What stationery do you usually buy?

[Xx halfempty xX]

Expressions (A stationery store in The Philippines) or National (a bookstore in The Philippines) are my go to destinations at the mall.

They have a wide range of cute, cheap stationery. I like buying cute sticky notes, ballpens, and sometimes pad paper.

How about you?

I repurchase glue periodically.

For cute stationeries, does stickers count? I love going to artist markets and buy stickers, washi tape and notepads! I buy stationeries for work and personal pleasures (journaling).

my autistic ass has extremely specific answers to almost every single separate type of stationery lol

- Notebooks: Maruman Spiral Note 5mm dot grid in B5.
- Pens: refill for Ohto GS01 ballpoint or Pilot Kakuno
- Pencils: Pentel .5 that I recently bent the nib of and need to replace; a random orange .7 body i've had for over a decade that i just refill; Staedtler 980 2mm. All refills are Pentel except the Staedtler, which is a special drafting size and the only lead sold near me is from a brand called Alvin.
- Erasers: Currently a random one I found in my childhood desk, but usually Pentel Hi-Polymers.
- Highlighters: Zebra Mildliners, one at a time, currently I have Cyan
- Planners: the Paperblanks hardcover horizontal mini 12-16month (i try to get the 12 month but they were sold out this past fall so this year I have the 16month). I've gotten them for 4 years in a row now, they work really well for me!
- Letter Paper: i get all my letter supplies from the thrift store. You can get some really cool stuff for really cheap -- one time I found a thrift store selling envelopes/cards clearly of handmade paper with rosepetals ingrained. I look for stuff like that when I can.
- Stickers: Mind Wave Seals. Hands down these are my favorite stickers. Please just look at them

Honorable mention: I use wax seals for all of my letters, and the initial stamp/handle/wax set I got was a gift from a family member's trip to Italy. I try my best to abide by wax code and I have a set of some standard gold/silver/bronze/red. Haven't needed to buy any more yet...
EDIT TO ADD forgot to add in my notepads! I get them when i can from liliuhms but if i can't then I try to get them from local vendors.

Man I used to be obsessed with stationeries when I was a kid, I loved watching staionery reviews on Youtube, and of course, buying them. And during my early art phase, I’m more keen on experimenting with new art supplies that I only use once or twice… Now I am more careful with my money.

For my school, I often bring these things: Three pens, a correction pen, correction tape, mechanical pencil, eraser, and highlighters (optional). I bring way more items back in primary school but that’s a story for another day.

I find myself really enjoying water-based pens, they feel way smoother than oil-based ones. I always get the Sarasa Clip 0.5mm pens, particularly the blue ones. I get the Plus Whiper Mr Correction Tape (pretty nice its refillable), but I don’t care about the brand for my correction pen.

I always prefer mechanical pencils over regular pencils since I don’t have to worry about the lead breaking all over my bag and sharpening it. I have been using a mechanical pencil (Pilot super grip i think) for years, it’s nothing fancy, but it works perfectly.
(Side rant: When I was in Japan, I bought a fancy mechanical pencil (Mono I think) that pushes the lead when shaken, pretty fancy. However, after a month of use, I dropped it and it broke immediately. While I am clumsy, I think the pencil isn’t that great if it breaks that easily.)

For my erasers, I always get Pilot foam erasers. Some people say there’s better erasers, but personally I got used to how it feels.

And for highlighters, I don’t have much preferences, especially that I dont need it as much after secondary school. If I do need them, I can always grab one in a random box.

When it comes to art stuff, nowadays I just use what is available at home. I have Ohuhu alcohol markers and some other color pencils. But after I switched to digital, I don’t need to spend as much money on art supllies.

My favorite store is Stylo.ca at the mall near my childhood home!! I always end up leaving with a pen or five when I visit. Usually Im not super picky, and will pick up whatever feels good or is purple. They also have a lot of really nice notebooks! Leuchtturm is the obvious choice, I also like Midori. 

But!
I will be using this thread to complain about MY FAVORITE PEN GETTING DISCONTINUED
Basics® Nylon Fine Tip Markers 43014-03 YOU WERE PERFECT AND IVE TRIED ORDERING YOU FROM LIKE 3 DIFF. WEBSITES AND NONE WILL TAKE MY MONEY. I only have one of them and its nearly out of ink. I've been on the lookout for YEARS now and have YET to find a pen that has that same kind of nylon tip. I don't want felt that'll smush, I want Strong, Resilient Nylon!! Why is noone else doing this?? Why is there only one brand?? And why cant I purchase it!? They come in a 12 pack how do I only have one?????

I'll never stop looking for you my holy grail.

If you actually want a list of my daily drivers, here they are

PENCILS Paper Mate ComfortMate Ultra (0.5) (sleek, comfy, reliable) Serve Deep (0.7)  (thick, bold, has extra eraser space. Open from the middle to refill lead. Clip prone to falling off) Staedtler Mars Technico Lead Holder (2mm) (I use H2 lead in it) ERASERS Staedtler PVC free (theyre softer) Factis BM2 (one of those eraser holders with an eraser SO THIN!) PENS Cross Gel Rolling Ball (fancy, but doesn't layer well, even over just graphite. Plus, smudges so easily) Schneider One Change Rollerball (BIG and JUICY) HOBBY KNIFE Richard S-12 (inherited from grandpa)

Colored pencils: Prismacolor (velvety smooth)  Highlighter: Merange (they're available for free at the office)  Ruler: UNIQUE! (Custom purple circuit board my sister designed as merch)

Pens: Pilot Explorer, Pilot Desk fountain pens with stock ink, various free ballpoints I've acquired over the years
Pencils: whatever I can find, I'm not picky
Hobby Knife: The stack of Uline box cutters I got from my warehouse job
Paper: Cognitive Surplus planner, dot grid notebook, and an unbranded journal

I want to branch out, especially in terms of paper/notebooks, but there's no reason for me to do that until I fill what I have. I'll probably continue using the Cognitive Surplus planners even when I fill it since I'm used to it, but I'm interested in all of the planners that get shared on this site. I can't tell if I would benefit from a more structured system vs my daily notes setup now.

I've posted in the fountain pen thread about why I prefer them. I will also get a Kakuno and potentially a dip pen, but that's not until I have a habit of using my pens enough to switch to ink bottles+adapters rather than the Pilot cartridges.
