Product description
The Creative Block features 300 sheets in a variety of twelve different creative prompts, designed to get your pen moving.

We all know about creative block. Whether it’s caused by limiting beliefs, no inspo, an unexplained low, lack of space… Whatever the reason, it sucks.
So how do you turn the tap back on? How do you get your ideas to flow again? How do you get back to that feeling of exhilarating creativity? The one where you’ve got it all at your fingertips. It’s in your hands. You’re a genius at work.
But you’re staring at a blank page. And the tap is dry.
In 2017, we designed a testing pad for our stores to encourage you guys to pick up our pens and get them moving. To get your draw on. To have some fun. Wordplay or pencil play. Pressure-free. No big deal.
Since we made them, you’ve been asking to buy them. Everyday.
Well, now you can.
We call it The Creative Block. We got stuck on the name.

It's designed by us and printed by our buddies in Bristol. We've used an uncoated 100gsm Italian paper stock made with 80% recycled fibres and 20% ECF virgin fibers.
It's FSC® certified, acid free, chlorine free, biodegradable, recyclable and, we hope you'll be pleased to hear, it comes without any unnecessary packaging.
It's the first Papersmiths paper product and we're proud as punch.
The twelve prompts are:

Let customers speak for us
New stationery is a thing of joy and the lovely packaging and note took it up a level. I bought the wrong size notebook band as I was so taken by the colour that I did not read the sizing properly. I asked if I could return it and it was all dealt with so efficiently and politely. All round happy and itching to buy more.
lovely presentation, easy to understand and get into and a brilliant exercise to make everyday a bit brighter!
I've been using The Completist planners for years. I love how flexible they are with their binding. The paper quality is top. They use G F Smith paper which is my favourite. Usually i get the undated versions from them but i loved this colour and couldn't help myself! Love it.
Just received this diary. It’s an instant hit. So chic and such a great layout. It’s now part of my evening routine taking time to reflect on the day. Love!
Absolutely love these pens. Feel lovely to hold and write beautifully. Great selection of colours.
Great quality paper, gorgeous shade of orchid pink and no plastic delivery. Very happy. Thank you
Quality to do list notebook, with lovely thick paper. Papersmiths always package it up so nicely as well. Even a small notebook purchase feels like high end luxury.
Really good quality, looks great 👍👍
Excellent, just what I needed, and nice thick, non bleed paper tops it off. Fast delivery.
I lost my first primo pen after coming back to America and was thrilled to receive another 3 after this latest Christmas. The friendly postcard and the quality of the envelope in which the pens arrived were heart-warming additions! These are the best pens I own! 10/10
Loved the personal service and superb presentation & personalised message
Leaving gift for friend and she really loved it
Loveliest packaging and little note x
Love it! It slid around a bit at first, but once stuck, it's stuck!!!
I love the colour (beautiful orange) and sturdiness. It's not too big or heavy either. With this diary I can record a tiny message every day. And next year will record another message on the same page as the pages are divided in 5. So I will have my "collection of thoughts, written down everyday for 5 years".
The staff is very friendly and the delivery was very quick and well packed.
