JetPens Recommendations for 2025

I've been talking off and on since the start of the year about journaling more (and otherwise just supporting people as they strive to keep up with their New Year's resolutions).

So with journaling (and writing) in mind, I was thrilled to find this roundup of favorite products from JetPens, the internet's one-stop shop for writing supplies.

I love everything about it. I love the products. I love the thoughtful categories (even though some of them are nonsense, such as a separate one for students, as if their writing is different from yours or mine?). I love the seriousness with which they take the whole project—the write-ups, the photos, the if-you-liked-this-try-these connections they make for us. Pens are the best. Pen people are the beset. Wishing you happy writing in 2025.
