I went to Japan recently and visited Itoya, a gigantic stationery store in Ginza, Tokyo. They have everything stationery-related imaginable there. Here are some of the things I purchased that really blew my mind!

This is called the Deco Rush decorating tape. It looks like a regular white-out dispenser, but it dispenses cutely designed tape! I chose the one with whimsical dogs. The Deco Rush is super easy to use and it dispenses onto paper quite cleanly.

I've never gotten so excited about a pen before in my life, but the FRIXION pen by Pilot is amazing. It works like a regular pen, but the trick is at the opposite end of the writing tip. The white rubbery end is an eraser! It never leaves eraser dust and will never shrink down. The eraser works very well.

I drew three squiggly lines, one in each color, and then rubbed the eraser about three times down each squiggle.
Look at how clean it is! |

This is the Beetle Tip highlighter that has two interesting ridges; it's so you can highlight in three different ways!! Use the thick ridge for bold lines, the thin ridge for thin lines, and both to make double lines!! This should make highlighting very interesting. You can highlight words, underline words, and surround words with two lines.
