Here at Crafts Beautiful we have a bit of an obsession with stationery, and we are definitely going to be celebrating this week as National Stationery Week gets underway!

STABILO has been a manufacturer of pens and pencils for over 150 years, and their products stand for good quality and excellent design. With colouring being all the rage at the moment, with various books making their way into the best-seller lists, now is the perfect time to grab some of their fabulous colouring tools and relax with some drawing or shading. It’s a calming activity but it also promotes wellness and stimulates creativity, which is great for reducing stress. The best part is that you don’t have to be an artist to enjoy the activity!
