Traveler's Company Summer Sale Promotion

Thursday Drops: Memorial Day Weekend Sale Details and Yes, Another Giveaway!

May 23, 2024

Memorial Day Weekend here in the U.S. is here, as is the end of school (at least for our household) and the beginning of Summer. So let’s kick off the season with a sale and a giveaway! Now is a great time to kit out a new notebook for your travels or your adventures closer to home, and we’re happy to help you out with that. We are newly stocked on most Traveler’s Company refills, Midori A5 notebooks, Laconic A5 inserts, Tomoe River refills, and more!

For now through Monday at 11:59pm CT, take 10% off your order using the code “SUMMERSALE” at checkout! The code will apply to many different brands in our shop, though some (including TWSBI, Roterfaden, Pilot) are excluded due to manufacturers restrictions. In addition to the discount code, all orders over $75 automatically ship free with USPS.

Clockwise from top: Scriveiner Fountain Pen; Blackwing pencils (not necessarily representative of the prize pack), and a Lamy AL-Star Rollerball!

We’re also running another giveaway through the weekend: I’m in the process of clearing the T.G.S. HQ out a bit in preparation for a potential move, and there’s no reason the readership shouldn’t benefit! We have three prizes for this week’s giveaway: (1) a Lamy AL-Star Rollerball in the new “Fiery” finish; (2) an assortment of a dozen Blackwing Pencils, some standard, some limited Volumes from my personal back catalogue; and (3) another Scriveiner Fountain Pen that I can pass along now that I have my review of this brand in the pipeline. All you need to do to enter the giveaway is either leave a comment on this blog post or like the accompanying Instagram post featuring the giveaway. I will number all comments and likes and pick three winners using a random number generator.

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

  1. Traveler’s Notebook Starter Kits and Accessories. Gearing up for your travels? We have Traveler’s Company notebooks and accessories in-stock, including ONE remaining Tokyo Special Edition Traveler’s Notebook that apparently ended up mixed in with our standard stock. A full restock on these editions is still some time away, so at least one lucky customer will be able to take one home! Any remaining 2024 dated refills are now 40% off.

  2. Roterfaden Taschenbegleiter Covers. While we can’t discount Roterfaden, this is still an excellent opportunity to stock up on A6, A5, and A4 notebook refills compatible with this series of organizers.

  3. Lochby Field Journal and Related Gear. In the A5 size, we have Lochby notebook covers designed to fit the Lochby Tomoe River 68gsm notebooks, as well as the Lochby Tool Rolls and Quattro pen cases to hold all of your goods!

  4. Midori MD Notebook Covers. Whether you want leather, sturdy Japanese paper, or standard plastic covers, Midori’s notebook covers are sturdy and functional, and designed to fit the excellent standard MD Notebooks.

  5. Patalino Cases by Raymay. I love these flat-pack cases, which are perfect for pens, pencils, scissors, and more. I tend to move between bags during the week, and modular cases like these allow me to pack my stationery kit at the beginning of the week and simply move it from one bag to the other without much “repacking” involved. The front flap folds down magnetically, and includes a slot for a large eraser, mechanical pencil lead refills, etc.

  6. Traveler’s Company Tokyo Special Edition Brass Pencil. We bought a lot of these and still have a few in stock. I love the finish on them, and the orange eraser is outstanding.

  7. Craighill Caro Pen. I can’t praise the Craighill Caro Pen enough, as it’s been my constant companion since January. It’s a small pen that takes a D1 refill and attaches to it’s “dock” via a secure garter spring clip mechanism. Available in multiple finishes and perfect for attaching to a bag or keychain. You can read more on this pen here.

  8. Tom’s Studio Lumos Mini Refillable Fineliner. The Lumos “Mini” has become my pen of choice to carry in my Plotter Mini 5, as it slips into the pen slot on the Plotter quite well. The standard Lumos pens also make excellent planner pens. We’ve recently added the entire line of Tom’s Studio fountain pen inks to the shop - you can check out my overview of all the colors here, as well as my notes on a few favorites.

