Inspired by reading The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning I have decided to redistribute some of my stationery wealth. I have made FIVE mystery boxes to giveaway to FIVE readers (only one box per reader). I cleaned out my stationery cupboard and found so many things that need new homes. So I created five unique boxes to give to you, my lovely readers.
In each box is an assortment of notebooks, stickers, washi tape, non-fountain pens, and an assortment of other goodies. Each box is themed to a certain extent so the right person will get the right box. Some pens were tested for review but have not been used. The notebooks and washi are new. Some stickers are early editions from The Desk.
- Bright: This box has bright colors, playful and cute washi and is looking for a home for someone who wants more color and fun in their life.
- Vintage: This box has more of a retro vibe, with some academia vibes, warm colors and lots of vintage art.
- Traveler’s: If you love the original sized Traveler’s Notebook, this box is filled with some collector items from the Traveler’s Company plus refill notebooks, washi and travel-inspired items.
- Quirky: Like the label, this box is filled with unique, unusual items in terms of color and subject matter.
- Artist: This box has more art and craft items like drawing papers, and has an art supply vibe.

Thank you so much Ana for the giveaway! I would love the Traveler’s mystery box because I love the Traveler’s company. They always inspire me to document my silly little life.
Thank you for the opportunity of a box giveaway. I would like Quirky because it has piqued my interest. Unusual colors and stationery? Awesome!
I would like Artist I think. I would share the contents with my favorite artist to see what sort of magic they work with it.
Your comment about ‘highly-trained staff of monkeys’ about had me choke on my yogurt. LOL.
I’m a VINTAGE girl all the way. I finally got around this week to creating a fully dedicated writing desk. For the past 11 years, writing has shared the same 1880s School Master’s desk I restored and used for watercolor work. NO MORE! I hunted and obtained a 1906 School Master’s desk, and an early singer treadle sewing machine base, refinished both and now have that in a room dedicated to quite and writing, overlooking the open plains of the Nebraska. On the desk, I have my vintage pewter Green man inkwell desk set, my amethyst USNavy fountain pen well, an inspirational miniature photo (A preserved feather from my favorite pet hen), an antique candle holder and snuffer (writing by candle-light is just an amazing experience), a glorious white milk-glass hobnail lamp, and, to hold me to my minimum writing time limit, and blue sands hourglass. Now, wouldn’t a Vintage Box fit perfectly with all of that? Yes, you know it would.
Not that I need more, but I would like the Quirky mystery box, just like me – a quickly mystery person.
Travlers, thank you
Ah Fun! I think Vintage would be awesome! I love getting little things from days gone by. Old Locks and tools from my Great Grandfather. Vintage Silver bullion. Railroad pocket watch. Old glass power line insulators.. it goes on & on. Would love to add to the collection
Ah Fun! I think Vintage would be awesome! I love getting little things from days gone by. Old Locks and tools from my Great Grandfather. Vintage Silver bullion. Railroad pocket watch. Old glass power line insulators.. it goes on & on. Would love to add to the collection
oh wow!!! Love this, I’m crossing my fingers. (: I probably would choose Vintage, though gosh, they all sound amazing! Thank you
I would love the Traveler’s box!
I travel often (mostly for business; have 2 trips coming up in June to Europe) and enjoy collecting a kraft envelope stuffed with the usual ephemera: everything from the ubiquitous receipts (although practically speaking that’s mostly for expense reporting haha) to business cards to stickers to pretty ribbons that some shops use to wrap purchases. I still print out boarding passes at the airport kiosk, too, in part because I’ve had issues with my phone dying unexpectedly so I always want the peace of mind that comes with the printed pass, but also in part because it’s a truly unique souvenir that has my name on it haha.
I’m not the most creative type — I’m a writer, not a visual artist — so my travel journals aren’t especially IG-worthy, but they’re fun to look at years later. I rarely use washi on travel journals, mostly because I don’t bring them with me, but I’m looking to add a bit more dimension to the journeys and would love to experiment with washi, more stickers, even markers.
Thanks for doing this giveaway!
Hmm I’m flipflopping between 3 boxes (bright, quirky, and artist). I love washi (bright) and art supplies (artist), but I’m so curious about QUIRKY!
