Since the pencil arrived unsharpened, it’s lucky they included a sharpener as well. I’m always partial to mechanical pencils myself but I think this is something my niece will really like to add to her pencil case. I received the Cinnamoroll version with a blue jewel on top. Perfect if you need to take notes on the go but too small for much everyday use. This is a small bonus item sent to everyone that you can attach to your keys or potentially a phone. If you are going to use it for memos, they’ll have to be exceptionally brief. The binding on the edge makes it look like a tiny book and makes me hesitant to pull pages out because it’s adorable in its unused state. This is a matchbook-sized notepad and the name corresponds to sounds in the Japanese syllabary. 2019 is a boar year and it should “bring luck to your family and prosperous business.” This postcard brought back fond memories and is fuel for my New Year's resolution to write to long-distance friends more often. When I was an exchange student in Japan, I loved the New Year’s tradition of writing and receiving cards. The barrel of the pen has a cute red and white daruma doll design, which are associated with good luck. You can smell it the moment the pen is uncapped and since I love that particular aroma, I’m sure I’ll be using this a ton. This brush pen, with two differently sized nibs at each end, has had sandalwood mixed in with the ink. Who knew there was a sophisticated adult version of the coveted scented markers of elementary school days? I’m completely smitten. There are two miniscule eggplant stickers that I’ll have to be judicious when choosing the perfect occasion to use them. There are two options and I received the “Chubby Animals” set which includes half of the sheet for annual events and the other half for daily events. The size is great, they can easily fit into a day block in my calendar and still leave me plenty of room for notes. These cute and very tiny stickers are going to be a fun addition. This time of year is my favorite for setting up my planner for the year ahead. It gives you a rundown of each item and this month’s theme is “Lucky New Year.” The ZenPop’s info sheet is really helpful since a lot of the packaging isn’t in English.
