I’m back from my second trip to Europe! This time I visited 12 countries. Some of the countries (the Baltics in particular) didn’t have any stationery shops that I could find. But other countries (Belgium, the Netherlands & Germany in particular) had plenty of stationery shops! All in all I ended up with 5 planners, 14 dot grid notebooks, some highlighters and some pens.
I’ll eventually be posting reviews for each of the planners here on the blog and my YouTube channel but here’s a peak at them!
I’ll also be posting lists of my favorite stationery stores in the places I went to like I did with my last Europe trip (Rome, Paris, London etc.)
Europe Stationery Haul
There were many more notebooks and planners I would’ve loved to purchase but sadly couldn’t fit them due to the luggage weight limit! 🙁

Pen & Highlighter Testing
Love these fineliner pens – they remind me of the Kikki K fineliners (even the colors are similar).
The highlighters are nice and I like the pen shape but the colors are the same as you can get for almost any highlighter brand.
These erasable markers ended up being thinner than I was expecting – they’re more like a pen. Good for underlining and boxing titles, thin borders to divide up a page etc.
I’m so glad I bought the Monami highlighters. They remind me of the Stabilo Boss but with a pen like shape.

Thank you so much for sharing your finds!! We are traveling to Munich in mid December and would love to stop in the stores you found. Would you be willing to share the names of them? Also the name of the little store you talked about on the way to the castle? We are considering taking a tour and might find one that stops in that city. Thank you so much. Your articles have been SO helpful.
