- What do you think? - Oh!
(chuckles) It's (beep).
Hi, my name is Ann and I'm a videographer here at JetPens.
If you've ever wondered what JetPens customers
are actually putting on their wish list, you're in luck.
I'll be showing you the most wish listed stationery of 2023.
This is the first time I'm seeing this list,
so keep watching to see if I think they're worth the hype.
- [Miriam] Okay Ann, the first thing I'm gonna give you
is also a best seller at JetPens.
It's a gel pen. Any guesses?
- Man, what's a best seller? Uh...
- [Miriam] Like we sell buckets of these.
- Buckets?
- Buckets. - Yeah.
- Wait, is it the Uni-ball Signo? I...
- [Miriam] Ding, ding, ding!
(Miriam laughing) - Wait, really? (laughs)
- [Miriam] It's the Uni-ball Signo in white.
- Oh, is it the broad? - Yeah.
- Oh my God. I used to like pack like boxes.
Like I remember there was a 300 pen order for these.
I think, or was it 30? There's a difference.
Whoa. Yeah, I remember having to pack all of these. Yeah.
Yeah. I guess that makes sense.
Well, I know artists, they would use this
because you can add like highlights to it and...
- Yeah. - Yeah.
It's actually very, very opaque, Ann,
if you use it. - Oh, is it?
- Yeah. - Yeah.
- Do we have black paper?
- [Videographer-san] Uh, I can get you black paper.
- Okay.
Oh my God it actually is pretty opaque right off the bat.
I didn't guess that it was the white one, but wow.
And you know how usually like, sometimes gel pens,
if you like write in the beginning, it'll like start
to either be more opaque or like be watery.
This very, oh, right off the bat. Wow. That's amazing.
I don't use it, but, you know...
- [Miriam] All right Ann, here is the next item.
- Okay. Okay. Oh, oh, oh! Really?
These are so light though. The Kuretake.
Oh my god. Anyways. Wow.
I didn't expect this because they're so light, so...
- [Miriam] What do you mean by light?
- Like when you use it and you squish down,
I think they're the colors are pretty light
as opposed to like the regular two tip one that, oh my god,
I cannot remember off the top of my head
what the product title is.
But anyways, they have a squishy dot,
which is kind of fun to like look at
because like you can do different sizes.
So if you do it like very gently,
it'll be a very small dot.
But then if you squish down,
then it'll be like a bigger dot.
We use this for, to show habit tracking 'cause it's so easy
and all you have to do is just squish down,
which is really handy, but I didn't expect this.
- [Miriam] Yeah, and then in particular,
it was this color set- - Oh.
- [Miriam] That was the most wish listed, yeah.
- [Ann] Yeah, that makes sense. The colors are very pretty.
The other ones are like...
- [Videographer-san] I think they're lighter.
- Yeah, maybe that's the one I'm thinking of.
- Yeah. - This one I'm not sure
if it's like, if the colors are not as light.
- [Miriam] And before we move on, another-
- Oh. - Color set...
- Uh huh? - That was super popular
was actually the Zebra Mildliner Natural Color Set.
- [Ann] The natural.
That's the one that just came out, right?
- Yeah. - Yeah. Oh-
- [Miriam] In this one, it seems the colors
are pretty similar, right?
Like the tones, I mean.
- Yes, I do want to get some of these,
but I'm not sure still. - Why?
- Because I still have, the other colors that I have still,
they're still like inky, so I don't really need to get more.
But they are very pretty.
- [Miriam] Okay Ann, since you're a gel pen lover.
- (gasps) Okay.
- [Miriam] These two color sets in particular
are always sold out.
- Color sets that are sold out.
Are they American brand? - No.
- The only sets that I can remember
that are very popular are the Zebra Sarasa Vintage sets.
- Ding, ding, ding. (laughs) - Really? (laughs)
Again, I've packed a ton of these.
They're always very popular. - Okay.
- Oh! - Set two.
- Oh, they're the, oh, oh no, they changed the packaging.
- They did. - Oh, I got so confused.
- [Miriam] So surprisingly only set two is on this list.
- Oh, well that makes sense. They're very pretty.
I have this one. The camel yellow. Sorry. Here you go.
Camel yellow. I love that color.
I don't know why it's like a warm orangey yellow,
but like it's not too orange.
Yeah, the colors are so cute.
- [Miriam] You think they're better than set one?
- Yeah. (laughs) - Yeah? (laughs)
- It's so simple because like set one,
they're very like very off black,
kind of like businessy like...
But then this one is a little more fun
because it has like orange and red and like purple.
I know there's like gray and like, I think it was-
- Sepia? - Is it sepia or brown?
Or was it brown gray.
I already, I kind of forgot which one is in which set.
Hold on. There's Japanese in here. Sepia Brown.
Okay, anyways, but I don't know if you can kind of tell
between like, again, between the colors
set two looks much more fun than set one.
- And another Sarasa- - Oh.
