﻿Hi everyone! I’m Connie, and welcome back to another monthly stationery roundup!
In this video, we’ll be taking a look at the most interesting releases from August.
Keep watching to see limited edition fountain pens, whiteboard notebooks, clear tapes, and more!
Pens & Pencils
Kaweco has released two new Collection Sport Fountain Pens!
The Mellow Blue is similar to Kaweco’s Skyline Sports.
The baby blue body is made of plastic and has silver details.
The Iguana Blue fountain pen is made from aluminum and has a turquoise body that leans a bit more green.
All Collection Sports are limited edition, so if you want to pick up one of these pens, be sure to get them sooner rather than later.
Single-sided Kuretake ZIG Clean Color Dot Markers are now available in more colors!
The squishy dot tips can make marks as large as five millimeters wide just by applying more pressure.
The round tips are easier to control than brush tips, so they’re great for beginner calligraphers to learn how to create line variation.
These markers are shorter than their double-sided counterparts, so they’re portable and fit in more pen cases.
If you would like a fineliner to add to the bolder tip, the Double-Sided Clean Color Dots have 0.5 mm bullet tips on the other end.
The newest Blackwing Volumes celebrates the Golden Ratio, a mathematical ratio that has been used in art and architecture.
Vol. 55 pencils have striped patterns inspired by the Fibonacci Sequence.
The width of each color block is equal to the widths of the two previous blocks combined.
These pencils use Blackwing’s balanced graphite, which is also found in the Blackwing Pearl.
Notebooks
The Gakken Write White Notebook lets you bring a whiteboard with you anywhere!
The Plus notebooks even have pre-printed to-do lists and grid panels.
The Write White is a great study companion.
You can use it to review important concepts by sketching out diagrams or charts,
or create mind maps and connect ideas learned throughout the semester without wasting any paper.
Both notebooks also have plastic sheets that give you more flexibility on how to use the whiteboard panels.
Try writing down repeated tasks on the whiteboard’s to do list, then jot down everything else on the plastic sheet.
When it’s time to erase, just clean the sheet. That way, you don’t have to rewrite the same tasks over and over again!
The notebook comes with an extra fine whiteboard marker.
If you need an extra marker, try the Pilot Wytebord.
It has a broader tip, but the marker is refillable so it has a long lifespan.
We love how handy these Laconic Style Notebooks are.
They come in eight formats, each with different cover colors so you know exactly what you’re reaching for.
The Daily, Weekly, and Monthly planner notebooks are undated, so you can start using them whenever you’d like.
The other five notebooks aren’t planners, but you can use them to organize daily tasks, take notes, and more.
Try using the To Do notebook to write down things you want to accomplish every month,
or keep a gratitude journal in the 100 Days notebook.
If you’ve ever had to invent haphazard ways to prop a notebook up,
you should definitely consider picking up the Midori + Stand Notebook.
This simple yet ingenious notebook transforms into a handy display stand so you can view the pages easily.
I can definitely see people using these notebooks as recipe books.
You can prop the notebook up so it takes up less space on a counter, and you can follow the instructions without having to crane your neck.
We’ve also added Midori’s Soft Color Notebooks to our website! They’re filled with colored dot grid paper.
Backpacks and Pen Cases
Doughnut Macaroon Reborn Backpacks bring new life to recycled materials.
The sustainable polyester fabric is made from plastic bottles.
The leather details use leftover leather scraps that are shredded and formed into a uniquely textured material.
These backpacks are available in the Large size, which can fit most fifteen inch laptops.
Lihit Lab Smart Fit PuniLabo Stand Pen Cases are some of the most popular pen cases at JetPens—
and for good reason.
These innovative pen cases transform into pen cups just by pressing down on the bottom of the case.
Lihit Lab has released limited edition animal designs that are just adorable.
Pick from Black Rabbit, Chick, American Shorthair, Corgi, or Scottish Fold.
Stickers, Sticky Notes, and Tapes
Round Top Clear Tapes add cool effects to journals, planners, and more.
Unlike washi tape, clear tape is made from plastic so it’s completely transparent.
Try layering them with stickers and washi tapes to create interesting collages.
These tapes are made from cellophane, so you can tear them with your hands,
but we recommend cutting them with scissors or a craft knife.
We brought in designs like peaceful florals and abstract art.
If you like clear tapes, we’ll have more soon!
Sign up for our newsletter so you’ll be the first to know when it arrives.
Decorate your planner with Suatelier Planner Stickers and Sticky Notes!
They come in plenty of different sizes and designs so you can choose the exact set that fits your aesthetic.
Try using these Plain Label stickers to add headers to pages you want to revisit,
or use these subtle Suatelier Planner Sticky Notes to draw attention to your favorite quotes.
Connie's Favorites
The Kaweco Sport is one of my favorite fountain pens. I actually own two!
I just really like how pocketable they are, and they fit my hand nicely.
My favorite of the two Collection Sports released this time is the Mellow Blue: I just think this pastel blue color is so cute.
I actually used the Midori Color Paper Notebooks while I was in college because they were the perfect size to take notes for a single quarter.
I’m glad to see the notebooks now have dot grids!
The paper is surprisingly good with fountain pens, though your inks will look a little bit different than if you used cream paper or white paper.
My favorite of the set is the Gray one. It's a really unique color that you really only see with art paper.
Despite the fact that I already own way too many washi tapes, I’m definitely interested in trying out these Round Top Clear Tapes.
They just have such a unique effect compared to washi tapes. My favorite designs are Over the Cloud and Flower Field!
That’s it for this month! What was your favorite stationery we introduced in this video?
Let us know in the comments below. Thanks for watching!
Did you notice my Easter egg in this video?
They are... my plush opossums.
One time I did see an opossum when I was in college. It ran across the street in front of me when I was riding my bike.
And I didn't realize that they look like that! And they have very long tails!
And that kind of scared me... But I'm okay with opossums when they're in plush form.
Also, they eat ticks which is apparently a really good reason to have opossums in your neighborhood.
