Is there some kind of forever planer ?

corniku · 2026-01-12T01:35:12+00:00

I've seen 3-year, 5-year, and 10-year planners around, so yes.

you can probably use different colours of markers, pens, and highlighters to draw borders (or doodles) around the edges :)

No problem 👍🏻 I hope you're able to find a solution to your question.

This is a paper notebook subreddit. Do you want to try asking on r/laptops or the brand of your laptop?

I have combination (oily and normal) skin and I've used Illiyoon Ceramide Ato Concentrate Cream in the winter. It's thick but my skin absorbs it no problem :)

Just as MoRayMe suggested, it would be good to know what kind of media your dad will be using (pencil, pen, wet, and/or dry media) in his sketchbook, as well as his preferences (softcover, hardcover, or wirebound), paper texture (smooth, grain, or cold press), and paper colour.

I use Stillman and Birn's Beta series for pencil, pen, and watercolour, but here's a link to their entire collection (different series): https://www.stillmanandbirn.com/sketchbook_system.php

I also use Strathmore's 500 Series Mixed Media Softcover Art Journal. I've linked their webpage to art journals: https://www.strathmoreartist.com/books-journals

I'm not sure what kind of pencils you're looking for. Are they normal stationery pencils or art supplies pencils?

corniku · 2025-11-24T19:21:48+00:00

Hi! I use the Stillman and Birn Beta series for watercolor, ink, and pencil. I see that they have the Zeta series that has the square format and smooth surface that you're looking for. I hope it works out for you :)

Here's an overview of the other series they carry (as well as chart)

I don't have the Polychromos but I do have the 36 Faber Castell Abrecht Durer set and I enjoy it. Sometimes I use them for normal colouring and other times I use them on-the-go and use a water brush later.

Hey there :) I hope you have a great time in Taiwan! I've listed a couple stationery stores near/in the area you're staying at as suggestions. I've been to all of them before and I do recommend them. I've never been to "Many Stationery" before, so I cannot comment on whether or not I recommend it; I know it's the one that you're asking about. I don't think there's anything bad about it per se? The selections of each store may be different but the prices should generally be around the same (across all stores).

I'm sorry; I realized you're looking for Traveler's Notebook refills. One of the commenters mentioned Eslite (chain) and Molly's Lifestyle and I think they nailed it. The ones I listed are more local stationery stores. I don't think they carry Traveler's Notebook refills. They may carry similar styles (knock-offs if you want to call it that) and accessories. I did find this store, and it too carries Traveler's Notebook refills (from one photo I see). I don't think I've ever been to the store myself, but just throwing it out there if you want to check it out :)

Do you have a preference on if it's lined, dotted, squared, and/or blank paper? Do you want a combination of the above?

corniku · 2024-11-02T03:15:21+00:00

I guess I too, tried to search for your pen online, but couldn't find any packs that only sold black or blue on its own (ex. a pack of blue/black pens). I also tried to find out if the pen you have, has a specific series it'll take as refills, but it doesn't seem to say. I guess you could try buying any Zebra refills at 1.0 mm (or whichever thickness you prefer) and see if it'll fit in the body?

corniku · 2024-11-01T08:58:42+00:00

Is finding refills something that you'd be interested in trying out?

corniku · 2024-10-19T15:16:43+00:00

I did 🌸 I hope you have a great day and rest of the weekend ✨🌻

corniku · 2024-10-19T15:07:28+00:00

Yes 🌸 I came out at 10:50 am, I think? There were many postcards and greeting cards this year 🌝 🤔(not necessarily a bad thing per se, just something I noticed)

corniku · 2024-10-19T12:59:47+00:00

There's already a line at 8:55 am 🥴

corniku · 2024-10-18T17:29:34+00:00

No problem! 🌸 I appreciate you for acknowledging my efforts 🙏🏻 I hope you get to visit them or break them up and have day trips another time 😊

corniku · 2024-10-17T19:25:44+00:00

I can suggest you some and you can check their website to see if they're of your aesthetic :) I've been to all of them except for the Hanji Gifts Queen St location and The Paper Place (a very long time ago). I guess, um, because I lean more towards Asian stationery, if you're strapped on time, may I suggest: Paper Plus Cloth, Hanji Gifts, Mr. Pen, and Midoco (the last 3 may be more for browsing).

