The Journal Shop The Journal Shop was born out of a personal passion for cool stationery and good living. A veritable garden of stationery delights, if you will.

Our Service

We love stationery. You love stationery. That makes us friends. We like to help our friends. So if you need anything, just call, email, DM or shine a big Batman style TJS in the sky. We'll be all over it. This is the reason our customers love us back: we've got the stellar customer service to go with our awesome stationery.

📍🇬🇧 We did it. We co-hosted the first ever Hobonichi Caravan of its kind in London.

✍🏻 It feels quietly significant to say that out loud. A brand we’ve admired for so long, finally shared in a room with people who really get it.

✨ The turnout was genuinely lovely. The space filled, then settled. Pages opened, pens were passed around, and conversations started naturally; no rushing, no awkwardness. By the end of both sessions, it didn’t feel like an event anymore. It felt like a group of people who’d known each other for years, brought together by their love of journalling.

📚 What stayed with us was the openness. People talked about how they journal, how (sometimes) they don’t journal, what works, what doesn’t. Favourite inks, abandoned systems, messy pages and most importantly, stickers (iykyk)! There was no right way on display, just a shared appreciation for writing things down and seeing where it leads.

✍🏼 Days like this are a reminder that stationery is really just a doorway. What matters is the attention, the pause, the small daily rituals we choose to keep. Our journaling community feels a little fuller after this one, and we’re very grateful to everyone who came and made it what it was.

Thank you 🖤

YSTUDIO, founded by two friends with a love for the written word and a desire to help us disconnect, put our phones down and pick up a pen. When was the last time you put pen to paper (& not just for work, or quick note taking) and wrote for the sake of writing, for creativity and for pleasure?

YSTUDIO’s designs are thoughtful right down to the very fine details. Nothing is missed, nothing is overlooked and the end result is a writing instrument that you’ll cherish for life.

Every pen is presented in a unique presentation box complete with instructional details about the product and the brand (printed on beautiful paper, we should add).

Looking to give a gift? Or perhaps you’re looking for your next ‘holy-grail’ pen? writing instruments will not disappoint.

The Volume 192. Let’s call it what it is: the Lennon-McCartney pencil 💜 and it’s even nicer in person than it looks online!

We have limited quantities left & it’s selling FAST 🏃🏻

If you want to buy the pencil solely for its good looks (and that’s really okay) then hit the link in bio or tap the picture (pencils are tagged). If you want to know a little more about the greats behind this limited volume, continue reading 👇🏻

So, where’d the pencil get its name? Well, between Lennon and McCartney, they wrote an estimated 192 songs together & so it’s only fitting that this edition should be the Vol.192 ✌🏻

As for the prism style design, well aside from looking pretty nice is also depicts the convergence of two powerful creative forces, namely Lennon & McCartney.

Each pencil is foil stamped with a different Lennon-McCartney lyric for a total of twelve lyrics. We love this thoughtful detail and it just adds to the overall niceness of the set 🎵

Attaché - Hightide’s pocket sized pen measuring a dinky 10.3cm long.

It's a gorgeous little thing to look at, and even nicer to write with. The body is made using acrylic and has this lovely marbled effect, which means no two pens are really the same in terms of the marbling on the body. When the acrylic catches the light, the colours pop and almost take on a life of their own - the swirls, the vibrancy and the gold accents against the body really make it stand out.

Go check them out in our stories (and highlights) 👆🏻and for limited time, they’re on offer online and in-store 🖤

It’s here! The NEW Volume 7 pencil. If you ever grew up watching Looney Tunes or watched anything with Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Tom & Jerry or The Road Runner (aka Wile E. Coyote) to name a few, then Chuck Jones was *the* guy who drew them and brought these characters to life!

The volume 7 pencil is a tribute to Chuck Jones and his timeless animations. Each pencil has a different design and when stacked side by side and viewed through the included viewfinder, the pencils combine to become a seven frame ‘picket fence animation’ of Chuck Jones’ iconic Wile E. Coyote 😅 want to see this in action? Check out our stories for a little video! 👆🏻

So, what’s the pencil like then? Well, this edition has a red body, a black ferrule, gold clip, orange eraser, and balanced / medium graphite.

Go on, grab a set, perhaps for you or even for the artist in your life. Christmas is right around the corner after all 🎄
