Stationery
In addition to fulfilling all your reading requirements we also provide a wide range of stationery, cards and beautiful pens. We try to source our stationery from around the U.K. and do our best to find designs that are unique to our shops.
Cards & Notelets
Both our stores have extensive card ranges, many of which are art based. We especially like
Art Angels, Art File, Canns Down Press, Green Pebble, Wrendale Designs, Emma Ball, Curious Inksmith.
You will also find a fine selection of notelets from
Toasted Crumpet, Ling Design, Great British Card Company, Museums and Galleries.
Gift Wrap
We have a range of gift wrap including some beautiful designs from Art Angels, Toasted Crumpet, and Cambridge Imprint.
Diaries & Address Books
We stock address books, including the beautifully illustrated Mairi Hedderwick Hebridean range and Wrendale Designs featuring the glorious artwork from Hannah Dale.
Along with Collins and Letts diaries we also carry other ranges including Moleskine, Wrendale and Emma Ball.
Journals
Our stock of journals includes everything from pocket size to A4, in a variety of finishes, including leather. We have Claire Fontaine, Moleskine, Rhodia, and Cathian Leather.
Our newest notebooks are the lovely range from Dingbats* we have both the Wildlife and Earth Collection. Dingbats* are eco-friendly, in fact the Earth Collection highlights the fragile eco-systems around the globe. Even though the notebooks are also vegan friendly and recyclable, there is no loss of quality in the design, finish, and the 100gsm cream, acid free paper copes well with most pens, including fountain. A recent addition to our pen stock is Atopen from Dingbats*, which is great for art, calligraphy and bullet journaling.
Whilst our blank journals have many uses, we also stock journals designed for specific purposes. We have baby journals, birdwatching journals, book journals, cookery journals, travel journals, and more! Our stores can also supply you with quality leather journals, including Condolence and Remembrance books.
Sketchbooks and art supplies
Another range that we have recently extended is our sketchbooks and art supplies. As well as Moleskine we now carry Crok’book, Flying Spirit, Paint’on sketchbooks and Goldline watercolour pads from Claire Fontaine and Inspira Animalia notebooks. These all come in a variety of sizes.
Our art supplies include Derwent sketch pencils, Posca pens, Windsor and Newton putty rubbers and charcoal.
Jigsaws and Games
Jigsaws and games have proved to be popular and we continue to have a wide range of these available. We have jigsaws from Usborne Publishing for little ones up to 1000-piece ones for more experienced puzzlers. The designers of some of our stationery such as Angela Harding, Annie Soudain, and Robert MacFarlane and Jackie Morris also produce jigsaws.
Games range from playing cards, including Happy Families, Dobble, and Exploding Kittens, to board games such as Catan, Carcassonne, Dixit and Ticket to Ride.
Gifts
Our shops can supply you with book-themed gifts including mugs and pouches. Several of our stationery suppliers also provide gift items now, from mugs and tea towels to cuddly toys, scarves and handbags.
We continuously update our range of stationery and gifts.
