Dust off that pencil case and waltz back into IRL with our edit of stationery that's conducive to productivity, creativity and organisation. Here are our top nine heroes for shaking off the back-to-work blues.



1. The Completist x Papersmiths Daily Undated Planner

Make a desktop statement with the planner of your wildest dreams. Our favourite pattern makers and stationery pals, The Completist, have created two exclusive-to-Papersmiths editions of their Daily Undated Planner. It's a good 'un.

2. Everyday Pen

New in this month, the Everyday Pen is the latest addition to our Papersmiths family. Designed by us and created with our experts in Japan, this smooth flowing retractable pen comes in six vibrant hues. And it's refillable!

3. Bookmark

Maximise your commute time with some you time. How about a new read? We're loving this for its capacity to make us laugh out loud at the same time as tugging on our heartstrings and this for its lessons on perspective. We'll be marking our place with a good bookmark.

Brass Bookmarks, £13.50



4. Notebook Strap

Transport your pens and prevent pesky colleagues from pilfering them with our elasticated notebook straps. Check out our spectrum of colours and sizes, we have options for A6, A5 and A4 notebooks.

5. Morello and Marais Notebook

Get that new notebook feeling with two of our best sellers, Morello and Marais. The numbered pages makes for easy navigation and, better yet, they change colour. Packed with a whopping 236 pages, but will you choose dot grid or ruled paper? 

Psst, our plain paper version launches next month. You heard it here first.

6. Sixteen Month Dated Diary

If you need to keep on top of meetings, classes and lunch dates, a dated scheduler is a must. This one has a handy cover which doubles as a zippy pocket for storing a pen, receipts or notes. It runs from September 2021 - December 2022, so it'll see you through a decent stint of planning. Available in A5 or A6 size.