Not sure what I would do with the contents but I’m pretty sure box would sit somewhere for a while until I find a home for it. I’m still figuring out my notebook & planner system so I’m hoping Quirky will be able to guide me. Or maybe it’ll have something I didn’t know I’d need until I got it.
I would love the Vintage box. I would probably re-use the box to put some of my vintage pens and inks and of course use the content.
More color for me! I like bright colors!
I think the Traveler’s box would be great! I have used one off and on for several years and would like a reason to pick it back up again.
Were I selected, I’d use the vintage box to help me get thorugh my long days that are filled with meetings.
I’m drawn to the quirky option as I’m distinctly aware of my lack of artistic talents that make journaling feel a Herculean task left to the talented ones among us. My journals remain primarily a place where my words sit on the page with a layer of my heart intact to sheen the message, sometimes with tears. But to decorate it? I stick figure at best and wish I had more to show offer, but I’ll try some washi here and there and hope to at least adorn my ramblings with someone else’s artistry.
Vintage- Would love to travel back in time 🙂
Vintage.
The box arrives. I want to enjoy this. I pour myself another cup of tea and sit down in my wingback armchair by the fireplace. I take my victorian letter opener off the side table and slice open the tape on the box. With the box in my lap, I carefully open the lid. Golden light floods out of the box and lights up the room. The box is full of magical things! Even the cat is curious now, and jumps up onto the arm of my chair to help me explore the contents. As I remove the items one by one, I think of how I can use them. This washi tape would be fabulous for dressing up a letter to my penpal in France. This sticker is definitely going on my planner. Oh, be still my heart…a glitter gel pen??? I finish going through the box and realize Christmas has come early. The cat, his curiosity satisfied, has jumped down, and gone back to his cushion and his nap.
Wow such generosity!! I love the different vibes and it’s so hard to pick. I adore Vintage, Travelers Notebook and Quirky! Hmmmm, I would love any of them but if you force me to choose, dang sooo difficult….Quirky. No, Vintage.
What a fun giveaway and a great way to destash. I would enjoy the Artist box. It would be fun to get creative with things someone else has picked out.
I would love to win either the Bright or the Vintage box. Bright pen would make that dreary meeting minutes ‘ writing so much more fun, right? Right?
I would love the Traveler’s box. I want to set up a travel notebook for visiting Michigan to see my grandkids 🙂 We have plans to do a lot of cool things and I’d live to document them all.
Ooh these all sound so fun! Would love to see what’s in quirky or vintage though
I would love the Traveler’s box. I am going to Michigan to see my grandkids and would love to document all we do.
Since I am a vintage person (early Boomer ) the Vintage mystery box is appealing!
How fun! Quirky sounds about right.
Quirky or Artist for me. I’ll use the supplies for a solo-RPG event I’m running at work (a library) in a few months.
The Artist box! I am working towards a new chapter of life as a caricature sketcher for fun so the Artist box sounds like it’d promote my learning 🙂
Traveler’s!! I would love to expand my collection and am constantly finding inspiration from Traveler’s Company. This is such a fun idea
Bright colors would be nice. Thank you!
I’m definitely all of them but the Traveler’s would give me a real smile!!
Hmm…upon further reflection I think the Vintage or Bright boxes would be fun as well. Who doesn’t need more joyful color in their lives and well, I am a nostalgic soul who gets sentimental about days gone by.
What a good idea! I appreciate all the themes, in this order: Vintage, Traveler, Quirky, Bright, Artist. I hope it is ok for me to rank them. Best to you.
I think the Traveler’s bundle would be great! I’ve just picked up my TN again after it sitting in the drawer for a while. Some new stuff would be a fun way to get back into using it again!
Travelers is calling to me as I’m on the road again this week.
Hmm … not sure my comment went through the first time. I recently pulled out my Traveler’s Notebook and am starting to use it again. So the Traveler’s bundle would be a great addition to liven things up!
This is fun!
I would lean towards the bright or the Traveler’s
Thanks for the chance to win
Think I need some vintage stuff as the world needs someone who likes the old stuff. Besides I play with too much modern stuff in the real world.
