Hiya!
I feel like we live in such a great time where you can choose between so much stationery. Want a cactus eraser? Here you go. Want a notebook with a fluffy unicorn on the cover? Take it. Want a pen in a shape of dinosaur? Enjoy.
Like, you can get anything and everything. In most places. Where I live, however, you can’t get whatever you want but our stationery game is stepping up every year. Yay!
Continuing on, today I will talk all about my stationery. Where I keep it, for what I use it and all that little stuff.
How I became obsessed.
It all started when I started writing letters. I found some people with same interests as mine and we send each other letters. Kinda obvious, right? But we always put some gifts in the envelope and most of it always is stationery. That’s why I am so obsessed with washi tapes, cute sticky notes and stickers. I just can’t get enoooough of them.
Journaling comes to this list, too. I started journaling in mid-April this year and adding cute stuff here and there is a must hahah!
Also, pen pals – life changer. Never thought or even dreamed about writing letters and sending them to the other side of the world.
Where I get it.
Here’s where magic happens. Cheap magic. So, where can you get extremely cute but affordable stationery and almost everything?? YES, AliExpress, eBay or something like that. I, personally, order all stationery from aliexpress. The only con is the time you have to wait to get it. As a really impatient person, I can say it’s annoying but worth it.
Another place to buy stationery is a shop The Flying Tiger. Here it is really popular and one of my all time fave shops, I think you get why so I won’t even talk much about it. Basically, cute stuff everywhere. Maybe not as affordable as AliExpress, but hey, still cute.
Where I keep it.
Two or three weeks ago if you asked me this, my answer would have been as basic as “in a pencil case”. One day I was so in a mood to change it, so that’s what I did. I moved almost all of my stationery into a little box I got about 2 years ago when all the ~Loom band~ thing was popular. All my stationery went there including washi tapes, stickers, and that’s pretty much it. There isn’t enough place for my pens and highlighters so I just keep them in a small pencil case.
I have so many things I still want to get and maybe even make but as my dad says, everything takes time, gotta be patient.
Are you obsessed with stationery like I am? How do you use it?
