"The Platinum 3776 pens have enough nib options that almost anyone would be able to find a nib to their taste. I have a medium nib on my own 3776 even though I tend to use fine and extra fine, but they make a beautiful music nib for marking sheet music full of notes. Their classic 3776 line consists of lovely jewel-toned translucent bodies—my favourite with the gold trim is the Laurel Green."

"Hobonichi's lined notebooks are perfect for notetaking or general writing—their lines have evenly spaced notches to replicate a grid without any vertical line disruption. You can line up bullet points and subpoints with each other or choose how far you'd like to indent your paragraphs for a creative writing project!"

"I was looking for the perfect colour to complement one of my brighter fountain pens and Orange Soleil was just the ink. I love how vibrant the colour is when you first start writing and how it's a little subdued when it settles so you can appreciate the shades of orange without it hurting your eyes. I've also used it as an accent colour alongside general notes, written in a darker ink."

"My bag determines what notebooks I carry. With its strong magnetic closure, I tend to move my le loop between them so that I can jot down my notes quickly in case I don't have the space for a pencil case. I've also used it to hold several pages together to flip between two sections of my journal, and the cognac colour is a great neutral match for any colour of notebook I have that day."
