Ballpoint Pen

Even if you don't own a Uni Jetstream,

you've probably heard us talk about them before

because let's be honest, we love them,

that's all end of story. We can go home now.

It's a standout among ballpoint pens.

It boasts consistent ink flow  thanks to its low viscosity,

and it dries quickly!

Because it dries so fast it's great for lefties!

The Jetstream offers tip sizes from 0.28 mm

to 1.0 mm.

So there's a size for every one!

Mine is 0.5 mm.

Specifically in the Jetstream...

in case anybody's wondering...

Brush Pen

There's a reason why the  Pentel Fude Touch Sign Pen

is one of our most popular brush pens,

and it's been for a long time!

Whether you're into calligraphy or art

this pen can do it all!

It features a durable brush  tip that's great for beginners

providing good control while  allowing for varying line widths.

Plus, it comes in an impressive  palette of 24 vivid colors!

Check out those greens...

and the blues...

and the purples!

They're beautiful!

Fineliner Pen

If you know an artist we can guarantee

they have some Sakura Pigma Micron Pens

sitting around.

They're the first fineliner pens

for many young artists

and for good reason!

They feature archival ink,

a large range of tip sizes,

starting as small as 0.15 mm,

and have a solid rainbow of colors to choose from!

And they're waterproof!

That's not even on this list!

I'm adding it right now!

The Sakura Pigma even come  in brush and chisel tips!

Really, honestly a stunning range of tip sizes

from a really great pen!

Personal recommendation here!

Fountain Pen

The best fountain pen can be pretty subjective,

but you can't get any more basic

than the Platinum Preppy.

Not only is it super affordable

and beginner friendly,

it also packs a punch despite its low price tag!

The preppy is easy to use,

high quality,

and offers an attractive design

with several colors,

and nib sizes.

It's also low maintenance!

The cap design prevents the nib from drying out

even if it goes a year or longer without use.

Pretty great!

I own like three of these.

Okay maybe two...

but I would own three.

Gel Pen

You'd be hard-pressed to find a stationary nut

who doesn't own a few Uni-ball Signos!

After all they write smoothly,

boast high quality ink,

and come in a plethora of colors

and multiple tip sizes!

The Signo is the perfect everyday pen

and they're especially popular with students!

Highlighter

We can't talk about highlighters

without highlighting the Zebra Mildliner.

[forced chuckle]

It's the quintessential highlighter of choice

for students and study-grammers.

There are more than 20 fun colors to choose from,

not to mention their convenient

double-sided design that lets you highlight,

underline,

circle,

and write notes with just one pen!

If you like highlighters

and don't own a mildliner,

what are you waiting for?!

Mechanical Pencil

After you've used the Zebra DelGuard,

you'll never go back

to your old mechanical pencils!

With a DelGuard it's virtually impossible

to break your lead.

It features a clever design

that cushions your lead as you write.

If you apply too much vertical pressure

the lead slides back into the pencil

instead of snapping.

If too much sideways pressure is applied,

the lead guard will extend to protect the lead.

Super cool!

And it works!

Multi Pen

Among all multi-pens,

The Pilot Hi-Tec-C Coleto

truly stands above the crowd.

It combines the smooth, crisp performance

of the original Hi-Tec-C gel pen,

with the convenience of a multi pen.

The Coleto is highly versatile

you can choose from over 30 colors, as well--

Really?! 30 colors?!

--as well as a mechanical pencil

or eraser refill.

And it comes in 2, 3, 4, or 5 component bodies.

Student Notebook

If you're a student,

you definitely want to have

the Kokuyo Campus Notebooks in your backpack!

Aside from their silky smooth paper

they feature an innovative

dotted-rule sheet style

that helps you write organized in

evenly spaced notes,

draw graphs,

and align diagrams.

If dotted-rule isn't your style,

they also come in blank, graph,

and regular lined styles.

Unlike unwieldy binders,

these notebooks are lightweight

and easy to carry in a backpack.

Not big on notebooks?

No problem!

Kokuyo Campus loose leaf paper

is a must-have if you prefer binder systems.

Try them with

Kokuyo Campus Smart Ring Binder Notebooks.

The loose leaf sheets allow for more organization,

since you can rearrange your notes

as you like!

Besides the usual sheet styles,

Kokuyo Campus loose leaf paper

is also available in a convenient calendar style

for optimal productivity!

Fountain Pen Notebook

When it comes to picking a notebook

for your fountain pen,

you can't go wrong with

the Maruman Mnemosyne line.

Fountain pen nibs will glide over

its ultra smooth paper!

With an impressive array of sizes,

sheet styles,

and binding types to choose from,

it's easy to find a notebook  that suits your needs!

My Sakura Micron PSA!

I love my Coleto!

I still use the same Coleto

that i've been using for like four years!

And it still works,

because I take care of it and I baby it.
