How do you store your pens? I love trying out new pen cases almost as much as I love buying new pens! While in the past I’ve collected cases from Galen, Rickshaw and the sadly-closed Nock Co., I came across the Saki Pen Rolls ($16+) while on Jetpens a few weeks ago, and wanted to…

Product Review: Jam Studio Sticker Albums
I try hard not to be the cute-pens-and-stickers kind of person but with companies like Midori making super fun sitckers and JetPens selling these delightful sheets of joy, even I get weak. What I realized at the start of 2022 is I’ve clearly fallen for quite a lot of stickers in the last few years…
