Review: Nakatoshi Design Roll Rubber Stamp
I am back with more stationery finds from DAISO!
Today, I'm reviewing the design roll rubber stamp! A commonly used item in journaling but at a fraction of its usual high price tag.
I picked up both the patterned version and words version.
Each "roll stamp" has 12 different designs.
To test them, I also picked up a stamp pad from DAISO.
It features 6 different colors in thin strips. Making it more compact than carrying 6 different ink pads. And since the roll stamp has designs with a thin width as well, it fits perfectly!
As expected, they stamp without any issue. The plastic handle is easy to hold as well. My only gripe would be that it is hard to rotate the cog wheel to change the design. The pointed edges are a bit sharp so please use carefully.
However, since they do not come with a cover of any sort, you must clean it throughly after each use and before storing. Else the leftover ink will stain your other things.
Overall, I think its cheap and easy to use. And if you were only to buy one, I think the one with words featuring days of the week is more useful.

Review: Pilot KIRE-NA Highlighter Pale Tone Set
It's another highlighter review!
This time it's the limited edition KIRE-NA pale tone set from Pilot.
The set includes 5 pale colour highlighters and a flexible ruler.
As a bonus, the deconstructed packaging yields a zipper case you can use to store the highlighters and ruler, very smart!
The five colours are pale tone and if you're into pastels, this is for you.
There is a blue, pink, green, grey and yellow and each pen is double sided.
Highlighter and marker.
The ruler is interesting. It's flexible and rubbery, even though it's clear.
It's not my favourite kind of ruler but it's a nice addition, especially with the highlighters.
The highlighter tip itself is pretty cool. It has plastic strips on the bottom and the top, these serve as built in guides, and keeps dirt away from the highlighter tip.
Other features include smudge proof ink and finger grips.
I'd like to use these a bit more, but the zipper case, perfect pale tone colours make this set very interesting.

REVIEW: DAISO Log Stamp [Weekly, Calendar and Tag]
DAISO is fast becoming one of my favorite places to buy journaling goods.
Their current LOG STAMP range is a perfect example of their current lineup.
I picked up 3 of the stamps from the range.
The stamps are nicely sized. Good for use in an array of sizes of notebooks and memo pads.
They also feature a neutral color palette; making it easy to coordinate with your favorite colors.
They are also self inking and do not require you to use an ink pad.
This makes them a lot more portable as well. The ink used is black, which matches with most palettes.

The sharp lines stamp nicely and do not exude too much ink.
The low mess and versatility makes it a perfect addition to anyone's stationery collection.
