Since like forever I had been wanting to visit the brick and mortar store of Present and Correct in London. Their online presence is so so good, clever, hilarious and witty. If you love checkboxes and beautiful forms, their website is heaven. Plus who has ever enough notebooks, pencils or vintage office supplies? My job is rather digital, but it's my not-so-secret pleasure that I love having all kinds of scissors, pencil sharpeners, rulers, staplers around to shape my offline ideas.
Little did I know that the Present & Correct shop is stationary heaven, but it was torture to choose something to bring home! So many vintage notebooks, postcards, pens, staplers, erasers, brushes, paperclips, organising tools, envelopes, planners, calendars, tape dispensers… What would you choose?
Look at those pink eraser brushes:
Gorgeous gold foil post cards and notebooks with lines or grids and more…
pencils and more notebooks with block grids:
mini notebooks, washi tape, staples in vintage boxes:
and more:
L'agenda de l'année:
I totally forgot I need new glue! This green bottle looks great. I also wishlisted this vintage Super tube organiser and brought home a Present & Correct notebook.

What a lovely shop – I want everything in your photos! I think I would get lost in it and never want to leave! Must visit when next I am in London. :)
I'm just like you, I didn't want to leave and it took me a long long time to make my choice. Let me know what you'll bring home, next time you're visiting, Tochi ;)
Cette boutique est un véritable enfer !! On a envie de tout acheter …. Superbe, je note l'adresse pour un prochain voyage à Londres !
Aah oui, c'est carrément l'enfer ! Ultra compliqué de faire son choix, mais la visite vaut le détour : c'est parfait pour y faire son shopping de noël par exemple… (je dis ça je dis rien hihi ;) ).
Ooooh! Deze staat al zo lang op mijn lijstje…ga er binnenkort heen!! Gaaf deze sneakpeek! xx
Oh cool! Dat wordt nog lastig, er is zoveel moois, ik kon echt nauwelijks kiezen. En ook zo leuk om er vintage Nederlandse schriftjes en postzegels te vinden. Beetje jeugdsentiment ;) Alvast veel plezier als je gaat, Lonneke!
I would get ruined myself here! I have a love for note books and do stack them. The funniest thing is whenever I need one, I feel they are too pretty to use them. And then I work with the Muji ones again…:-) Lovely tip, Judith! x
You're totally right, Gudy, it's so tough to start using a new gorgeous notebook! But it's one of these things that I use every day, so it better be a nice one, right?! Hope you are well! xx
Perfection! Aaargh! *explodes*
