It’s the last day in my week of gift guides and I have some great products to share with you! I have gifts for kids addicted to arts & crafts (like mine) and for adults who can’t resist filling their desk drawers with lots of gorgeous stationery (like me) so there is something for everyone.
Magnetips
RRP: £32.00
These Magnetips gel pens are something I backed on Kickstarter, and am so pleased with! They are version 2 of the product, and write really smoothly in an array of lovely colours. These pens are a bit like the Geomag toys in my gift for kid geeks that I posted yesterday – you can put them together to create different shapes and structures.
SherbetBox Club
RRP: £15 a month
I’ve been signed up to the SherbetBox Club for over a year now, and love the monthly surprise box of gorgeous stationery that Claire puts together each month. Above are the goodies I got in my October box; an art print, papercraft owl, owl magent set, hedgehog sticker sheet, fox sticker, two bookmarks, washi tape, Papermania metallic pen, fox notebook, and three autumnal postcards. All just gorgeous, and such good value!

Snopake A5 EVA Mesh Bags*
RRP: £9.99 (for a pack of 3 A5)
These Snopake A5 EVA Mesh Bags are so useful. I use them for keeping important papers together, my sticker collection for my planner, and also for all the bits I need for my current cross stitch project. They are great for all sorts of uses – including being brilliant for keeping together travel docs inside your suitcase too.
Eligo Desk Expander*
RRP: £21.95 (only £8.04 on Amazon)
I work from home so this Eligo Desk Expander is going to be really useful for keeping documents for projects organised, receipts, and so on. I could also see it being handy for keeping everything to do with the kids’ school, household things, and car documents safe and sorted.
Swordfish Creative Trimmer*
RRP: £9.99
This Swordfish Creative Trimmer is really neat and will be great for craft projects for the girls, and myself. You can create three different types of cut with the trimmer; a straight cut, a waving zig-zag cut, and a perforated cut that allows you to create tear off slips. This would have been so handy a few months ago when I created a document that had a competition entry slip at the bottom, that had to be ripped off – I had no idea this type of cutter existed!
Platignum Studio Ball Pens, Tixx Fountain Pens & Tixx Coloured Gel Pens*
RRP: from £1.79
The Platignum range of pens is really nice to write with, and these Studio Ball Pens, Tixx Fountain Pens & Tixx Coloured Gel Pens make great gifts for any stationery lover. They are all really nice to hold and write smoothly – and the coloured gel pens are so bright and cheerful the kids love them too.
Tardis Desk Tidy*
RRP: £24.99
Perfect for stationery addicts with a geeky side, like myself, this wooden Tardis Desk Tidy is a brilliant box to store away your pens and pencils. The doors on the front actually open up so that you can take your pens in and out through the tardis doors, as well as the whole of the tardis roof opening up on a hinge to put things in and out from the top.
Rex London Washi Tape*
RRP: £2.95 per roll
I love using Washi Tape in my planner and also when wrapping gifts, and the girls love to craft with the fun decorated tape too. Rex London sent us a selection of tapes from their extensive range of cute designs; Milo The Panda, Sydney The Sloth, Best In Show, Love Swans, Cookie the Cat, Space Age & Nordic Christmas. They are all lovely designs and a handful of these tapes would make a great gift.
Colourful Creatures Felt Tip Stamp Pens*
RRP: £5.95
The girls both love to colour in and these Colourful Creatures Felt Tip Stamp Pens come in a great little travel case. You get 18 different colours, with each pen designed to look like a pencil crayon, and a little cap on the end of the pen comes off to reveal a stamper of various designs such as .
Doki Doki Crate*
RRP: £27.00
Another monthly subscription box, this Kawaii themed Doki Doki Crate from Japan Crate often includes different stationery items. In our box, alongside a little Sailor Moon accessory storage box, a soft toy rabbit, pair of chopsticks and rabbit mug, we got an adorable carrot mechanical pencil. These boxes make a great gift for any Kawaii fan.
Derwent A5 Sketching Journal Set
RRP: £22.50
This Derwent A5 Sketching Journal Set is a perfect gift for any artist who likes to sketch on the go. Included in the set is an A5 journal (which lays flat when open), four Graphik Line Marker ink pens (black 0.5, black 0.2, sepia 0.5 and graphite 0.3), and a pen wrap to keep the pens safely attached to the journal.
So there you have it – a whole range of gifts for stationery addicts of all ages. I hope you’ve found this week of gift guides useful and it’s given you some ideas for your Christmas shopping.
