National Stationery Week 2025: Ways To Get Involved!

Yes, stationery lovers rejoice because you heard it right – it is time for National Stationery Week 2025! This is such a fun week for anyone who loves using stationery, and it is a great thing for retailers to get involved with. There is something for everyone! 

National Stationery Week is also in partnership with the London Stationery Show, which I absolutely LOVED attending in previous years. (I am honestly so gutted that I can’t attend this year) but this is a trade show not open to the general public.

However, there’s definitely some great things open to everyone!

What to expect?

During the week, a lot of different retailers and brands get involved in different ways. Some will offer discounts or freebies, so it can be a great time to buy that new pen you have been eyeing up or replenish your notebook hoard. Other brands may do giveaways (both on their social media or in store!). There are also tutorials, classes and events taking place. Do a quick search and see if there is anything local to you! If not, perhaps you could host something yourself? Maybe invite some friends over for a crafty afternoon?

If you cannot find something local to you, perhaps there is something online! Take a calligraphy class, join a journal group or follow a painting tutorial! If you’re stuck for ideas, why not check out the Stationery Selfcare Project?

There will also be other online activities that you can partake in – such as the 7 Days of Stationery.

National Stationery Week is such a fun celebration of something I certainly love! Looking through my old archived blogs recently, I found this very old blogger logo (back from 2015 and I cannot believe that I have been supporting the week since then! It does NOT feel like it has been ten years. Time clearly flies when you’re having fun!).

Check back here every day, and there will be an update with more information on the day and how you can get involved. I will also be sharing what I do to celebrate the occasion on my Instagram account – @aumsome. And if you need more ideas, be sure to follow all of the hashtags – #NatStatWeek as well as the day’s hashtag to see what people get up to on that day!
