New Stationery – Whoop!

There’s no secret about the fact that I love stationery and how excited I was to celebrate National Stationery Week a little while ago.

Stationery shopping is one of my favourite things to do and my Amazon Wishlist has loads of cute notebooks that I’m trying hard not to buy all at once. In fact, once upon a time I used to work in my local council PR office and one of my jobs was ordering the stationery. It was one of my favourite parts of the job and if I had nothing else to do you could usually find me flicking through the stationery catalogue pondering my next purchase.

I still love catalogues of all descriptions. I love highlighting the things I like and making lists of possible future purchases. (You need stationery for these things too. Stationery and lists, I love them so much!)

This is my latest little stationery haul. To say I’m pretty pleased with it is an understatement, I’ll be honest.

I’ve been keen to get a few of these clipboards for a while. I want to put them on the wall and use them to display some artwork I’ve had my eye on. I haven’t actually bought the artwork yet but I will soon and I’m sure I’ll share it on Instagram at least.

I have an obsession with Sharpies. I love the things and there is always at least one in my handbag (amongst the million others) so when I saw this bumper pack I was over the moon. I really want the metallic and neon colours now though. They’re addictive you know. The more I have, the more I want.

I know I have loads a loads of pens but this Hello Kitty fountain pen was one of the cutest things I’ve ever seen so, obviously, I had to have it. I’m now on the search for pretty coloured cartridges to go in it. I used to have some when I was in school so I’m hoping that they do still make them. I don’t want to use it for boring blue or black ink. Booo.

I broke my headphones weeks ago and have been struggling along with just having one working. So when I saw these (they promise to be non tangle and in my handbag that’s quite a challenge) I thought they’d fit the bill quite well. I prefer over ear headphones usually but am thinking about talking up running (I’m supposed to be training for a 5k) so thought these would be better.

When I was looking at the Viking Direct website I was actually pretty surprised at the wide range of things that they had on there. I always just assumed that they sold office stationery. All a little bit boring but very useful. I was proved wrong, clearly. I was also really surprised at how much electronic things they had and I do really love my headphones. They also sell hot chocolate, tea and coffee and all sort of other things. It’s a veritable treasure trove.

Kisses,
