You know you’re addicted to stationery when, upon entering National Book Store (NBS) to buy just a roll of Scotch tape or a Sharpie, you end up paying for a bag full of pocket journals, a scented highlighter set, 4-in-1 gel pen barrel (and refills in different colors), magnetic bookmarks, washi tape and a new adult coloring book.
And if you feel fine doing that, don’t miss “Happy Space”—NBS’ first-ever three-day stationery and supplies fair to be held today, April 15, until April 17, 10 a.m.-9 p.m. at the Glorietta Activity Center, Ayala Malls Makati. Admission is free.
Participating are exclusive NBS brands as well as partners like 3M, IFEX, Filstar, Prestige Paper, Sterling.
There will also be activities, freebies, and exclusive giveaways.
Artists and crafters will be thrilled to see Palomino’s Blackwing pencils, Clairefontaine PaintOn pads, MoMA collectibles and novelty products (the famous Lumio book lamp will be available), PanPastel pigments and applicators, Rhodia pads and notebooks, Sennelier Raphael brushes, and Japanese brand Lihit Lab’s smart bags.
