I loooooove stationery (notebooks, pens, crayons, washi tape, stickers, etc) and love to spend time looking and browsing. I can’t afford high end products so find myself in smiths and rymans (as well as on line). Are there any other good stationery shops where I could mooch around and increase my stash of goodies? I am in the midlands but we do lots of city breaks / holidays as well, including Devon, Cornwall and London.

i quite agree with the prices have you tried The Works especially at sale time? you can do online but they have lots of shops across the uk

Not a physical shop, but Cult Pens online are brilliant! Great customer service and a wide range of products, both budget and high end :)

A big branch of The Range usually has some good stationery, and TKMaxx worth a look.

Love a browse in Post mark, now paper chase is sadly no more.

There's a nice one in Lancaster called Analog. There used to be an absolutely wonderful one in Kendal, but it closed down a few years ago Sad I still miss it!

Flying Tiger and Sostrene Grene are great for quirky or pretty budget stationery. The latter is gradually expanding in the UK… we’ve just had a shop open up near us. Before that, I stocked up whenever I was in London. Online, I like Rex of London.

BM Bargains has a lot of nice stationery in at the moment.

I also came to say Cult Pens - awesome!

I totally get you – I’m the same, I can lose hours just browsing notebooks, pens, washi tape and all those stationery goodies. I usually end up in Smiths or Rymans too, but I’ve also found some lovely indie spots when I’m out and about. In London, places like Paperchase on Oxford Street and smaller boutiques in Covent Garden are great for a mooch. When I’m online though, I love exploring Me Loovely – they’ve got gorgeous personalised letter sets, greeting cards and art prints that feel really special without being super high-end in price, plus they offer free UK delivery, which makes it even better for topping up my stash.

There’s a flying tiger opening in merry hill OP depending on where you are in the Midlands .

If you make it down to Sherborne at all in Dorset there is a beautiful proper stationery shop at the top of the high street. Pens out the front and planners/diaries/notebooks at the back of the shop.
