Thursday Drops: Restocking Old Favorites

We’re entering the “June lull” between new product releases, when everyone has finished up with school, work (hopefully) slows down, and people prepare to take vacation. Personally, it’s been a hectic past few weeks and I’m looking forward to some time off next week. Since I will be on vacation, orders placed between Saturday, June 11 and Saturday, June 18 will begin shipping the following week. What does this mean? If you want something delivered as a graduation or Father’s Day Gift, please get the order in during the next few days. I will do one last shipment the morning of Saturday, June 11.

As I mentioned on Tuesday, we recently received a huge restock of Midori MD products, and are also fully stocked on Caran d’Ache, Write Notepads, and many more favorites.

The T.G.S. Curated Shop is an authorized retailer of all brands stocked.

1. Midori MD 70th Anniversary Fountain Pen and Ink Sets. These literally sold out in a day last time, and we’re already running low once again on certain colors. For their 70th Anniversary Midori has paired a special color MD fountain pen with three inks that match their colored pencil set (grey, orange, and blue).

2. Caran d’Ache 849 Black Code, Original, Gold Bar, and Brut Rosé. The four “Pop Line” ballpoints were some of the first products I stocked in the shop, and I recently re-upped for the start of gift season. We also have Gold Bar and Brut Rosé mechanical pencils in stock - the Black Code version sold quickly but we will get more.

3. Caran d’Ache Fixpencil and Fixpencil 884 (Colors). Another “launch product” from the T.G.S. Curated Shop, these 2mm leadholders were the original “mechanical pencil,” developed in response to wartime materials shortages. We also carry replacement leads in HB, B, and 2B hardnesses.

4. Caran d’Ache x Nespresso Swiss Wood Pencils. While the Nespresso 849 pens are unfortunately out of stock (at least until the next collaboration), I managed to snag another shipment of the Swiss Wood Pencil Set.

5. Caran d’Ache Swiss Wood Gift Sets. One of our most popular seasonal gift items, this pencil set contains three Swiss Wood pencils in different , a sharpener, and a high quality eraser.

6. Midori MD Journal A5 Dot Grid. This dot grid version of the classic Midori MD A5 notebook always sells out quickly, and we fortunately were able to get another shipment in quickly.

7. Midori MD A4 Notebook. The largest of the Midori MD notebooks, only available in plain/blank paper. We also stock the durable paper covers.

8. Write Notepads Memo Pads. These letter-size memo pads have easily become my favorite paper for everyday writing. I prefer dot grid, but the Cornell-style “Meeting Pads” and the lined versions are also incredibly popular.

9. Write Notepads Classic Hardcover Notebook. If you’re looking for an exceptionally classy gift for graduation or Father’s Day, look no further than this hardbound notebook that features Write’s excellent lined or dot grid paper.

10. Revamped Washi Tape Page! Be sure to check out our revamped page of washi tape, pins, and more! We recently reworked the page to list each tape individually with better pictures, and also listed nearly a dozen new patterns.
