We know where our next pay cheque is going.
Cute stationery shops
Papier
If you want to get yourself organised for the new year, then a Papier journal or diary is essential. There's a wide range of formatting options, so however you like to organise yourself on paper, they'll have an option for you. You can also personalise the diary, planner, journal or notepad. As well as all your journalling needs, Papier also supplies incredibly beautiful notecards, birthday cards and photobooks. Is there anything they can't do?
Scribbler
For more tongue in cheek stationery, head to Scribbler. We're talking rude notebooks, sweary sticky notes and offensive pen sets, as well as pop culture references @hunsnet would be proud of. It's pretty affordable, too, so great for picking up a last minute gift or gesture.
Present & Correct
Clips and desk trays and jotters, oh my! This beautifully curated website offers old-school stationery with contemporary vintage-inspired design. It's a must-visit for keen letter writers, as the 'mail' section is the far-more-stylish WHSmith of your dreams, but honestly, any stationery lover could find a new addition to their desk in their selection.
Paperchase
Paperchase will always hold a special place in stationery lovers' hearts, thanks to their cute designs and huge selection of cards. They really have everything you could need, from pens and pencils to stickers, memo blocks, planners, scrapbooks, albums... everything!
Trouva
This online marketplace is stuffed full of cute, independent shops, perfect for all of your work from home needs. From pen pots (and pens to fill them with) to notebooks, writing sets and thank you cards, there's guaranteed to be a style and vibe that suits you.
Busy B
The Busy B site has so much cool stuff, you won't know what to buy first – travel wallets and address books sit next to chalkboard labels and sticky page makers, all in their signature whimsical designs. Ladies who have put a ring on it should also check out their Bride to B series, which has countdown calendars, bridesmaid planners and to-do books to keep you as organised as it's possible to be.
Liberty
It's a classic for a reason. We love Liberty's iconic floral designs that are on all their stationery, from memo-pads to colouring pencils. Whilst not the most affordable option on this list, their stationery products make for amazing gifts for your stationery mad friend.
The Green Gables
We've got three words for you, and those words are Ombre. Watercolour. Notepads. And for £2.75, no less! The Green Gables mostly deal in paper products like cards and giftwrap, but there's also a bunch of hidden gems like badges and personalised stickers as well . Everything is eco friendly, and if you just can't choose? They also offer a monthly stationary subscription service called the Happy Paper Club (squee!)
Fy!
Fy! is a great online marketplace for independent retailers, ranging in products from furniture to wall art to kids' toys. They also have a rather cool range of stationery options. Think the art prints you'd have on your wall on a card and brightly coloured weekly planners.
Sparrow + Wolf
Sparrow + Wolf's designer Cherie is obsessed with bright colours, and it show in their products, which have pops of neon and metallic running throughout each collection. With prints ranging from cutesy origami to embossed umbrellas and storm clouds, there's something for everyone in their ever-growing, quirky repertoire. When you place an order, which you inevitably will, don't forget to add one of their adorable pocket mirrors to your basket as well.