Thanks to you, I’m now listening to the audiobook myself, but somehow I find myself still wanting the retro set. My journaling habit has fallen off badly, so maybe I could use them to reboot my journal. I do think I’m going to start doing some death cleaning, but I probably won’t be starting with my stationery set. 🙂
My choice is the Vintage Box. While I have lots of modern pens, I also collect vintage ones, particularly Sheaffer. My thought is that whatever is in the Vintage Box would complement my displays of pens and other stationery items. Several of my friends would appreciate receiving notes, cards, and gift adorned with vintage items.
I hope to go somewhere, anywhere this summer, so I think I’d most prefer the Traveler’s box, but really, any mystery box is my cup of tea!
The quirky box sounds great! I love unusual surprises. Depending on what’s in there, I might quirkify my journal, planner, surroundings, cat … okay, maybe not the cat.
After much deliberation, I’ve got to go with the QUIRKY box — that just sounds like too much fun to explore! How could I possible pass it up?
They all sound amazing! But if I had to choose I would say artist. I love to find new ways to use things and collect a variety of items that tell interesting stories and I have a feeling these boxes would be great for that!
This is such a generous and kind giveaway! This is a tough decision but I’m drawn to the Vintage box the most. I’ve always had a love for dark academia and am currently in the middle of turning a room in my house into a dark academia-themed library/music room. I’m also very curious about the Quirky box… I hope that whoever wins it shares what goodies are in it for the curious amongst us!
I would likely choose the Bright box but would be happy with any!
I think I’d make good use of the vintage box in my new office at work!
Thank you so much! I’d love the Artist or Vintage box. Vintage is definitely my vibe, but I’m a sucker for art supply store. I think I actually started painting watercolors just so I could feel like I belonged in art supply stores.
I would pick Vintage (academic vibes for an academic) or Quirky. In either case, I would relish the unboxing, then contemplate how to best integrate the items into my stationery supplies. (If I find there are things I can’t use, I can always give them away at pen club.)
I would like the Artist box. I love art supplies. I used to listen to your “Art Supply “ podcast.
I would definitely go for Quirky, then Vintage, then Travelers. I think quirky would be the best fit, as that is the stuff that I love finding at stores that you don’t necessarily find everywhere, or often anywhere else.
One of my favorite colors is yellow and the Bright box is calling out to me. What a great way it would be to say, Hello Summer!
I would love the bright box! I am a junk journaler and I really like playing with colors and textures. I often supplement my spreads with fun stickers, paper and washi tapes because they’re fun and help me with composition. :))
Is this where I respond? Seriously, Ana, I have a hypersensitivity to anything technical. Ok, ok, I prefer the vintage, as I am, you know, vintage. Thanks for the offer, the mystery, the cleaning. Not the death. My child, aka the Most Precious Object in the Universe, graduated Saturday. Honestly, I am more astonished than proud. My car is dead, so I have to stay at home. More pen-related toys would help immensely.
Bright and Quirky both would work so well with my journal! I love working with deep, bright colors and centering journal spreads around old art and advertisements that I find on Archive.org or through digitized museum collections. It’s a rainbow-hued chaos 🙂
What a fun and exciting giveaway! As a quirky person myself, I’d have to chose the quirky box. Being weird is just a side effect of being awesome
I could see going for Bright, Vintage, or Quirky depending on my mood. It’d be fun to gussy up my notebook a bit, and if the items aren’t for me, I know people who each would work for.
Best wishes for your decluttering process! For me, the biggest obstacles are wanting to find a good home for everything and coping with other household folks who won’t do anything about their clutter in common areas (some of which they’re saving because they want to find a good home for it). It really helps the decluttering process once you realize that a lot of our stuff is destined for the landfill no matter what, and if you can’t find a better way to unload it it’s fine to throw it away. The nice fountain pen that I’m not enamored of, I’m going to try to find someone who wants it; the ink that dried up in the jar can go in the trash.
I would LOVE the Traveler’s box. I use my Traveler’s notebook to document my weekly wanders and whimsy, and I’m obsessed with going out, finding adventures near and far, and savoring them afterward in my TN.
