Perhaps the best known of all the brands here, you may even own some Monami stationery without realising that they're a brand from Korea! Monami's Plus Pen 3000 that features a whopping 48 colours and a hard — but bendable — nib is perfect for any calligraphy beginner looking to get a set of markers that are both beginner and wallet friendly. Take note that the pen is not waterproof so be sure to keep your work of art dry and away from any accidental splashes of water!

Paper Doll Mate Stickers

For those of you born in the 90s, you might remember playing with paper dolls that came on a sheet of paper. These dolls and their accompanying "clothes" were perforated and you'd have to pop them out before being able to dress your doll. Now take that childhood nostalgia and put it into a sticker form — you're free to stick your creations anywhere you'd like, on your laptop, water bottle, or just in your journal. What a way to relive long lost childhood memories after a long day at work!

If this name sounds familiar to you, that might be because you've seen them in our piece on 7 K-Beauty Finds to Perfect Your Glow! This stationery brand known for its cute characters recently collaborated with K-Beauty brand Peripera to have their signature characters printed on some of Peripera's best selling products. Aside from their foray into the makeup world, you can find Teteum's adorable characters in sticker format to add some joy in your daily notes.

Livework Washi Tapes

Washi tapes have been all the rage, especially when considering their utility and design. They can be used by artists who need to protect certain areas of their work when painting, or as an adhesive to stick photos and cards on the walls. Another way that washi tape has commonly been used is for decoration in notebooks and journals! That is exactly what Livework's Washi Tapes can do for you, with special designs featuring the months, weather, and dates that you can use as headers in your journal.

After all these stationery, you might be wondering how you can bring them along with you when you're out. May we recommend: Dinotaeng's line of string pouches! These brightly-coloured 18x20cm pouches are just big enough to carry your loose stationery or makeup without being too bulky. You might also find the illustrations familiar to you, as the brand had collaborated with Innisfree to have their designs printed on Innisfree's No-Sebum Mineral Powder earlier in the year.
