My Lovely Christmas Stationery Haul
I know, it’s February next week, I really shouldn’t be talking about Christmas now should I? However, I was a very lucky girl this Christmas and got some really gorgeous stationery bits for presents, so I thought I would share them with you. I love new bits of stationery from pens to notebooks and pads, pretty scissors and pencils. You name it, I love it!
So, here are some of my goodies. From left to right, first up is my favourite item – a hand-painted pen pot courtesy of my 4 year old son. One side has a cat on and the other side a digger – some of his favourite things 🙂 .
Next, I received three beautiful notebooks, I’m not sure what to use them for at the moment. I tend to save new notebooks until I find the right purpose for them. Nothing like writing on that crisp first page – or is it just me?
A lot of my friends and family know that I’m a big Radley fan. So I was lucky enough to receive a few little dog themed stationery bits from Santa this year. Two lovely mugs, I know not technically stationery, but still. A set of three notepads and a lovely desk pad.
I took part in a blogger’s Secret Santa this year and it was really good fun. As part of my present I received a lovely stationery set that includes a notebook, thank you cards, post-it notes and a fab pink pen.
Finally, I got an absolutely beautiful purple wire rose bookmark, a pair of Cath Kidston scissors and some really pretty pencils with Swarovski crystals on the end. Overall, I think I was a very lucky girl.
Did you all get some lovely stationery bits for Christmas?
Ooh these are great! I got some stationary and I love it! I’m stationary mad. It’s the thing I’ve kind of been buying a bit since going on my diet thing. I think it’s my new comfort buy! I love your notebooks. I love ones like that which are all fancy and lovely! Angela x
Yes notebooks are a nice non-food indulgence 🙂
What lovely presents 🙂 I especially love the pen pot designed by your son 🙂 It is lovely! I am a fan of Radley too, I loev the doggie themed stationary, it is gorgeous 🙂

You can never go wrong with Radley! And I love the pen pot too, so thoughtful and sweet
Ah, I want it all!! That pen pot is so sweet and precious and I particularly love the stationery set. I’m just the same with new notebooks, and they do just keep piling up here 🙂 Thanks for sharing with #PaperyPeep x
Yes the pen pot is my favourite too and the notebooks are still sitting there waiting to be used a week later ha ha
Wow, so many pretties! I’m such a sucker for beautiful stationary products, and I love all the ones you received this year 🙂
Thanks Cara, I am a total sucker for stationery too
Laura I have total stationary envy! All of these things look so pretty – I especially like the happy thoughts note book and the thank you cards (which has incidentally just reminded me that I need to send Christmas thank you cards).
I like the happy thoughts notebook too, I am thinking of starting a gratitude journal as per your blog post actually
I usually have a rule that I skip anything that has the word ‘haul’ in it but I made an exception as some of the stationery looked familiar! 🙂 It looks like your gift givers know you well! x
I obviously need to come up with a better word than haul! Thanks for being my secret santa 😉
Verrry pretty! Too pretty to use! And I love the painted pen pot too 🙂 #paperypeep
The painted pen pot has pride of place on the shelf by my desk 🙂
Aw, some gorgeous stuff right there! I love that painted pot by your son, that’s really special (and good for holding some of them pens ;)) xx
It is indeed – it is my favourite Christmas stationery item 🙂
Crystal studded pencils sounds very decadent, but very fab. I mentioned Christmas in my post too – it’s ok, I think we got away with it, everyone’s so busy looking at our lovely gifts 🙂 #paperypeep
They are quite decadent aren’t they? I haven’t actually taken them out of the packet yet lol
Like Donna I usually skip past posts that have ‘haul’ in them, I just don’t like that word but I am a sucker for pretty stationery. I got a new notebook when I went into hospital, last June, and I still haven’t found a use for it! I just keep looking at it.
Ok I definitely need to come up with a new word instead of haul 😉 Yes I have not actually used any of my stationery, I need to christen some of them.
I am exactly the same with pretty notebooks, they need to have a specific use before I’ll start using them 😉 gorgeous bits here 🙂
