The Midori MD Five-Year Diary layout

Thursday Drops: Midori 70th Anniversary Three and Five-Year Diaries, and a Few More Sunderland MK1 Pens!

May 5, 2022

My final shipment of Midori 70th Anniversary products arrived this week, with a limited quantity of the three and five-year diaries in a special recycled green leather cover. If you’re unfamiliar with these hardbound journals/diaries, they contain 366 pages of MD Paper, one for each day, divided into either three or five slots, so that when you make your daily entry you can review the prior year(s) on that same page. I’ve kept these types of journals in the past and it can be fascinating, especially once you get 2-3 years in.

We also have a small number of Sunderland mk1 pens available for purchase, and unfortunately these may be the last pens available for quite some time. Sunderland is a bit backlogged on their machining, and as many of you have noticed they are completely sold out of standard pens on their website. If you’d like to learn more about this pen and what went into designing it, check out this post, as well as my review of the pen in general.

We’ve recently received restocks on Traveler’s Company, Midori, Caran d’Ache, Write Notepads and most of the other brands we carry. The T.G.S. Curated Shop is an authorized retailer of all brands stocked.

  1. Midori 70th Anniversary Three and Five-Year Journals. These leather-bound diaries feature a recycled green leather cover, specially released for Midori’s 70th Anniversary, and come available in three and five-year formats. The three-year version is extremely limited.

  2. T.G.S. x. Sunderland mk1 Rollerball Pen. Our second exclusive product collaboration features a matte black/matte burgundy finish, and accepts the Pilot G2 or Montblanc rollerball/fineliner refill. As I noted above, this will likely be the last chance to pick one of these up for a while.

  3. Traveler’s Notebook Starter Kits, Refills, and Accessories. Many of the standard refills and accessories have been on backorder, but we’re now fully restocked on standard MD paper refills, undated diaries, and accessories like cases, folders, and even the popular brass ruler.

  4. Caran D’Ache Claim Your Style Series 3. Last year’s “Claim Your Style” 849 ballpoint pen was my favorite of the three series, especially the “Night Blue” and “Moss Green”, though they all look great. I truly enjoy the more muted colors, as opposed to the bright-and-shiny pens that have become popular in recent years.

  5. TWSBI ECO Jade Fountain Pen. I’ve heard murmurings that the TWSBI ECO Jade is going away, and that it’s a true special edition. We have pens available in a few nib sizes.
