"This beautiful, Italian fountain pen features a model fittingly named after the king of the gods in Greek mythology—Zeus. The navy and grey resin swirl through the body like a stormy sky right before the thunder breaks. Gold metal trim and a subtle thunderbolt motif around the nib give a nod to Zeus’s legendary power. Smooth and satisfying to write with, this pen adds a little spark of divine inspiration to every page."

"The Stalogy notebooks are truly tried and true. As someone who journals a lot, I love how the thin paper holds up so well, even with fountain pens, there’s very little bleed-through. The binding is sturdy enough to handle all the photos and ephemera I tape into my pages, and the softcover B6 size makes it the perfect everyday carry. Slim, lightweight, and easy to toss into a bag without taking up much space."

"Pilot Iroshizuku Yama-Budo has been a longtime favorite in my ink collection. It’s a rich purple that adds a subtle pop of color to any page, whether I’m journaling or just writing notes. The 50 ml bottle lasts forever through countless fountain pen refills, and honestly, this color never fails to make me smile."

"This solid brass key ring may be small, but it carries so much history and intention. Carl Auböck’s fourth-generation workshop casts each smooth little elephant individually and finishes it by hand, making sure every surface feels just right. Over time, the brass develops a beautiful patina, giving the piece even more character and a sense of life as it’s used every day."
