Thursday Drops: Caran d'Ache 888 Infinite Pens, Pilot Fountain Pens, and a 2025 Planner Discount!

January 16, 2025

How about a planner promotion now that we’re a couple of weeks into 2025? All dated planners are 10% off using the discount code “25PLANNER” at checkout, including whatever remains of our current stock of dated Traveler’s Company diaries. We also have two new (to us) Pilot Vanishing Point finishes, in blue and black “Carbonesque” barrels, to add to our growing selection of Pilot writing instruments. Finally, we have a restock of select desk and reading accessories, including bookmarks and page markers, and annotation favorites such as the Caran d’Ache highlighter pencils and Infinite 888 Ballpoint Pens.

Our brick and mortar shop is open again this week for regular hours Thursday through Saturday, and otherwise by appointment. For directions and specific hours keep an eye on this page, which will also reflect any changes each week due to inclement weather, travel, etc.

  1. Pilot Vanishing Point Fountain Pen (Carbonesque Finish). Possibly my overall favorite finish of the Pilot Vanishing Point, as I’ve chosen the blue for my own personal VP. The black looks excellent as well.

  2. Caran d’Ache Infinite 888 Ballpoint. This inexpensive (sub-$10) refillable ballpoint is a gem, and one of our best sellers from the past five years. The Swissride refill is also back in stock.

  3. Traveler’s Notebook 2025 Dated Planner Refills. We still have a handful of certain Standard and Passport refills. Use “25PLANNER” at checkout to snag an additional 10% off your 2025 Planner setup!

  4. Pilot Custom 823 Fountain Pens. All colors are now available, including the new clear! The Custom 823 is one of my favorite high-ink-capacity workhorse pens on the market. Check out our “Workhorse Pens” write-up to read more about why we love it so much.

  5. Pilot E95s Fountain Pen. One of the most accessible gold-nib Japanese pens on the market, the compact and portable E95s comes in two different finishes and three different nib sizes ranging from EF to Medium.

  6. Craighill “Perch” Metal Bookmarks. I didn’t make nearly as much progress as I would have liked on my reading in 2024, but I’m already ahead of the game for 2025. To that end I’ve been diving into my collection of nice bookmarks, which I use not only in books I’m reading but journals and notebooks as well.

  7. Book Darts. We’ve got a full stock of made-in-the-USA Book Darts, the archivally safe page markers that you can use to annotate books and notebooks. (I like to use them as dividers to create my own multi-subject notebooks.)

  8. Caran d’Ache Highlighter Pencils. Available as a set of four, and now individually, these jumbo highlighter pencils are excellent annotation tools, especially for books with thinner papers where liquid ink highlighters bleed through.

  9. HMM Eraser Balls. They’re back in all colors! These desktop oddities are fully functional erasers that double as pencil holders, picture holders, fidget toys, and more. HMM is a design-focused stationery brand out of Taiwan that makes pens, pencils, and various desk and reading accessories.

  10. HMM “Mugr” and “Drippr” Coffee Accessories. Hey, even if you don’t want to use the mugs for actual coffee, they look great as a pen or pencil cup, but if you’re a coffee enthusiast the combination of lacquer and wood is gorgeous to look at every morning.

The Swiss Cross Infinite 888 (which still has the mechanical pencil available!)
