Somehow, it’s that time of year again. We thought we should tell you about some of our products that could make good gifts.
Be super efficient and do some Christmas shopping while stocking up on ink or toner (and save on freight)!
For convenience, we have made a Gift Ideas category on our main menu for you to have a look through (see how to find it in Figure 1).
If you don’t have time to read this blog post, just pop over to our site and check out our new Gift Ideas menu!

First, we have some useful yet cool Scotch products – elegant weighted tape dispensers, scissors, and fancy Post-It notes. Some of these would be great for kids – our daughter would love the white cat Post-It dispenser (Figure 2). The Scotch kid scissors make cutting easier for small hands.

For older kids, teens or even adults who like their stationery, we have some colourful and elegant Rhodiarama pencil cases and notebooks in matching colours (Figure 3).
We also have some very nice Age Bag and Flying Spirit pencil cases. The Flying Spirit pencil case rolls look incredibly elegant! There are matching journals, notepads, sketch pads and sewn notebooks also.
For artists, designers and sewists, we have Clairefontaine tracing paper in sheets and rolls.
For learner watercolour artists, we have these watercolour pads with painting instructions and initial lines, with a selection of different designs, including horses and flowers.
We have plenty of other pads and paper for artists too, for watercolour, Clairefontaine mixed media and Rhodia mixed media, from beginner suitable to quite expensive. The Pastelmat range of paper, pads and board for pastels is pretty special for serious pastel artists.
If you have a creative friend or relative who’s planning to travel, the Goldline travel albums are made with quality paper that is suitable for different media. They also have a cover that you can customise by painting on. Clairefontaine also has other hardcover albums that would make great gifts. Find all these here in the Clairefontaine Albums category.

For keen hand-writers, we have some elegant pens and writing sets that come in gift boxes, both modern ballpoint and fountain pens, and calligraphy nibs and holders. These Herbin Traditional Writing Sets contain a beautifully boxed golden pen holder, writing nib (65B) and a 10ml bottle of ink, in 4 different colour options. The colourful retro Pilot MR3 fountain and ballpoint pens and elegant MR1 fountain and ballpoint pens come in a gift box and make good corporate gifts.
There is also a large range of beautifully presented bottles of ink for fountain pens. There are packs of multiple ink colours by Herbin and gorgeous bottles of Pilot’s Iroshizuku ink in Japanese nature-inspired colours to delight lovers of fountain pens.
For fine writing, these Herbin glass pens are just amazing and so attractive.
Maybe a friend is getting into calligraphy or getting married – these waxes and seals could make a fun gift.
How about a guest book as a housewarming gift? Elegant business card holder for celebrating a new job? Address book wedding present? Plenty of possibilities in our OSC Address and Guest Books, Journals and Business Card Holders category.

Know someone with kids off to daycare, kindy or school in the new year? Maybe they need a label printer and some labels to name all the things – these Brother P-Touch printers would make a nice gift – these labels work nicely on drink bottles. There’s even pink hearts tape! You can get labels that iron onto fabric for these labellers too. We also have Dymo printers with laminated sticky labels and iron-on fabric labels.
Speaking of kids and education, do you know a keen nature lover or budding plant scientist? This Clairefontaine Herbier Spiral Book is perfect for preserving flowers, plants and leaves, and is made from paper that is suitable for drawing and sketching with pencil, chalk, felt-tip, Indian ink and gouache (Figure 4).
