It is hard to explain what’s so novel about a miniature object. Some speculate it’s to do with a feeling of control in a complicated world, or the human nurturing instinct that recognizes something small as needing protection. As stationery lovers, we do perhaps understand the appeal of small things better than anyone. This box features perfectly small items, tinier than their big counterparts, yet perfect size for practical use!

Your ZenPop Stationery Box includes:
Sunstar stationery - Ukanmuri Clip Tiny - This tiny clip is proof that size does not matter when you have technique. Thanks to its 2 point clip system, it’ll keep your notebook open wide, undisturbed by the margin and without causing damage. Take note of the cute packaging illustrating its use with a picture of a notebook. The ergonomic shape makes it easy to open and close with a single hand, despite its strong grip. It also works great for holding cards, sticker sheets or other small items.
KingJim - Mini G-BOX File Stand - The all time favorite “file holder”, the design that has stayed relatively similar since its invention in 1880 has been shrunk to fit your business cards, memo cards, credit cards and all other cards you could imagine storing in a miniature way! It’s made of sturdy polymer material and even comes with a little PET pocket with room for a little piece of paper to label the folders contents. It has an assembly manual included.
Artemis - Miniature sticky notes - These oddly official looking sticky notes let you be creative with how you express your notes. You will either receive a parcel or clipboard design, each representing endless possibilities for humorous comments and possible placements. If you have the clipboard, why not make a little checklist for small joys? If you have the parcel one, why not leave it with a little gift attached for someone with the message “package delivery”?
Maruman - Miniature Notebook A6 - Maruman sells some of the most reliable notebooks in Japan, and this small one is just the same. It is actually not their smallest one, but if it was more tiny it may be a bit hard to use. Great to note down little ideas and sketches you may think of throughout your day. Many Japanese companies who have custom notebook merch use Maruman's notebooks as a base for their products.
Midori - Even Smaller Cutter! - For being extra tiny, it is packed with features! Tiny details like the clip makes it easy to keep accessible on top of your notebook, the non-slip rails keeps it user friendly, and thanks to its simple build, you can easily open it to reverse the blade to make it leftie friendly, or replace it when the time comes. It has 4 levels to its clip so you can adjust how deep the cut is. It keeps itself in position quite well but has no locking mechanism.
Tombow - PiT Glue Tape Air Touch- This glue roller fits as neatly in your hand as your pocket. The Air touch system ensures it’s easy to pull out tape smoothly. It does require pressure to use, but the resistance from the glue is minimal. Other nifty features include a lid to cover the tip from any dirt during transportation, and a design to make the last parts of the tape easy to bring out when the roll nears the end of its gluespan. To see more details, scan the qr code on the pack of the package for a detailed visual animation of what makes this glue roller tick.
Mitsubishi Pencil - UNI No.880 mini Colored Pencil set -This box of color pencils feels more like a box of luxury confectionery as you hold it in your hands. The weight and texture of the tin has a satisfying weight that really expresses the elegance of the 12 hand picked colors for this set. The core of Mitsubishi pencils are famously sturdy and hard to break. The inner lid has translations for each color, though the Japanese words have more nuance, like how “momoiro” is translated to “pink” even though a more accurate translation would be “Peach color”.
Isshoni - To Do sticky note tape -Cute mini sticky note roll that makes ticking off tasks more fun than ever! The size is perfect for keeping in a pencil case and due to its roll presentation, each sheet has glue on the whole back part. Each sheet is perforated so you can pull out as much as you want for each session. The glue is similar to a regular sticky note, so unless you use specialized paper, it's easy to pull off the page if you want to.
Mitsubishi Pencil - Uniball One P - Designed to be an accent to your living space, inspired by confectioneries, this tiny pen will add personality to wherever it is used. It’s easy to pick up and write with when you have a few minutes, and is made to feel good despite its short body. It has a metal ferrule to keep the tip stable during writing and the plump knocker has a satisfying “click” when knocking out the tip. The refills are UMR-38S/UMR-05S.
Every summer Japanese night skies are illuminated by the lingering embers of fireworks. This summer, let your planner or diary be illuminated with firework stationery drawing on this centuries old tradition.
Stand in a field of flowers and listen. Not to the birdsong, the gurgle of the trinkle or the fluttering leaves on the tree. No. Listen to the flowers. What do they say? In Japan, this is called “Hanakotoba” or “The words of the flowers”. This stationery box is inspired by this silent form of poetry, letting the sudden symbolism of nature emanate in all the tools, planting a seed of creativity within you.
Bread may not be the first thing you associate with Japan, but people here love the cute shapes, the textures and hues, and most of all, the flavors. This box borrows aesthetics from bread and cafes and abstracts it just enough to bring you a freshly baked theme for this month!
