2017 Favourites /// Top 5 Pens

Hello there!

My name is Pooja and I am a stationery addict!

Of course, you knew that! If you've been around here for even a few months, you'd know that I love me some stationery- notebooks, pens, papers, washi tapes etc. etc. etc.

So, today, I thought I will share my five favourite writing instruments. These are tried and tested and highly, highly recommended.

Let's get into it, shall we?

Haven't written with a fountain pen in a while but really, really want to?
Afraid to invest in an expensive fountain pen 'cos what if this desire to write with a fountain pen is just a phase?
Plus, what if you ruin the nib of that pricey fountain pen?
If your answer is 'yes' to all of the above, then Platinum Preppy is the answer to your fountain pen-related conundrums!
Priced at Rs. 350, the Platinum Preppy is a beginner's fountain pen with a fantastic nib and writing experience!
It is smooth, has a capping technology that prevents the ink from drying up even if the pen is unused for a whole year and is light enough to make your fingers glide effortlessly over paper!

Buy it from Amazon India.

4. Zebra Mildliners

Zebra Mildliners are dreamy, pastel-y, dual-ended highlighter pens.

This is a must for all bullet journalers or for anyone who loves making lists and then colour-coding them. Or just for anyone who loves highlighters!

They're available in three different types of colours- soft fluorescents, calm and pastels.

Buy them from the Cute Things From Japan.


5. Staedtler Pigment Liner
