40% off selected Pelikan runs out soon!

But before we get into all that... 

Bear in mind that that small selection is getting even smaller, and what's more will disappear altogether at midday UK time this coming Wednesday 23rd October.

 

Don't say we didn't give you fair warning!

We have more Lovely Friends from Legami! These are the ballpoints that come with a cute little hanger-on who will clutch your pen and guard it for you when you're not around. Oh, and stop it rolling off a desk. Dinosaur spines and Unicorn horns are useful like that; they sort of dig in and prevent a peregrination. Koalas are quite rolly though. Ah, and so are Teddy Bears. Oh well. Perhaps their ears will act as brakes. Or better still, just take them with you wherever you go!

Sakura Pigma, Gelly Roll and Ecoline all strike glee into the hearts of hardened creatives, and we've recently expanded our offering on all three.

 

We have curated sets of Brushpens with useful themes; packs of Pigma Micron drawing pens; assorted sets of Gelly Roll Moonlight gel pens; and amazing Art Kits to inspire beginners. 

Less stationery and more EDC (everyday carry), Pularys wallets offer safe havens for cards and ID, and do so in spectacular style.

 

The HIKER has backpacked into view, and for those of you who think it looks a little familiar, it's an almost identical replacement for the HUGO, which is no longer available.

As part of their production process, Ukrainian art manufacturers Rosa work with established artists the world over. The result is a range of top-quality creative tools to satisfy all levels of expertise, from those just embarking on their artistic journey to professional artists and designers.

 

To complement their watercolour pans, there are now 10ml tubes in a huge range of colours. And if something a little heavier is more your style, there are tubes of acrylic and oil paint as well.

We're a bit short on blue skies at the moment. But it is autumn, so it's not surprising really.

 

Luckily, though, TWSBI's new Sky Blue Eco fountain pen is pre-orderable from tomorrow - that's Wednesday 23rd October - so if you were hoping for a brighter outlook, this should do the trick.

 

And you shouldn't have to wait too long for delivery either, because that's happening this Friday.

Sinuously sleek are Diplomat's new Viper pens, available as fountain pens and rollerballs, and with both black and blue finishes.

 

The guilloche patterning on the metal barrel is suggestive of snakeskin, and Diplomat's decision to fit the fountain pen with a hooded nib is genius. 

If you like your lie-ins, you're in luck this weekend, because the clocks go back and you'll get an extra hour in bed on Sunday. BUT... evenings will get shorter. So light the fire! Light some candles if you don't have a fire! Drink hot chocolate! Get stuck into a good book! Put a classic album on the speakers (can't say 'turntable': some of you might not know what that is) and just lie back and listen! There are many excellent ways to fill long dark evenings.
