We love stationery: Smiggle

I may have mentioned Smiggle a few times on this blog already but if you are a stationery lover, Smiggle is a place that will definitely catch your eye with their bright colours, innovative ideas and ranges that co-ordinate perfectly.  I can’t pass a Smiggle shop without going in and my children always love a visit and come out with something new. There are new Smiggle shops popping up all over the UK but if you can’t find a shop near to you, don’t panic as you can shop online.

Smiggle sent us a few of their new picks for this season and as always they were received with squeals of delight (and that was just from me). My favourite are the Colour Change Markers.

Housed cleverly in a small plastic box that would easily fit into a school bag or desk, there are twelve markers; 10 colours and two white.  You can create some amazing effects with these by using the white over the top of the colours to change it to the colour shown on the lid of the colour marker.  We will have hours of fun with these and A and I are already planning to make some interesting Christmas cards with them in a few weeks time.

The Ultimate Smiggle Travel Activity Suitcase is a hard backed folder with everything a budding traveller needs to document their adventures.  With  3 sections to write down your plans, 1 activity book, 2 luggage tags, 1 sticker sheet, 1 postcard, 3 mini gel pens, 2 mini HB pencils, 1 eraser, 1 sharpener, 1 clear pouch, 1 souvenir pocket there is plenty to keep young travellers happy for hours. We can’t wait for our next trip to get to work.

The Hamburger Jotter is a pad with a difference and ‘so cool’ according to my burger loving son.  Shaped exactly like a burger, complete with cheese and salad and a big bite, this 250 page tear off jotter will brighten up your desk and looks good enough to eat.

Smiggle have an amazing range of scented stationery which add a sensory level to writing and colouring.  My daughter is a huge fan of their scented erasers and the very cute Cookie Eraser Mini Pack contains four perfect little milk and cookie erasers which look and smell gorgeous.  The Scented Colouring Pencils will make your pencil case smell fantastic with scents such as strawberry, pineapple, vanilla and cola and the Green Apple Scented Pencils contain four rubber tipped pencils with a wonderful apple scent.  These come in four varieties; Strawberry (pink), Cookie (blue), Grape (purple), Chocolate (green) & Cola (black).

So whether you are still on the lookout for back to school stationery or thinking ahead to stocking fillers, Smiggle is the place to go for cool and clever ideas and there is something for everyone.
