Hilarious and
cute, these
make grocery
list transcribing
imminently more fun.
The perfect solution if every member of the family gets a different color on a shared calendar.

Cast in the shape of Bento boxes and milkshakes, Iwako erasers justify their own dedicated bookshelf display!

Crisp, classic, enough said.
The Archie Grand collection: Exactly the sort of books you can judge by their covers.
Wrapped in cotton fabric, and loaded with graph paper, these Postalco notebooks absolutely justify a slightly steeper pricetag.
Everything that French ceramics company Astier de Villatte makes is insanely gorgeous: Their range of notebooks are no exception.
The big downside of Marie Papier notebooks? Almost too pretty to use.
Eensy and unabashedly straightforward.
Pre-doodled, by artist Ryan McGinness.
If you find the paint chips at your local hardware store downright mesmerizing, this is the notebook set for you.
Published in sets—states, county fairs—we bet you can't buy just one.
The perfect upgrade for a notebook that's seen better days, but is just too precious to toss.
