2024 stationery favorites ✿ the best notebooks, pens, stickers ✿ stationery consumerism
Welcome back to Tiny Tiger Co! In this video, I’m sharing my favorite stationery finds from 2024 and reflecting on the joy and meaning these items bring to my life. From cherished memories of traveling through Japan with my son on our first family trip to thoughtful tools that inspire creativity, each piece has been functional and meaningful in some way.
°˖✧ my stationery favorites:
traveler’s notebooks kyoto edition
pilot custom 823 paired with j. herbin ambre de birmanie ink
sailor pro gear slim dragon palace with diamine celadon cat ink
lamy 2000 with pilot iroshizuku kiri-same
traveler’s company pencil board
stickers from maruzen and 100-yen stores
This video also reflects on a topic close to my heart - intentional consumption. While I love discovering new stationery, I’m mindful of the consumerism often amplified on UA-cam. I’m learning to admire without owning, embrace compassion amidst scarcity, and make the most of what I already have.
°˖✧ what’s next
Stay tuned for my next video, where I’ll share my stationery flops from 2024 - the items that didn’t work for me and what I’ve learned from them.
What were your favorite stationery items this year, and how do you approach mindful consumption in your hobby? I’d love to hear your thoughts.
Thank you for watching, and see you in the next one!

    That tiny TN charm is adorable!!! I am guilty of purchasing notebooks when I don't always have a plan. I've been trying to reign it in, but 2024 was not a shining moment from that perspective. I have tried two of the three pens you showcased in your video. I didnt have the greatest experience with my Lamy Safari, so I didn't explore other pens in that line after that. Maybe someday, I'll get a chance to try it out! I can relate to what you said about the enjoyment of using stickers and tapping into your inner child. I have always loved stickers and stationery. Getting lost in a notebook brings me so much comfort. 🥹 I just have to keep checking in with myself to make sure I'm not getting too excessive with my stationery hobby. It's so easy to spend money on cute things! Thank you for sharing your perspective on the scarcity mindset and how it can negatively impact our wellbeing. I enjoyed hearing about your favourite items, your thoughts on consumerism and how you've managed it. I look forward to hearing about your "flops" in your next video!

      I think travel years ought to be given more grace, especially when you go to a stationery paradise like Japan 😄. We're clearly not alone in the comfort and joy stationery and cute stickers offer us, and these warm and genuine communities are so far and few in between. I can empathise with a Lamy aversion. My first fountain pen was a Lamy CP1 for some reason and the experience was so awful I was put off fountain pens for the next 10 years before stumbling into the stationery UA-cam community in 2023 gave me the confidence to try them again. My Lamy 2000 wasn't exactly love at first sight and it took finding the right ink (the first ink I tried in it was J. Herbin Perle Noire and it was too dry) to get into the flow (pun intended). Thanks so much for being here and taking the time to leave such a kind and thoughtful comment! 💛 Your support means a lot to me. See you again soon!

    My name is Helena too 😊 I journaled in a Hobonichi Cousin for years, but last year I changed my system. Just like you I didn’t like having my weekly pages with stickers and happy memories together with the daily pages that were more of the dear diary type. I tried having a separate memory planner, and journaled in an A6 Hobonichi last year. Now I have the A6 planner for journaling about my feelings, and I use a Cousin Avec for planning, tracking and memory keeping. I’ll see how this feels.

      @ oh that’s so good to know! I ended up ordering a TWSBI Eco! I know you recommended a TWSBI Diamond 580, but since this is my first FP I wanted to start at a more beginner price point, so I felt the Eco might be a good start! Plus I’ve heard they’re quite similar? I’m soo excited💕

      @moonlit.journal I think that’s a terrific choice for a starter fountain pen. I’ve never used one but I know lots of people who love it. I would recommend TWSBI’s in general over a Lamy Safari (another popular starter fountain pen), but I can’t say I love my Diamond 580 because the weight makes it a little tiring to use. I think the Eco is lighter and may very well be more comfortable ☺️. Hope it comes soon!

Filming videos of both flipping through planners and talking at the same time was much harder than I expected! Does it get easier with practice? My son asks to look through his “special book” all the time 😄. Keiko Shibata is an artistic genius!! I’ve been slowly developing the habit of updating my health and wellness planner more regularly. It’s been a truly functional tool that has helped me be more intentional about caring for my heart, body, and mind. The paper in the new Hobonichi Weeks has been something to get used to. I’m glad you also noticed the thicker lines and I’m not going mad. I’ve even had some bleed through which has never happened for me with Tomoe River paper before. An opportunity to use more of my finer pens, I suppose! I’ve loved discovering audiobooks! I’m going to treat myself to a nice fountain pen for reaching that big hairy goal last year.

    Loved hearing about your 2025 system! I really appreciated your intro and completely agree - this community is so kind and supportive to one another ❤ I also felt the same way about the Cousin, having everything in one place started to feel disorganized/chaotic for me which is why I've also decided to compartmentalize my books this year. I hope your 2025 books serve you well! ✨ Kind of a random question but what fountain pen do you use? I'm just starting to get into fountain pens and I like the thickness of your writing! 🙂

I can’t wait to see how you experiment with your new system. I hope you find planner peace this year too! ✨ Not random at all! I’m always happy to talk about fountain pens 😄. I got into Hobonichi planners because their paper was recommended as especially suitable for my fountain pens. In my Cousin, the pens I’ve used in the writing featured include TWSBI Diamond 580 with a Fine nib, Sailor Pro Gear Slim with a Medium Fine nib, Lamy 2000 with an Extra Fine nib, and Pilot Custom 823 with a Fine nib. I find EF and F nibs are typically the best for Hobonichi’s small grid sizes. This year, the paper in my Weeks are performing differently than my 2024 Cousin. As such, inks are spreading more on the page and pens are writing ever so slightly more broadly. I’ve been using my Sailors with the <MF> nibs but in my personal opinion, they don’t look as good as they do in the Cousin. Hope that’s not too much information! If there’s ever a specific pen or ink you see that looks good, don’t ever hesitate to ask 🙂. I hope you do choose to enter the fabulous world of fountain pens! It’s so much fun!! 🖋️
