Five Things on My JetPens Wishlist
Mar. 18th, 2025 11:38 am
I spend a lot of time browsing JetPens, adding things to my wishlist that I may or may not actually buy. Some are practical, some are just for fun, and some are things I tell myself I’ll use but realistically know I won’t. Here are five random things sitting in my wishlist right now that I’m thinking about picking up next.
LAMY Safari Fountain Pen – Fine Nib
This would be my third fountain pen, my second LAMY, and my first with a fine nib. I already have a medium nib LAMY and a calligraphy nib, but I’m curious to see how the fine nib compares. Since I tend to write small and often on compact planner pages, a finer nib might actually be a better fit for me.
I’m also looking for an upgrade from my Pilot Kakuno, but I don’t want to spend a fortune on a pen I might not use every day. The LAMY Safari is a solid middle ground—good quality without breaking the bank.
Beverly Marumi Sticky Notes – Large, Grid
You can never have too many sticky notes. I already have blank and lined ones, so I’m considering adding grid-style sticky notes to my collection. These come in four colors, and their larger size makes them perfect for my A5 notebooks.
I’ve surprised myself with how often I need to go back to my notes and add addendums, so I rely on sticky notes more than I ever expected. I love the idea of a structured grid format, especially for organizing ideas neatly without turning my pages into a chaotic mess.
Pilot Dr. Grip Gel Pen – Mauve Body
Here’s a hot take: Dr. Grip pens are underrated.
I have an awkward grip, and most pens force me into a position that tires my hand out way too fast. But the Dr. Grip’s gel-like grip lets me hold it more naturally, without cramping. I used to have a hot pink Dr. Grip years ago, but after it ran out of ink, I lost the body somewhere along the way. I miss it.
What’s surprising is that this pen is still around the same price as it was years ago. In the world of stationery, where everything seems to creep up in cost, it’s nice to see something remain accessible.
Kokuyo Washi Tape Cutter Clip – Light Pink
I am not a washi tape user. Or at least, I haven’t been.
A few weeks ago, I picked up my first roll of washi tape, and I still haven’t used it. I’d like to find an excuse to, though, and this washi tape cutter clip caught my attention. It’s cute, convenient, and might actually motivate me to use washi tape for once.
That said, I’m fully aware that a pair of scissors would do the same job. Will I actually buy this? Maybe. But for now, it sits on my wishlist as a reminder that I should probably start using the washi tape I already own.
Tombow Mono Graph Shaker Mechanical Pencil – Sakura Pink
I’m not much of a pencil user, so I have no real reason to buy this for myself. But I’ve been thinking about getting it as a gift for a family member who loves stationery almost as much as I do—and who loves the color pink just as much as I do.
I do admire the twist-top eraser, which reminds me of my Pentel Twist-Erase mechanical pencil. But as much as I like the design, I absolutely do not need another pencil. I already have a whole box of wooden pencils that I don’t use (which I’ll save for another blog entry).