I’d love to end up with the Vintage box. I enjoy using cool stationery and pens with my students to introduce them to a new world of being creative (even as engineers).
What a lovely thing to do. Thank you for the opportunity to win some undoubtedly fun stationery. The Bright box sounds perfect.
I’m about halfway through The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning. Apparently it is not having too much impact since I am commenting to win more stationery stash! All the boxes sound very interesting. I guess my number 1 pick would be Vintage.
Oh wow! How lovely! I am a TN fan so totally would love the Travelers one! Appreciate it!
Even though my home could probably use a death cleaning, I am too intrigued by these mystery boxes to pass up on this giveaway. Any of them would be great but if I had to rank them I would say bright, quirky, arty, vintage, traveler (sounds like my ideal person!)
I’m the quirky one at work, so why not?
I have so much vintage themed stuff, it’s definitely my go to, but I’d love to branch out into bright and quirky. I could use bright, quirky, cheerful things in my life
It’s hard to choose because they all sound awesome, but I’m leaning travelers! What a fun giveaway to give some things a new life.
I’d like #3 because I have Travelers Notebooks, and am looking for reasons to use them more.
Love this. The Vintage is for me. I teach college students and all my classes are analog. No phones or computers to help amplify our attention and presence. This gives me ample time to share with them my love of great stationary and the many ways, analog tools can help with learning.
Vintage or Quirky! I love a good giveaway!
Thank you again for the opportunity to win some stationery swag. I would go for the Vintage Box simply because I’m an old man.
Thank you for offering such a fun giveaway! I’d love to go for the quirky box as I’ll be entering the world of healthcare as a new grad, and would like to bring a little pop of color and fun to our lovely white basement office.
The Travelers box is calling to me. I’ve been loving it as a memory keeper and travel journal for the past 2 years.
I feel like the last scene in the Breakfast Club, where I’m a bit of all five! The part of me that was trained as a geneticist says ‘vintage with the academia vibes, obvs’, while the part of me that delights in being absolutely deadpan as I use kawaii stuff in meetings with C-suiters from giant corporations longs for the bright. My full passport-toting self is curling up to the Traveler’s, and my multicraftual amassing of shtuff is super curious about what’s in the Art-themed mystery box.
But ultimately, quirky. Quirky job that, to steal from the Muppets, requires a Scooter brain and an Animal heart. Oddball interests. Seemingly oppositional fandoms and affinities. My life is ‘I… don’t know how that goes together, but it works?’.
See? A brain, an athlete, a basket case, a princess, and a criminal.
For a Boomer, Vintage would be the best choice, if I am fortunate enough to be selected. Thanks for sharing the wealth and encouraging us all to get rid of STUFF now, rather than later.
Hi, this is Sarah K (@thegirl_with_theplans) from Instagram! This is an awesome giveaway and i LOVE your content! While I’m definitely a vintage girly, I think I’d have to pick the Traveler’s mystery box. I’ve been a dedicated TN girly for years now–it’s been my planner peace. I would use the contents to help create an UNBEATABLE tn setup to rival alllll tn setups! Thanks for hosting such a fun mystery giveaway!!
I love Bright things (orange is my favorite color) but my IG moniker embraces the Quirky part of me (Quirkygirliecreates) that I’m reclaiming in my Vintage years I’m learning all the Art -watercolor, acrylic, collage as I’m saving my pennies to be a world Traveler when hubby retires next year!
Well, as usual, it’s difficult for me to pick just one of anything. I’m interested in the Traveller’s box, but also the Quirky box. If I were to win the traveller’s box, I’d use the notebook inserts as a special side journal to document what’s happening in my life right now: my wife is undergoing major surgery soon, believed to be a recurrence of ovarian cancer that we thought she’d beaten after 12 years since her initial surgery and chemo. I’ll be her caretaker, and we’re both terrified again, as this time around the two tumors seem to possibly be involved in her colon and bladder. They’ll be treating her with the same chemo drugs they did last time, and I want to document the onset of the horrible side effects so if there’s a “next recurrence”, we’ll know without having to guess when to expect these side effects to emerge. Such an awful and deadly cancer.
If I were to win the quirky box, I expect I’ll be using most of it in my journal and letters – the images, anyway.
