Back to School with Pen Heaven – The Best Stationery for the New Term

Back to School with Pen Heaven – The Best Stationery for the New Term | AD

The new term is about to start. The autumn term — the start of a brand new school year — means stationery shopping! It’s something I remember fondly from my own childhood — browsing new pencil cases, pens, and notebooks with my mum. Stationery is still an important part for students of all ages, of course. Here we will look at some top picks from online stationery experts and UK’s leading luxury stationery retailer Pen Heaven. 

About Pen Heaven

Pen Heaven was founded in 2008 and offers a comprehensive range of writing instruments and leather journals, offering in-house engraving and embossing too. They are specialists in classic brands such as Parker, Cross and Lamy, and also boast some more unusual and hard-to-find items such as the Japanese hand painted Platinum range, Italian calligraphy sets and the creative Kaweco brand. 

They stock everything from luxury nibs and journals to playful pens and pencil cases from Legami, truly offering something for everyone who loves stationery. Pen Heaven covers products for every age, every budget, and every possible level of enthusiasm about returning to a classroom (or an office). 

Going Back to School in Style

Whether you are a young student at primary school, or slightly older and working your way through secondary school, college, or university, new stationery makes studying more fun. This is true even for grown-ups going back to school or taking a course for work. 

“September has always felt more like a fresh start than January to us,” says David Cole, CEO of Pen Heaven. “There’s something truly exciting about a new notebook and a pen that writes beautifully, whatever age you are. The right stationery doesn’t just sit on a desk, it makes you want to sit down and use it.” 

New Stationery for the Little Ones

If your child needs a new pencil case then I would highly recommend checking out the Legami Wonderwow Pencil Case (£13) which you can see here in the Teddy Bear design. This pencil case is rigid and has a cool clear side, letting you peek into the case.

It also features a mesh zipped compartment and elastic pen loops on the inside to keep everything organised. The secure zip closure can withstand the rigours of a school bag and is easy for young kids to use. This design is yellow and features an endearing bear design with flowers and bees.

All children that I know absolutely love Legami’s erasable pens. There are so many cute pen designs to collect! The brand has released a limited edition trio of erasable gel pens with adorable animal designs for 2026. The Legami Fur-Ever Friends 2026 Limited Edition Set (£7.99) includes three cute dog designs – one with red ink, one with blue ink, and one with black ink. The erasable gel ink makes it easy to make mistakes vanish cleanly which is great for students of all ages.

For Older Students & Young Adults

For more mature students — whether this is at secondary school or further education, there are some very stylish stationery products available from Pen Heaven too.

The LAMY safari Special Edition Meteora Rollerball Pen (£15), here in the rich deep purple Meteora colourway with sleek black detailing, is bold and atmospheric. The diamond-patterned texture offers a secure grip and the pen is lightweight and ergonomic enough to use for hours during long lectures or revision sessions without your hand getting tired. This distinctive, high-quality pen is one of the best value special edition pens available and a great tool for students to have in their pencil case.

If you prefer a pencil, then you can’t get a more stylish option than the Kaweco Lunar Sport Shadow Blue Clutch Pencil (£17). This pencil features a compact, short design that ensures it will fit in your pocket. It’s beautifully weighted in your hand and features a 3.2mm clutch pencil mechanism. This makes this pencil feel like a precision instrument — perfect for illustrators, and design and architect students. 

For note-taking, the Moleskine The Lord of the Rings Soft Cover Cahier Notebooks (set of 3, £25) are perfect. These limited edition extra-large ruled journals featuring Middle-earth artwork across flexible cardboard covers with hand-stitched spines. They’re beautiful and perfect for students who are serious about both their school work and their reading!
