Stationery bestsellers & emerging trends

Eco-conscious packaging and sustainable stationery
As sustainability becomes a growing priority for consumers, many of the independent brands on CREOATE are leading the charge with eco-friendly packaging and responsibly sourced materials. From recycled paper notebooks to biodegradable greeting cards and soy-based inks, there's no shortage of planet-friendly options. Adding sustainable stationery to your store’s range can also create a positive brand perception and attract environmentally conscious shoppers.

Curated stationery bundles
Another rising trend among shoppers is gift-ready stationery bundles. These curated sets may include a matching notebook, washi tape, pens, and stickers — making them great for gifting and ideal for back-to-school or office organization promotions. Stationery bundles also encourage higher order values, especially when presented attractively in-store or online.

When looking to bulk buy stationery for your store, it’s always helpful to understand what’s trending, and what’s popular at different times of the year. Here’s our take:

Planners & diaries: new year essentials

There’s something about turning the first crisp page of a notebook that gets the new year off to a great start. Stock up on dated journals and planners from our stationery wholesalers in time for the festive and early January peak.

Bullet journals remain on-trend

We’ve written a beginners’ guide to bullet journals which documented how this type of journal became so popular, and how to ‘bullet journal’. While some of the hype has since died down, these are still a really popular style.

Greeting cards: a great stationery starter

It’s estimated that 811 million greeting cards are bought in the UK each year; that’s around 12 per person. Greeting cards are also typically fairly high margin, with many cards on CREOATE having a margin of 60% or more.

And what you’ll often find is that people will pop into your store for a greeting card, and end up leaving with one (or several!) things they didn’t even know they needed. And while you can tap into seasonal events and specific occasions, there are also plenty of lovely ‘neutral’ options if you just want to keep it to a few options. Who can resist a colourful

Washi tape: the ideal impulse purchase

Who can resist a colourful and highly appealing reel of washi tape? They make the perfect little countertop or tabletop display, and are perfect for eco-conscious shoppers.

Bold colour

We’ve noticed bold colours dominating stationery designs, and underpinning the most impactful stationery displays in store. When it comes to colour and stationery, it seems more is more!
