Being the massive stationery fan that I am, I had a pretty hard time (oh poor me) trying to decide what I might like.  I was debating between a load of folders and files, which would have enabled me to re-organise my life into alphabetical order/ numerical order/ colour coding. While that definitely wouldn't have been a massive waste of my time, I decided to go for something that I'd always wanted: fineliners!  I'm a sucker for a fineliner.  My friend used to have a big pack at school and I remember being so envious as she took them out and made the cover into a clever little stand. (We were allowed to borrow them as long as we didn't press down too hard. Or chew the lids.)

As well as this amazing 20-pack of coloured fineliners, I also chose this pretty cool notebook, which has a moped on the front, and is designed to look as though it's been postmarked in loads of different countries.  Just by looking online, I wasn't entirely sure what the quality of the book would be like, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that the cover is made of a sort of canvas material and the pages are lovely and thick.  I think I might use it as a travel journal the next time I go away, or perhaps if I actually go travelling at some point this year!

The fineliners shall be used pretty much whenever possible I think.  They're perfect for my art journal (you can find out more about that here) and I'll definitely use them to write in birthday cards, as at the moment I just use a manky old Biro. 

So, if you're looking for stationery for uni or any office supplies for work (including snacks!), then I'd definitely recommend having a browse through Viking Direct's website.  They've got some pretty cool stuff. 


I hope everyone's as relaxed as my cat is today!