Thank you for doing this! I need more colors in my life so BRIGHT please.
Bright colors! I’m currently recovering from surgery on my dominant arm (yay… ugh) so a little extra sunshine in my planner/journal would be wonderful!
Would love the quirky box because…sounds like me in a box? Yes. How did I get in there…?
Ooh!! What a fun giveaway. Interesting twist having the themes. For me? I’d probably go for travelers notebook or artist. Why? Because I use the travelers notebook. In fact I just went back to it after dabbling in B6 world. I just love the tall narrow format. The width makes you just that little bit thoughtful of how you do your layout. The artist because I have been trying to expand my art side. I recently got a small set of colored pencils. Maybe the first time I’ve used colored pencils as an adult??? I’m finding it really enjoyable. A little color goes a long way. Anyway… love this. Thanks for hosting it. I love your site and find I reference it a lot, so thanks for that too!
Wow, I would love any of the boxes – great idea! I love to collect vintage fountain pens, ink bottles, vintage pen accessories so I would have to say the vintage box would be cool. Thanks for doing this giveaway!
This sounds awesome- I’m leaning toward the vintage box. I’ve sort of been unmotivated to work in my journal and maybe something in this collection would help me get back into the routine of using my journal on a more daily basis. Thank you for the giveaway!
The travelers mystery box speaks to my traveling soul of “have suitcase will travel”.. since getting into fountain pens and stationary it’s now “have suitcase will travel with ink and pens”…. Thanks for the lovely giveaway contest!
Hello Ana
I think I would probably like the vintage mystery box. Perhaps it would add a touch of sacred, ancient flair to my grimoire. I might also like the quirky box, just to jazz up my planner and journal a bit. Thanks for doing this giveaway!
Hi! This is so fun! I would love the Traveller’s themed mystery box. I just gifted the anniversary card-sized sets to each of my two college-aged sons, and they are hooked! It would be great to share some additional bits and bobs with them. Thanks!
Thanks for the giveaway opportunity. I think I’d like bright because it has been an all day gray and rainy day today. Springtime in Montana. Probably sunny tomorrow. … or snow …. 😉
I think the Vintage box would be really cool, as I would use that to enhance the Pen Pal letters I send regularly. But I am learning watercolor so the art box would work also. Thanks for the chance!
I like to junk journal by themes. I’ve created some curated envelopes that are more on-the-go-friendly, in themes like ‘purple,’ ‘blue,’ ‘green,’ ‘travel,’ ‘vintage,’ and ‘space.’ So I’d be thrilled with Bright, Vintage, or Travelers! I’d definitely use the items in my junk journal, but also my planner, and my penpal letters.
I would love any single one of them, but the bright one feels like the one I could use the most at this point in life. I just lost my fur baby who was over 20 years old and since then, I feel like I have been trying to find the little joys significantly more in life than I had before whether that be through journaling, taking the time to watch the sunset, or just more intentionally living on a day-to-day basis.
I would love the Traveler’s box! I have been trying to get out and touch more grass this year – although it can be difficult sometimes with no car, freak heatwave weather, and schoolwork piling up. That said, I have been going both to faraway places with friends and to local parks and gardens to spend some time by nature. I’d take a notebook with me to spend some time reflecting and enjoying writing and decoration in a quiet, peaceful environment, and on trips with friends so that I can record the memories and look back years later, or even just months later when life gets busy and hard and I want to remember something joyful.
Bright or quirky just because that fits my personality best. I am a stationery junkie and this would just make my week!
Anna, this is such a creative and thoughtful giveaway- thank you for the opportunity!! ❤️ I’m making traveler’s notebooks for my brother and sister in law, so the Traveler’s bundle would be my choice.
Quirky Is my pick. I keep journals with odds and ends and this would be fun to use. Thanks for offering this giveaway.
Quirky Is my pick. I do lots of junk journaling and this would check off the boxes. Thanks for offering this giveaway.
Hi underpaid monkeys. I would love the traveler box since I have been full time traveling for 3.5 years. I recently discovered the glorious world of journaling and enjoying being lost in the rabbit hole of pens and paper. I bought a couple of your products yesterday at Dime Novel Raven Stationery in Duluth, Mi. I love to support small local businesses in areas we travel through and appreciate all their hard work and love for what they do.
