Stationary finds at FIVE BELOW

Oh my goodness, you guys, I have to tell you about my latest Five Below haul! Like many of you, I've always had a soft spot for stationery. There’s something so satisfying about fresh pens and crisp notebooks, right? It just makes everyday tasks feel a little more joyful. I popped into Five Below the other day, not expecting much, but boy, was I wrong! I walked out with some seriously amazing finds that I can't wait to share. First up, let's talk about pencils. Finding good pencils at a bargain price is always a win. I snagged a pack of vibrant mechanical pencils – they come in purple, blue, green, and orange, all with a smooth 0.7mm lead. They're perfect for jotting down quick notes in my planner or adding a pop of color to my journaling spreads. And for my more artistic moods, I also found these delightful pastel pencils, marked #2 HB. They write so smoothly and sharpen like a dream, which is essential for sketching or just coloring in my adult coloring books. If you're looking for quality mechanical pencils or even colored pencils for your creative projects, Five Below really delivered! Next, pens! You can never have too many pens, in my opinion. I was impressed to find a pack of black ink ballpoint pens made from what looks like eco-friendly wheat plastic – they feel great in hand and write consistently. But the real showstopper for me was a set of fine tip watercolor pens. Twelve gorgeous colors, each with its own unique name! These are fantastic for adding delicate details to my bullet journal or even trying out some hand lettering. They've definitely elevated my creative planning game. Of course, no stationery haul is complete without something to write *in*. I was immediately drawn to a super cute weekly planner with adorable balloon animal designs. It has dedicated sections for each day, tasks, and even a dotted area for notes or doodles. It's been a game-changer for keeping my schedule organized. And for those days when I need a little self-reflection, I picked up a pink guided journal titled 'What's the BEST that can HAPPEN?'. It's full of prompts for setting goals and practicing self-care. It’s such a positive way to start or end the day, reminding me to 'Focus on the Good' and that 'You Got This!'. And let’s not forget the little extras that make planning fun! While I didn’t get any this trip, Five Below always has a fantastic selection of stickers – perfect for decorating planners, journals, or even personalizing your laptop. They're usually super affordable, so I always grab a few packs to add some personality to my pages. Finally, a practical find that I didn't even know I needed: an attachable desk drawer! It comes with adhesive tape, so it was super easy to install under my desk. It’s perfect for keeping all my new pens, pencils, and smaller stationery items organized and out of sight, decluttering my workspace. It’s amazing how a tidy space can boost your creativity. Honestly, if you're a stationery enthusiast or just looking to refresh your supplies on a budget, you have to check out Five Below. You'll be surprised by the quality and variety of items you can find, from your basic mechanical pencils to creative watercolor pens and even helpful desk organizers. Happy shopping!
