Thursday Drops: Midori MD Notebook Light in New Sizes, Life Airmail Envelopes, and Highlighters

April 27, 2023

More drops from Midori this week! We received a shipment of the A4 MD Notebook Light in the largest size Midori has to offer, as well as the pocket-sized A7. We also received a box of the MD “Memo Block” notepads, which are 4 x 4” desktop memo pads featuring 500 sheets of Midori MD Paper, and closed out a couple of backorders, finally receiving the matching envelopes for the Life Airmail and Letter writing pads.

We still have plenty of the Lamy Cursive nibs, and as I noted yesterday, I’m happy to install one of these on any compatible Lamy fountain pen if the two items are purchased together. Just send me a message through the “Contact” link above. Happy shopping!

The Gentleman Stationer is an authorized retailer of all brands sold.

  1. Midori MD Notebook Light (A4). The standard MD Notebook in A4 has been a popular seller for us, and while the thick version is backordered, we just received a shipment of the MD Notebook Light in this larger size. Sold in packs of three, this one comes in blank, lined, or grid. You can fit two of these notebooks into the corresponding Midori MD Notebook Covers.

  2. Midori MD Notebook Light (A7). On the opposite end of the size spectrum, these tiny A7 pocket notebooks are perfect for writing on the go. Also sold in packs of three, in all of the various Midori MD rulings.

  3. Midori MD Light 70th Anniversary Color Grid Notebook Set. Released last year for Midori’s 70th Anniversary, this set of seven A5 notebooks features seven different grid colors with matching thread on the binding. Super fun!

  4. Midori MD Memo Block Notepads. These chunky 4 x 4” notepads feature a whopping 500 sheets of fountain pen friendly Midori MD paper, in grid, blank, or lined rulings. Fountain pen friendly memo pads in this format are fairly rare. If you’re looking for sticky notes, we’ve also got those!

  5. Life Airmail Envelopes. A few week ago we announced that we had received a shipment of the EXTREMELY thin, yet still fountain pen friendly, vintage-style airmail paper. Well, now we have those cool retro red and blue airmail envelopes to finish out the set!

  6. Life Letter-Writing Envelopes. If Airmail paper isn’t your thing, we also have the standard Life letter envelopes to match the standard writing set.

  7. Kokuyo Dual-Tone Highlighter Marker Sets. Now available in sets of five colors, these dual-tone markers allow you to highlight text in varying tones of the same color for emphasis, etc. Each marker has a double-sided tip with a different ink reservoir.

  8. Mnemosyne A4 Notepad Holder. These excellent A4 padfolios are leather-free, yet still remain supple without any of that irritating chemical smell so common with synthetic leather. Each padfolio ships with one pad of A4 Mnemosyne paper.

  9. Mnemosyne A7 Notepad Holder. Looking for a pocket padfolio to hold your A7 notepad, as well as a pocket pen?

  10. Caran d’Ache Chromatics Ink. Now available in bottles and cartridges! Caran d’Ache offers a selection of eleven gorgeous colors, some of which are quite unique.

  11. Lamy Pico Pocket Ballpoints. Speaking of pocket pens, if you haven’t tried one of these, do so. The extendable design takes this pen from a small palm-sized capsule to a full-size ballpoint pen in seconds.
