Advent calendars are great, but they're not very good for you, being filled with chocolate as they are. So we have an alternative, a creative one, being as we are a stationery shop and not a confectionery shop.

It's the Diamine Ink-vent Calendar 2022 and it's filled with... ink!

Yes, 25 little bottles of ink in lots of lovely colours. Behind each of 24 of the doors is a bottle of 12ml ink, while behind the 25th is a 30ml bottle (because it's Christmas after all).

All the inks are brand new. Some are standard, some shimmer, some smell (nice). Some are chameleons (yes, you'll have to wait and see on those!) and a few are multi-talented. As far as we know at this stage, their names will be Upon a Star, Flame, Bliss, Serendipity, Yule Log, Three Kings, Cosy Up, One More Sleep, Solar Storm, Celebration, Olive Swirl, Best Wishes, Spruce, Spice Apple, Pick Me Up, Dusted Truffle, Silent Night, Appletini, Ghost, Alpine, Deck the Halls, Jingle Berry, Memory Lane, Arctic Blast and Cardinal. But do bear in mind that they might change!

The only problem you might face with the Inkvent Calendar is resisting the compulsion to get ahead of yourself.
