Stationery Addict? 10 Signs You Might Be One!

Do you get excited at the sight of a fresh notebook? Do you find yourself buying pens even though you have a drawer full of them? If you can relate, you just might be a stationery addict! At FORUM Stationers, we celebrate all things stationery, so let’s see if you exhibit these 10 telltale signs of a true stationery lover!

1. The Smell of Fresh Paper Brings You Joy

There’s something magical about opening a brand-new notebook and inhaling that crisp, clean paper scent. If you do this every time you buy a new journal, congratulations—you’re officially obsessed!

2. You Own More Notebooks Than You’ll Ever Use

Lined, dotted, grid or blank—you have them all. Your collection keeps growing and yet, you always find a reason to buy another one. “It’s for a special project,” you tell yourself.

3. Choosing the Right Pen is a Serious Task

You have an entire arsenal of pens, and each one has a purpose. Whether it’s gel pens for smooth writing, fineliners for precision or fountain pens for that classic touch, you take your pen game seriously.

4. Your Planner is a Work of Art

Your diary or planner is not just for jotting down appointments—it’s a masterpiece! With colourful highlighters, stickers and washi tape, you turn every page into an aesthetic wonder.

5. You Can’t Resist a Good Sticky Note

Sticky notes are everywhere—your desk, your fridge, your mirror, your laptop. You use them for reminders, doodles and sometimes just because they’re cute!

6. You Have a Favourite Stationery Store (or Several!)

You get excited every time you step into a stationery shop and you know exactly where to find the best supplies. (Hint: If FORUM Stationers is your go-to, you’re in excellent company!)

7. You Have a Special Pen Nobody Else is Allowed to Use

There’s that one pen you love and if anyone dares to borrow it, you watch them like a hawk to make sure it’s returned safely!

8. You Have a Growing Collection of Highlighters

From neon to pastel, chisel tip to fine point—you’ve got highlighters in every colour imaginable. Even if you don’t use them every day, just having them within reach makes you feel prepared and inspired!

9. Your Desk is a Colour-Coordinated Dream

Your stationery is not just functional—it’s also beautifully organised! Colour-coded folders, matching pen holders and neatly arranged supplies make your desk a stationery lover’s paradise.

10. You’re Always on the Hunt for New Supplies

You don’t need another set of highlighters, but when you see a pastel pack, you just have to have them. There’s always something new and exciting to add to your collection!
