This Muji retractable gel ink pen in 0.38 purple is another in a long line of goodies I grabbed while at the Muji store in Hong Kong. It has a clear, frosted, hexagonal body and the total absence of graphics which is one of the things that make Muji such a nice antithesis to big…

Is the Faber-Castell Perfect Pencil really perfect?
I have been eyeballing the deluxe version of the Perfect Pencil for years with the aluminum cap and luminous golden pencils but a set starts at $50 but can go up to $500 for the platinum version. This Perfect Pencil, on the other hand, was purchased for $30HK (about $4US) and the set of three…

Pelle Leather Journal Review
The Pelle Journal is the American answer to the widely-coveted Japanese Midori Traveler’s notebook. I got the medium-sized notebook which does not align with either of the two sizes available for the Midori books. The small “passport-sized” books seem too small to be truly useful at about 3.5”x5”. I’m curious about the classic “traveler-sized” which…
