"There's nothing like a tiny pen. Actually, there is one thing: the hybrid marker-brush-pen-highlighter that is the Lumos Mini. It takes the incredible fun and flexibility of the Lumos Pro's interchangeable tips and fits it into something small enough to carry in even the tiniest of pockets and bags. It's the ultimate tiny fineliner, marker, and more. I use mine with a 0.3mm tip as an easy EDC pen, while Emma uses hers with the chisel tip for highlighting passages in novels. What will you use yours for?"

"If any of the notebooks we carry is an underdog, it's Monokaki. With a striking black and white cover and cream-toned paper, I'll admit that it wasn't love at first sight, but that's exactly why I'm so impressed. From my first night of writing, it's handled everything I threw at it with ease. The paper is smooth, easy on the eyes, and features a wide line spacing to keep the loops of tall letters clear from your next line. The best part? It fits perfectly in my Grand Voyageur XL!"

"I love finding alternatives to standard black ink, especially those which can substitute for black in daily writing. Garnet Red is one of those beautiful alternatives. Its dark, rich, burgundy colour immediately looks at home on the page. And thanks to its ISO verified document-proof status, it will stay on the page without any fading—perfect for notetaking as the fall semester begins."

"Mail (like its younger sibling, e-mail) isn't the most pleasant to work through. That's what makes Davin & Kessler's letter openers feel like a balm: they help transform regular trudgery into something more enjoyable. Just like a good pen leaves you looking for reasons to write, just holding one of these letter knives leaves you looking forward to the Post's next delivery."