  9. Anterique Brass “Mach Ball” Ballpoint. An excellent low-viscosity ballpoint pen that can go anywhere with you - including in your planner pen loop!

  10. Laban “Greek Mythology” Inks. Some of my favorite colors to have been released during the past several years are included in this ink line, including the unique “Aphrodite Pink”! Laban has new distribution so it’s easier to keep these in stock.

Inventory Reduction Summer Sale, Plus a Lochby Restock!

June 30, 2022

I mentioned briefly on Tuesday’s post that I need to clear out some old inventory in order to make room for some other projects I’m working on, including possibly bringing back the T.G.S. Special Edition Penwell and another run of Sunderland mk1 pens! Today’s post has all the details.

To start, take 10% off your entire order using the coupon code “SUMMER”, subject to the exclusions set forth below. This discount will be in addition to any clearance markdowns, and all orders over $75 still ship free.

Items with Clearance Pricing

The following items are on clearance, meaning that they likely won’t return to the store once they’re sold. That’s not because they aren’t great products - they are - it’s just that a variety of factors go into deciding whether to stock something. This includes the cost of obtaining it, the speed at which the inventory moves, the space necessary to store it, the cost of having it shipped to me, and the cost/time involved in packing/shipping the product and getting it to you. 10% discount applies on top of clearance pricing.

  1. Caran d’Ache 849 Fountain Pens.

  2. Caran d’Ache Ecridor Racing Ballpoints and Pencils.

  3. Remaining Dated Planners (Traveler’s Company) and Planner Stickers (Midori). Marked down to 50% off.

  4. Hightide 5-minute and 3-minute Sandglasses.

  5. WMS & Co. Rubber Stamps (including some “cheeky” ones that remain).

Last call for Caran d’Ache x Nespresso Edition No. 4!

Discontinued Items

Certain items, including limited editions are set to be discontinued or already have been discontinued by the manufacturer. Depending on demand and stock, some have been marked down to “clearance” pricing, some have not, but these are all eligible for 10% off + the free shipping threshold.

  1. Soumkine Notebooks. Sadly, it doesn’t look like Soumkine is going to continue making their fabulous hardcover planners. Once these are gone, they’re gone. I’ve marked down remaining colors on clearance.

  2. Caran d’Ache x Nespresso Edition 4 Pencils. Caran d’Ache just issued a “last call” notice for retail stock, indicating that these are about to go away. I’ve marked down my remaining stock slightly.

  3. Caran d’Ache “Claim Your Style” Ballpoints Edition No. 3. I only have a handful remaining from last year’s run, and I have yet to decide whether I bring in the next season (not do I know when they’ll be available). Remaining stock has been marked down.

  4. Kokuyo PERPANEP Notebooks. I’ve heard that these notebooks will be discontinued, but haven’t had confirmation. The paper is very, very good, and remaining stock is marked down.

  5. Caran d’Ache Infinite 888 Ballpoint Pens and .7mm Mechanical Pencils. The pencils have been discontinued, so what’s left is absolutely it, but I likely won’t bring the pens back either once this batch is gone because I enjoyed selling them as a set.

  6. Midori MD 70th Anniversary Fountain Pens and Ink Sets. I have a few of these left in stock, in blue and orange. Once they’re gone, they’re gone.

  7. Midori MD 70th Anniversary MD Notebook Light Special Set. I only have a couple of these remaining in stock. Like the fountain pen sets, they’re special editions and I won’t pick up another run.

All Lochby cases are back in stock!

Exclusions

The only brands excluded from the 10% off sale are TWSBI and Lochby. Lochby has also been restocked, with Field Journals, Quattro Four-Pen Cases, Pocket Journals, Tool Rolls, and all the Tomoe River 68gsm notebooks currently available for purchase!

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