Travelers is my pick please. Always on the road!
Thanks for doing this! It’s a bit hard to choose, but I would say the Travelers would be my pick, though they all sound great. Thanks again!
Thank you for such a fun giveaway. If I win, i’d pick the Bright mystery pack. As for why that one, well I’ll paraphrase a recent IG post I saw: I am NOT too old for bright and sparkly things…there is no expiration date on joy.
Vintage would be my choice, I could use some warm academia right now.
They all sound amazing and fun. I’d pick quirky, because I’m always looking for something unique.
What a nice idea!! That takes a lot of work to theme them like that and arrange each one <3. The Travelers box caught my attention the most, but they all sound very fun. Thanks for running a lovely giveaway.
Travelers for sure! I am a paramedic and I always carry a notebook for important information:
Definitely the vintage! Academic vibes for academic spaces and all. Some of it might get gifted out to students who show an interest. I’m thisclose to keeping a supply of inexpensive or disposable FPs for students who show some interest, so diversifying those offerings wouldn’t be a bad idea (after I make sure some of the items stay firmly in my grasp…)
Oooh I’m always looking for some statement colors to splash out, would love to see what you’ve put together in the Bright box!
I am a pretty bright person – love lots of color, always! Because of that, people would probably also call me quirky – so either word would work for me!
The quirky box would be my pick. Each room in my house needs a little quirkiness in its life. Jazz up the place, right?!
They ALL sound great! But if I had to choose just one, it would be the Travelers box. I love my travelers notebook and I would use the contents in my summer travel journals. The Quirky box also sounds like fun and I would share it with my kid.
Travelers box would be wonderful. Working through all my belongings to keep only what I use and those I find precious. Then TRAVEL!
Oh, what a fun giveaway. I’m in the midst of a major life change so Bright or Quirky sound amazing.
Quirky!
What a cool idea! Bright sounds very much my style
This is tough! Vintage speaks to me because I love retro stuff, being somewhat retro myself, but also because you mention academic vibes and i am a life long learner and auditor of college classes nearby. On the other hand, Travelers is appealing as I have 3 wonderful extended trips ahead of me in 2026, to the Maritimes; Butte, Montana; and Scotland. But ultimately I opt for Quirky because my style is boho and original in a quirky way.
I would love to be surprised. It’s always such an additional fun mystery that way. Thank you so much for the chance and I hope you have a wonderful day!
All the boxes sound great, but I think the bright box is calling my name. I’m having a lot of fun finding new ways to include color and washi tape to all of my notebooks.
I’d like the Vintage box, please. I’m an old soul, often feeling like I was born a century too late, so that vintage vibe would be just right for me.
I’d like the Vintage box, please and thank you. I’m an old soul, and often think I was born a century too late.
I’d love the Bright box. I’m a breast cancer survivor struggling with my mental health after finishing treatment and I need lots of color in my life. Journaling has helped me a lot through this process.
Oooh, this is a tough choice. I LOVE color, but I’m also quirky. AND I’m trying to start up a traveler’s notebook for future vacation planning. Decisions, decisions. I’d honestly be happy with any of those three. Is that cheating?
I was decorating my new (used) laptop with stickers and realized I needed something with a vintage vibe to balance out the modern snarky ones, so Vintage is my choice.
I know you’re not made of money but your international fans never get to join in the giveaway fun….. Vintage, Traveler’s or Quirky would all have been great…. Still, it’s great to hear you’re sending stuff on to good homes and I know it’ll be a thrill to whoever gets these. Best wishes.
The shipping and tariffs now make it unreasonable to ship gift boxes out of country. I wish I could!
What a fantastic giveaway! My family and I are headed to Korea in the fall and I can definitely use more notebooks to document our trip; the Traveles Box would be well used by us! Thank you.
I’m not really a Quirky person, so I’ll be daring and give that one a try! Thanks for the giveaway! How fun!
Mystery box fever strikes the well appointed desk. Thank you for doing this. I’m pretty vintage so the vintage one would be cool.
