It's time for our holiday gift guide again! As with previous years, this year we have put together a list of our top picks for gifts for every type of stationery lover in your life. What's different about this year's lists, though, is that within each category, we have recommended one item each for three different price points. So whether your budget is $$$, $$ or $, we have a gift recommendation for your stationery-obsessed friend!
For a complete list of our Holiday Gift Guide including recommendations from previous years, check out our collection.
Fountain Pen Lover
Any fountain pen lover will likely already know about the Pilot Custom 823. It is a beautiful fountain pen with an amazing gold nib known for its smoothness and softness, and it is one that is cherished by many in the fountain pen community. What's cool about this Custom 823 in particular is the color way. For the longest time, Pilot USA only had this pen available in transparent black and transparent brown, but earlier in 2024, they introduced the Clear color here from Japan! Your fountain pen loving friend will love being able to see the color of their ink in the transparent barrel of their new Custom 823.
If you're looking for a unique and rare pen as a gift for your fountain pen loving friend who already has a lot of pens, look no further! This Year of the Dragon fountain pen was released by us earlier this year in collaboration with Fine Writing International, a Taiwanese pen maker. Designed by our team member Ashley to incorporate thoughtful details of the dragon to celebrate the lunar year of the dragon in 2024, this brass-bodied fountain pen fills using a push button vacuum filling system for easy no-mess filling.

This is a minimal and beautiful notebook system that uses rings instead of a glue or stitched binding so the notebook itself is refillable and you can organize/re-order the pages inside as much as you want until you find what works best. The idea is to not have to carry around so many papers--just what you need to stay organized throughout the day.
The planner/journaler in your life can use this mini desktop tear away calendar to keep track of the days, but many in the stationery community will even tear the thin paper used in this calendar to use in the journal collages.
Stationery Obsessed
This kit comes equipped with XS-sized stationery tools including everything from a mini measuring tape to mini scissors to mini correction tape so your stationery obsessed friend will be prepared with high quality stationery (in a nifty carrying case) in every situation they can possibly come face to face with! 
If you're on a budget but still looking for a really thoughtful gift for the stationery-obsessed special someone in your life, look no further than this 100 Loves book. You fill the pages of this book with 100 reasons you love someone (don't worry, there are some prompts in the back to give you ideas!) and gift it to them. Anyone would love getting something like this, but the stationery obsessed person will cherish it even more because it comes packaged in a cute little booklet!
