A little mouse is currently scampering along the Snowhome shelves, but don’t worry, it’s the Field Mouse from Tom’s Studio, a new compact, infinitely refillable travel pen.

Inspired by its tiny namesake, at 63mm when capped, this brass beauty is small enough to go anywhere with you, so it can be by your side whenever an idea strikes. The Field Mouse, is lightweight, fits in your pocket or clips to your keys or bag with the solid brass loop lid and is refillable with any standard fountain pen ink. Arguably the best kind of mouse! Pop in to take a closer look.

Tickets are now live to the annual pen-making event from Kaweco that's coming to Snowhome this November. Released in a limited edition colour each year, the DIY Sport pens allow you to make your own Kaweco Sport Fountain pen and we are thrilled to say we’ll be offering you the opportunity to make this year’s Glow (glow in the dark) edition in store from 5th – 25th November.

A ticket will reserve you a pen-making kit to assemble in-store during the event dates (apologies we cannot sell made-up pens, this is an in-store only event). You can even choose your favourite nib size from fine, medium or broad.

If you’ve not yet sipped your morning brew, or you’re in need of another caffeine hit already, pop on down to Snowhome, where you’ll now find a range of Climpson & Son beans and ground coffee.

Based in East London & Sons have been ethically sourcing and roasting coffee since 2002, and have a blend to suit all tastes. From The Baron (flavours of dark chocolate, hazelnut and marzipan) to Broadway Blend (toffee, pecan and raisin) or, if like me, you can’t handle your caffeine, why not try The Decaf (dark chocolate, caramel and orange rind), each is 100% Arabica and is bound to make your day just that little bit better.
