It’s been quite a while since we’ve had the Hightide Folding Book Stands in stock, and I’m happy to announced that they’re back, in nearly a dozen colors! These versatile desk accessories can hold anything from a book that you’re reading, to a tablet, to a notepad you’re using to transcribe handwritten notes. We also recently received a small shipment of Hightide 30 minute Sandglasses (Clear glass), so if you’ve been eyeing one of the larger sandglasses now’s your chance! Plenty of other new arrivals as well, and stay tuned for the release of the 2021 Holiday Gift Guide sometime next week, just in time for the start of the holiday shopping season.

I did want to take a minute to talk holiday shipping. Given the high volume of orders all retailers receive in November and December, and more traffic with the carriers, deliveries may be delayed. This is something we have very little control over. While we are nearly always able to ship orders within 2-3 business days on our end, carrier delivery may take longer due to volume, weather, etc. USPS has been our default, but we now offer UPS Ground as an additional option and will be shifting some orders to UPS if postal delays get worse. Should you need an order expedited, please reach out to arrange expedited shipping. Just remember to be kind, and to place time-sensitive orders with plenty of time to spare.

Hightide Co. Folding Metal Bookstands. Now available in 11 different colors. A T.G.S. favorite!
Hightide Co. Sandglasses. IMHO, everyone needs a non-digital timing device for their desk. Whether for your journaling sessions, morning pages, or simply longer periods of deep concentration, it’s sometimes nice to avoid the jarring buzz of a cell phone or alarm clock. 30, 15, 5, and 3-minute increments available.
Penco “Perfection” Bullet Pen. These sturdy pocket pens are perfect for those who love the “bullet-pen” format, but want something a bit more substantial. Featuring chrome, gold, and matte black finishes over a brass body, with lighter plastic versions also available.
Penco Drafting Ballpoint Pens and Pencils. A shorter, more portable version of the traditional hexagonal drafting pens/pencils, in either matte black or silver. The mechanical pencil sports a .5mm lead size.
Modern Fuel Bolt-Action Mechanical Pencil (via Kickstarter). Modern Fuel is back with a new design - a bolt-action version of its high-end mechanical pencil designed to last a lifetime. This latest design is available in copper, stainless steel, brass, and titanium. Only five days left on this project, which has raised over $138,000 to date.
Caran d’Ache 849 Rollerball. Back in stock in all colors! The 849 Rollerball keeps the shape of the Classic 849 ballpoint, only upsized and now compatible with Parker-style refills. If you’d like to learn more, check out this post taking an extended look at the pen.
Caran d’Ache 849 Claim Your Style, Edition No. 3. By far my favorite Claim Your Style edition, this year’s pens feature a more muted, monochromatic design than in years past.
Traveler’s Notebook 2022 Planners (and Undated Versions). It’s planner season, and likely will stay that way until early January. We carry the full range of dated and undated refills for your Traveler’s Notebook and other compatible notebook covers. 2022 versions are now in stock.
Midori MD 2022 Planner/Calendar Stickers. Don’t use/need a dedicated planner? Consider these stickers, made from Midori MD paper that allow you to turn any notebook into a planner (or easily add a page to a bullet journal, etc.).
Write Notepads Classic Hardcover Notebook in Dot Grid. Finally, one of my favorite Write Notepads products is now available with Dot Grid paper. I use one of these as my commonplace book, where (at least most of the time) transcribe notes from my reading.