Oh well the Mark On. - Can you tell us a little bit
about the Mark On Sarasa?
- Wait, hold on. Where's the? Josh's favorite, the Mark On.
I get it. I get it.
Because it like, it works under Mildliners,
which are like notorious for like smearing, you know?
It's just, I get it. I understand.
It also writes really nicely too, you know?
Which is like a good, a good experience.
Especially when you're like studying
and you have to use your Mildliner, so I get it.
- [Miriam] I'm gonna give you a notebook now.
- Is it a big notebook or a small notebook?
- What do you think? - Oh! (chuckle)
It's Hobonichi.
So this is A5 Hobonichi Techo Plain Notebook.
It, even though it says plain,
it is not actually plain paper, it's grid.
And I believe there's like four different colors
for some reason because Hobonichi loves to be different.
The paper is also, is it the new Tomoe River Sanzen already?
It is that paper, Tomoe River Sanzen paper
is usually good with fountain pens
and it shows like the characteristics
of fountain pen ink really well,
and that's why a lot of people really like it.
And I assume that's why it's always on people's wishlists
because I guess it sells out or something.
Or, or I understand, like you wanna send
these wishlists to people so that they can buy it for you.
So (chuckles) add the, yeah... (chuckles)
Oh, is there another one?
- [Miriam] No, so I'm gonna show you
all the Tomitaro Makino stuff.
- Oh, okay.
- [Miriam] So if you're interested in this design
'cause this was the most wish listed design.
- Wish listed design. - Yeah.
Of the Plain Notebooks. - Makes sense.
- Yes. - Very cute.
Okay. - You can get
all the other ones.
- There is a A6 writing board
and then there's also the Weeks size,
and then there's also A5 size.
And there's also the, oh my gosh,
how am I supposed to show you these covers?
They're the same design.
It's just one is A5 size and one is A6 size.
Very cute. Wait, oh yeah, there is a pen loop. Pen loop.
So there's many designs that you can choose from.
Oh gosh. They're all like, okay.
Is this another guessing one?
- [Miriam] (chuckles) Okay, Ann, the next couple of items
I'm going to show you are all from the same brand
and one of them is the most wish listed item of 2023.
And it is, I guess a sticky note of sorts.
I don't think you're gonna guess.
- Sticky notes?
- [Miriam] If I say what exactly it is,
I think you will guess.
- Wait, but is it like, so it's a family?
Not a family,
it's a brand. - Kind of.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Is it the Beverly one?
- No. - Hold on, hold on.
Let me think of other sticky notes.
Well, you can, I guess, while you get the other ones.
Oh god, what other
sticky notes are there? - I think I'm throwing you off
with sticky notes. - Yeah, you are...
- It's an index tab.
- Oh, it's an index tab. Oh my god.
Is it the Midori one again? (sighs)
- You got it. - The Chiratto one?
Oh, okay. This is the most wish listed item.
I guess it does sell out pretty fast.
What I can understand about why this is probably
the most wish listed item is that everyone
who kind of get like gets this probably
has a Hobonichi cousin.
The colors on these tabs match some of the months,
and that's why it's so popular.
I think they do like match, but I don't get it.
I don't get it.
I mean, but I do get like finding something that works
with the thing that you're using.
I get that because I think I got this one.
Here's the index clip.
I use this with my planner
because it's very easy to just like flip
between two things and like the tabs do not
jut out very much, so that's why I really like using it.
And I think the, like the clips themselves
are pretty gentle on like the paper.
So I believe you can even use it on like thin paper.
I get this. I don't get this. (chuckles)
- Okay Ann. - Uh huh?
- More Midori items. - Oh.
- Midori. - Oh, the stickers.
- So... - Hold on, on second.
- [Miriam] There's one that was the most wish listed.
If you look through them. - Is it the cat one?
(Ann laughs) - Bingo.
- The cat one. Yeah, the cats are so cute.
These are the, I don't remember the full name.
The Midori planner stickers? They're very cute.
What I can remember about these stickers
is that they're clear stickers.
And what's really handy about these
are that it's like removable.
So even when you put it down,
you can easily like lift it up, which is not,
I'm surprised that a lot of stickers can't do that.
But then again, stickers are stickers,
so when you put 'em down, they should just stay down.
But if you make mistakes, these are very handy.
(gasps) My favorite.
Wait, there's so many of them actually.
Have the ghost one. - You do?
What's your favorite? - Yeah, it's the ghost.
- This one? (laughs) - The monster.
- Wait, hold on. - I use these a lot.
- Cute ghosts. No, no, no. Wait.
I think my favorite is like the achievement.
These are very cute too. Yeah.
There's like a koala. Where is he?
Oh, there's a koala sleeping on a tree branch.
That one's my favorite. - Aw.
- Okay.
- Okay Ann, we're down to the very last item.
And this is a student favorite, I would say,
and very utilitarian, like- - Oh.
- [Miriam] We didn't expect this to be on the wish list
because it's so practical.
- Utilitarian. Wait, no, it's not an eraser, is it?