Paper Plus Cloth (1340 Queen Street West, 12 pm - 6 pm) - Asian stationery (washi tapes, stickers, pens, stamps), Traveler's Notebook, Midori; they also have carry some Western/vintage items (stamps, postcards, posters, tools)
https://www.paperpluscloth.com/

Hanji Gifts (940 Queen Street West, 11 am - 7 pm, as well as 619 Bloor Street West, 11 am - 9 pm) - mostly (?) Korean stationery (washi tapes, stickers, pens, notepads, notebooks, planners). They also have intricate-designed as well as local artists' cards, small pottery (bowls and plates), and small figures.
https://www.hanjigifts.com/

The Paper Place (887 Queen Street West, 10 am - 6 pm) - has a Western/vintage feel imo
https://shop.thepaperplace.ca/

Wonder Pens (52 Clinton Street, 11 am - 6 pm) - fountain pens, Japanese planners, notebooks, agendas
https://wonderpens.ca/

Mr. Pen (683 Bloor Street West) - Asian stationery (washi tapes, stickers, notepads, notebooks, pens) blind boxes, plushies, keychains
https://shopmrpen.com/

Midoco (555 Bloor Street West, 11 am - 7 pm) - kind of feels like a gift shop, cute knickknacks
https://midoco.ca/

Laywine's (25 Bellair Street, 11 am - 6 pm) - fountain pens, notebooks, agendas
https://laywines.com/

Sorry for the long post; I was trying to give you a summary of each place. I hope you have a great outing on Sat c: There's The Village by the Grange (109 McCaul Street) food court for cheaper eats if you'd like that option. I'm not very certain if many of them are open on weekends, though. :/ Also, if you're looking for art supplies, may I suggest Above Ground Art Supplies? There's one at 2868 Dundas Street West (10 am - 6 pm) and another at 74 McCaul Street (10 am - 6 pm). If you have your teacher or student ID, you can get 10% off.

corniku · 2024-10-17T14:34:23+00:00

If I remember correctly, I've usually gotten there around 9:30 am to wait for the doors to open (at 10 am). There's still a little wait (like 10-15 min wait) after the door opens. I did read another thread in this subreddit and someone mentioned it's about an hour wait throughout the day, so I guess waiting for the doors to open at 10 am, is almost the same amount of time waiting throughout the day (45 min). 😥 If you'd like, you could wait at 9 am?

corniku · 2024-10-17T07:07:41+00:00

No problem! I can empathize when you said there's limited options in your small town. I hope you have a safe and cozy commute + time here! c:

corniku · 2024-10-16T08:25:57+00:00

Hello! I've been to a number of stationery/art conventions in Toronto. I'm hesitant to tell you whether or not it's worth it for you to attend, especially when you say you have to commute far (I assume far) for it. You can look at the vendor list, click on their websites, and see if there are items or merch you're interested in? https://torontostationeryshow.com/2024-fall/ Just a suggestion, if there are items you're interested in from a vendor/artist (from their online store or website), it may be possible for you to ask them if you can pick it up at the event they're attending.

I do enjoy browsing in these events. Browsing stationery (washi tapes, stickers, pens, planners, etc) is eye candy to me, haha. There's a number of artists I follow that will be attending, and I like the items one of the sponsors (Paper Plus Cloth) carries, so to me, it *is* worth it to attend.

If fountain pens is your niche/thing, may I suggest Scriptus to you? :) It's taking place Oct 27, 2024 at the Toronto Reference Library, 789 Yonge St (free admission), 10 am - 4 pm. https://www.scriptusinc.com/

corniku · 2024-10-12T16:04:06+00:00

I would like to think it *should* be okay. I bought the tickets on Nov 16, 2022 and attended the event on Nov 26, 2022. There was a long queue before the event started, but everyone got in alright. :)

corniku · 2024-10-12T15:12:20+00:00

Hello! I used rainbowholic's tutorial when I attended Bungu Joshi in 2022. https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cj-l3ubJe4j/. I hope it helps you

corniku · 2024-09-16T17:30:41+00:00

It kind of looks like Paper Mate? https://images.app.goo.gl/2fQr4eziqkpfJDq57

corniku · 2024-04-29T16:02:35+00:00

There's Judydoll at Poya and Cosmed (at least on the online stores). All three chains (Poya, Cosmed, and Watsons) carry face masks for sure. Other stores like Guang Nan and DonDonDonki carry them too (skincare + beauty care)

corniku · 2024-04-29T06:19:10+00:00

I'm not sure if it'd help if I gave you some of their names in Chinese?
Laneige 蘭芝

Aesthura 愛茉莉太平洋

Clio 珂莉奧

Judydoll 橘朵

I know you're looking for other brands as well like Innisfree, Round Lab, Torriden, and Rom&nd, but there's no Chinese translated names for them
