Gorgeous stationery ideas

I'd like to get my lovely DIL-to-be some really beautiful stationery for Christmas - gorgeous writing paper, maybe a lovely pen, pretty notebooks, anything of that ilk.

I'm seeing lots of notecards online but I really want notebooks or loose writing paper, and matching or similarly appropriate pens, and bonus if they come in really nice boxes or packages that look pretty.

Anyone out there got any favourites that they can vouch for?

Papier is always my go to for this kind of thing - I think they sell everything you're after. Lovely designs too!

Also : what a lovely MIL-to-be you sound!

If I ever get married, my new aim is to find a guy who's parents buy me stationery for Christmas. I'll be flexible on the rest of my standards, but this part is now a must 😂

Thank you! It's just a shame I don't have a spare son...

I shall look into these places, thank you and @AHFBridport for the suggestions.

A Wren Pen from Toms studio, with some extra inks and cartridges with storage pots is on my list.

Also like Papier.

Sostrene Grene has some beautiful stationary and gift boxes.

If you think she'd like inks, Diamine make amazing shimmering inks. They work best with a dip pen but they're utterly beautiful.

Thank you so much for the pigeon post link! I've never seem them before. I've bought a pack each for my kids' stocking, and a pack as a gift for a couple of friends. Really lovely.

my MIL knew of my love of stationary early on and one of the best gifts she ever got me was a stylish chrome tape dispenser.

The Poetry Pharmacy and Black Bough both have gorgeous stationery.

If anyone is still interested, I ended up buying from Scriptum as mentioned by @AHFBridport and what arrived was so gorgeous that I promptly ordered another one for my other DIL!

Excellent news! I made my annual pilgrimage there last month and was not disappointed.
