
This is such a fun sticker book for journaling. I love that there are so many different designs to mix and match, and the tear-away pages make it easy to actually use the stickers without having to carry around a huge collection of loose sheets.
