A bit of a showy-offy title I know, but I thought I’d share the stationery related items I got for Christmas:
A handkerchief disguised as an A4 sheet of lined paper, and a pin/brooch disguised as a fountain pen nib, both from my mum.
Finally got my hands on my dream scissors, by Hay, from my mother-in-law-to-be. Featured previously in my Rock, Paper, Scissors post.
My boyfriend’s parents also got a few packs of Duncan Shotton’s wonderful sticky page markers (featured here). I chose the Forest set, and am finding them very useful so far!
These were strictly speaking given to (cycling mad) boyfriend by my mum, but I’ve “borrowed” them, they’re bicycle shaped paperclips/pagemarkers.
And this last one… Well, this was a gift to myself (I did buy as pack as a gift, and thought I’d… ahem… gift a pack to me too). The latest colors edition form Field Notes: Ambition. A three pack in wintery colors and gilded edges; one ledger book, on weekly datebook and one classic graph paper notebook. Lovely.
Thanks Mum and Bish!
top gifts - you have v. thoughtful relatives.
i got my dad the A4 paper hanky too - he loves it - along with a periodical table hanky with which he can learn the chemical elements before blowing his nose… what more could you want ?!
