AKA Amusing, Mystifying, Lyrical!

Now that the year is fully underway (you might even say that time is ‘Marching’ on hehe), we thought that it would be a good moment to reflect on how we think, feel and express ourselves on, with and by paper (amongst other prepositions). 

Let us proceed …

Carry (Waxed Paper) Bag |$5.50

A little bit of mystery is good for the soul. Grab bags are such that the ‘grabber’ doesn't know what's in them when grabbing! Ideal for post-party thank you gifts. 

It might not be the 16th Century, but you can definitely feel the Bonbonnières in the air. Say what? 

Bonbonnières are traditional small gifts, or party favours, given to guests at weddings, baptisms, and other special occasions to thank them for attending. Originating in Italy, they often consist of five sugared Jordan almonds in a bag, symbolising health, wealth, happiness, fertility, and longevity.

Derived from the French word bonbonnière (a decorative box for sweets), the tradition was popular among European aristocracy, who gave gifts filled with luxury sugary treats.

And whaddyaknow, this bag with a handle is perfect for such things. Or wrapping a dinner gift or bottle of wine. Simply insert the gift and tie the paper handles with a ribbon. Sweet carry!

Penco Coil Notebooks MEDIUM | $15.95

Ever considered a poetry diary? If not, here’s your invitation. A dedicated notebook for all your rhyming ditties, onomatopoeia, metaphor and personification. Be at one with your words. Let them flow, freestyle, rhyme, linger, haiku: all the good things. 

If Japanese poetry style is what you're going for (and it would be apt, given Penco is from Japan), then you could focus on brevity, nature, and emotional resonance to capture a fleeting moment.

Major forms include the 3-line, 17-syllable haiku (5-7-5), the 5-line tanka (5-7-5-7-7), and collaborative renga, traditionally using kigo (seasonal words) to evoke deep feelings or mono no aware (awareness of impermanence). You’re Welcome!

COVER: Flexible plastic.

PAGE LAYOUT: Ruled (7mm).

160 pages. Spiral binding. Made in Japan.