- No. (Ann groans)
- It's bigger. - Bigger than an eraser,
but it's a smaller than a pen?
- It's not small.
- Oh, is it a pen case? - No.
- A notebook?
- Close.
- Is it like the Bag in Bag?
- No. The notebook was closer.
- Oh, the notebook? - It's a paper item.
- Paper item?
- Think students. - Students?
- Is it the Sarasa...
No, not the Sarasa, the Sarasara, oh okay.
- Good job Ann. (Ann laughs)
- It is! - The Sarasara
loose leaf sheets.
- This is the dotted line, which means
that on the lines there's like dots on them.
So we usually say that it's really good
for drawing graphs or diagrams,
which they are actually.
I kind of wish I had this at like in school,
the paper is also like really smooth.
There's actually other, like, there's more in this line.
There's an absurd amount of other types of paper.
This one is the smooth one.
I believe the one that has more texture
is called the Shikkari one?
That one's like a little rougher.
Not my thing, but this one, I like smooth paper.
So this one is like very much my thing.
It actually can handle, I just, I actually just wrote
with a couple different writing instruments
and it does like, it worked with a lot of them.
It works with like pencil ballpoint pen, gel,
fineliner pen, rollerball, rollerball and marker.
But like, don't press too hard, you know?
- [Miriam] Why not?
- Well, if you press too hard,
you're gonna like bleed into the,
and then it'll show on the back.
But anyways, that's just...
Oh but, oh, I can't say that.
You heavy handed people, I'm sorry. (laughs)
- [Videographer-san] I think it works
'cause Josh used it before too.
- Really? - Yeah, and he's heavy handed.
- Oh, okay. - Yeah, he's very
heavy handed. - Okay.
- [Miriam] And if anything, people can use
a writing board underneath.
- That is true. - Yeah.
- Now that I've seen like all the wish listed items,
which is kind of like, they're really popular.
But also what I wouldn't think would be on your wish list,
because you can get other things, (laughs) but anyways...
- [Miriam] What would you put on your wish list, Ann?
What's on your wishlist? - On my wish...
I want that Relala that the pen case
that's like a wrist rest.
I want that.
See, isn't that a more interesting thing
on your stationery wish list?
- [Videographer-san] You have like novelty items-
- Yeah, mine are novelty items. Anyways-
- [Miriam] Just pick one thing,
one thing from this that you would actually get.
- Oh, what I would get.
I already have that, so I can't really say that.
I actually think I would get this one
because I'm curious about the colors.
Like even though you can see like
the writing sample on our website,
it's gonna be a different experience when you have it
in your hands and when you're using it.
So I would put this on my wish list
so someone else can buy it for me. (laughs)
But the items that I would like recommend,
I think I would recommend like the gel pens.
Not as like a gel pen lover, but also just because like,
it's nice to have nice colors and also a gel pen
that doesn't smear under highlighters, you know?
These are also really very, very handy, but index clips.
And like as a student, the Sarasara paper is also very good.
Also, don't forget to add like the binder notebook
or like a binder to go with it,
or else you're kind of just...
No, wait.
They also have like a notebook
where you can like tear out pages too, right?
So you can also do that. Same paper. Anyways.
Ooh, I keep, okay. What's on your wishlist?
Let us know in the comments.
You can find everything linked in the description below
and on JetPens.com, the place for pen and stationery lovers.
Thanks for watching. Bye. See you later.
Send all of your wish lists to people
so they can buy 'em for you. (laughs)
It is the outtake. Hi again. Bet you didn't expect me again.
(laughs) Here. Anyways, so...
Guess what the actual most wish listed item is.
I bet you can't.
Look at that.
Can you see it? I'm not quite sure if you can see it.
But this is the syringe.
You might be wondering what is a syringe for?
Well, you can use it
to like suck up fountain pen ink
and then put it in like those little cartridges,
empty cartridges or whatever.
But anyways, this is for fountain pen people.
Yeah this is the most wish listed item, the syringe. (laughs)
Okay. Bye.
Hi, my name is Ann and I'm a video...
Vi-vi. How many times? (groans) There's so many syllables.
I make some of the videos. (chuckles)
(Miriam and videographer laugh)
The ink is formulated so that it dries...
Darn it. Take it back. Take it back.
Look. Fight me. I don't like EnerGel, okay?
I don't like the needle point.
I know they have the conical tip. I don't like it.
The tip wiggles a little too much for my taste.
Like I get, yeah, it dries fast, but it's like,
I want it to be a nice experience when I use it.
- [Videographer] Did you hear her EnerGel take?
- Yeah. - She was like-
- It was really funny. - Don't make-
- [Miriam] You're gonna make people mad.
- Wait, what do I say? Well, what's on your list? (laughs)
- Now it's just like- - Okay, fine wish list.
- What's on your stationery wish list? (beep)
I thought I could do it, but I hesitated.
Wish list, description.
- Goodbye. - See you later. (laughs)