I would definitely be up for the Quirky… in my journal lately I’ve been writing out a lot of scenes from John Waters movies…
Hi Ana! My favorite mystery box would be the Traveler’s. I actually made my own leather traveler’s cover and this box would be a great addition to add to it. Thank you!!
TRAVELER’S… I have suddenly become interested in the small traveler’s size notebooks that I can also use as a wallet. I like it that the books are smaller in size and you can use stickers and charms with the elastics to have fun and personalize it. I need something that I can carry and take notes with especially at medical appointments.
What a cool idea! The travelers box sounds right up my alley!
What a cool idea! The travelers box is right up my alley!
Bright and quirky sound fun! Over the years my journaling has evolved to a simple form of art journaling – writing a longform journal entry, sketching any interesting foods or objects I encountered, and collaging in any receipts or ephemera. I’d love to add more color into it hah
What a fun giveaway! I would love the chance to win the Travelers’s Notebook surprise box. I love my traveler’s notebook and am hoping to do some traveling over the summer! Thanks for the opportunity!
This is so generous, thank you! I’ve also been inspired to put a hold on the book from my library. I’ve also started to look at my stuff more critically, as well as my tendency to buy one to use and one to keep, because I was hoarding sticker sheets I only had one of. But I had to keep reminding myself that they are just things, things that are meant to be used, and things that will give me more joy in seeing them used than the stress of having to find more storage for them.
The one that appeals to me the most is Bright, as I just love filling my journal with bright colors. I do a sort of version of what you do and try to pick a theme and color scheme every month and pre-decorate my pages so that they are ready for journaling, so that’s what this would be used for. (As an aside, I want you to know that I very much enjoy the planner setup videos. I know they must take a lot of time for not a lot of payoff, but I really enjoy seeing your pen swatches and the pages are always interesting to look at.)
I’d probably pick quirky or travelers. The Swedish art of death cleaning changed my perspective on many things. Good luck to everyone, and I hope we can see what’s inside each parcel, even if we don’t win. Signed, a public librarian who can’t enjoy plain pens and paper.
Ooh sounds like fun! The travelers box sounds amazing. Thank you for sharing!
Wow! I am drawn to the bright selection. I would love more cheer and color in my life and journal! Thanks.
Thank you for a cool and interesting GAW.
I am a Travelers person.
I’d love the vintage box. I’m feeling rather vintage myself these days.
Congrats on the declutter! It is definitely a process and an accomplishment! I think – nay – I know I would like the Quirky if I was lucky enough to win because I am the quirky one in my life! I would definitely use the contents in one of my planners or notebooks I – or lately I have been trying to use up my stickers in scrapbook spreads which is totally new to me! Thanks for the giveaway and this blog!
I would like the Artist box, as I’m constantly looking for more ways to activate the latent talents that I just know (hope!) I had to have inherited from my father.
Thanks for the offer!
Please consider me for the vintage box—which will motivate me to repair the vintage Sheaffer vac-filler FP that is sitting on my desk, waiting for me to tackle the repair. When it is done, I’ll use it all with the vintage onionskin paper I just ordered!
Thanks for the offer!

I would like the vintage box. Approaching the category of vintage myself, as a man of dignity I could put this box to very good use. My grocery list, for example, would benefit from the kind of elevated tone that the contents of a vintage box could provide.
Hello I would like the bright box. In the early morning, I like to do journaling or collage or make postcards. I use coloring book pages As background and then layer on top of it with collage. So a collection of bright would be just perfect. Thank you.
This is so fun. Thank you for sharing your goodies. I’d love the traveler’s collection.

You are amazing and I love the blog. I love that you have decided to do this and it inspires me to do something like it with my friends. I would be happy to get any happy mail. But I love travelers notebooks and complete surprises.
Vintage! Warm colors and vintage art is totally something I’d love to explore more of.
Quirky or Bright – I would be over the moon. But all the others are highly pleasing.
Ooo how fun! I’m thinking bright or vintage. How can one choose just one— they all sound cool. I haven’t tried a travelers so that could be a fun experiment. And who doesn’t love some happy snail mail! Wishing caffeine and cookies and nap breaks for the monkeys 🙂
I would like the quirky! You are generous!!
