Happiness is a new pen

I don't care how nerdy this post is. I just love stationary and organisation things. We went shopping today for back to school stuff. I didn't get anything expensive, I was planning on getting a journal or a calender but didn't (I still have my eye's on the Doctor Who one - it IS 2009 but its based on Series 2 with Rose, my Favourite!!!!). Instead I came home with a set of 12 coloured Staedtler triplus fineliner pens. They even came with a box. The colours are amazing - I have developed a habit of writing with purple and green ink, and they last so very very long. And they were on sale - around $12 from Big W at the moment.

Mum also thought it would be a good idea to get a couple of those subject notebooks for uni work. I've always been intrigued by them and so was more than happy to comply! Also got a pen holder from Big W, cause I don't like having pens spread across the desk.

Would have spent no more than $27 today, but I am much happier than if I had brought a new dress or pair of shoes!

Seriously, if you have no ideas about gifts for people, particularly students, I highly recommend a gift certificate for Smiggle of Kikki. K or Paperchaise.

Stay cheerful! x
