10 Stationery Supplies I’d Buy Again

Welcome to another blog post!

Now I don’t know if this is obvious but I really love stationery. I love collecting stationery and I love exploring different brands and types. Having said that, there are supplies that I would definitely buy again! There’s quite a few but today I’m going to share ten with you. Let’s get to it!

Zebra Mildliners

I love Zebra Mildliners. They’re probably my favourite highlighters on the market. The array of colours is something I love. The quality is wonderful too. I have on numerous occasions repurchased these to the point I have spares ready.

Tombow ABT Dual Brush Pens

Is it bad that I have all 108 colours (and 1 blender included in that) in a case? I don’t think so to be honest. Like Zebra Mildliners, the different colours available is something I love. I also think these are perfect for beginners to calligraphy because they’re flexible enough to practice up and down strokes without being too flimsy.

Ink Pot Notebooks

Ever since Kirsten contacted me about their notebooks back in 2020, I have absolutely fell in love Ink Pot notebooks. So much so that I didn’t use another notebook brand until the end of 2025. That’s not Ink Pot’s fault by the way. I just wanted to try something different! I used 10 notebooks in that time and fell in love with the quality and the customisation available. I should specify that some notebooks were gifted to me but others I brought with my own money. I will probably repurchase a notebook from them again soon. After all, you can never have enough notebooks.

Pentel Energel Needle Tip Gel Pens 0.5

If I sit and think about this, these gel pens are by far my favourite. They’re really smooth to write with and I absolutely adore the grip on them, making them comfortable too!

I also really like the 0.7 size too as they come in different colours. However, I definitely prefer the 0.5 as I prefer a thinner tip. Regardless, pentel gel pens are truly wonderful!

Crayola Supertips

If you are new to stationery, these are the perfect beginner pens to have. They come in so many different colours and are really easy to use for those that are new to calligraphy if you like that sort of thing. I have the 50 pack at the moment but I would quite like to get the 100 pack at some point.

Oh, I also forgot to mention that these are insanely affordable!

Sakura Pigma Microns

I have used many fineliners over the years from different brands and I think these are my favourite. They were the first ones I tried and they’re the ones I keep coming back to. They come in different nib sizes which I really like too!

Muji Gel Pens 0.38

Are these overrated? Maybe. However, I do like them. Yes, the barrel isn’t the most comfortable and they do smudge a fair bit but the ink is so smooth. The fact these come in 0.38 is something I really like!

Zebra Sarasa Gel Pens

I tell you what, I wish the 0.5 of these were easy to get a hold of in the United Kingdom. I know I said that the pentel energel pens were my favourite. However, if these were easy to get a hold of, I would probably say these would be top! I feel like the ink dries quicker in these pens but then pentel’s barrel is slightly more comfortable!

Pentel Fude Touch Brush Pens

These are absolutely wonderful brush pens! They come in a lot of different colours and are really easy to use. There’s something about the brush on them that is really pleasant to use! I would highly recommend these for beginners too!

Tombow Fudenosuke Brush Pens

These are some other brush pens I would highly recommend for beginners too! These actually come in two different types of tips: hard and soft. I think I prefer the hard tip as they come in more colours but I do like the soft tip and find it very comparable to the Pentel Fude Touch Brush Pens.

Notebook Therapy Notebooks

I’ve only been using a notebook therapy notebook for the last couple of months but it has been really pleasant to use. I really enjoy how the paper feels to write on and the cover I chose is stunning!

Archer & Olive Notebooks

I used Archer & Olive as my notebook for the latter part of 2025 and really really enjoyed using it. I love the company as a whole and the different array of notebooks available is truly pleasant!

And that’s it! Thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to read this post and I will see you soon for another one!
