No Particular Order, a stationery brand known for its thought-provoking journals and paper goods, is currently running a sale to celebrate founder Margot Lee's 28th birthday. Until 16 August, customers can save 28% on a bundle of the brand's most-loved items, including the Everything Birthday Card, a set of Acquaintance Cards, and the Off the Grid Travel Journal. The bundle is priced at $77.80, down from the original $108.
Products Designed to Encourage Screen-Free Reflection
The brand's products are designed to offer screen-free ways to log thoughts and maintain handwriting skills. In 2023, the author purchased the Volume One Journal, which features 200 guided prompts and a customizable white cover. The journal was used during a post-graduate existential crisis, with prompts such as "If you had the chance to ask one question and get a definitive answer, what would it be?" and "Who's in your inner circle?" The journal has also been recommended in a guide to indoor activities during a heatwave.
The Acquaintance Cards, priced at $22, function like business cards for romantic connections, helping to break the ice in person. The author tested them during a night out in New York City. The Off the Grid Travel Journal, priced at $28, was used during a trip to Japan, where the author taped receipts from convenience stores and recorded memories and guided prompts.
Sale Details and Availability
The birthday bundle includes the Everything Birthday Card, Acquaintance Cards, and the Grid Travel Journal. The sale is available until 16 August, offering a chance to try or gift the brand's staple items. The author notes that the products have accompanied them through various life events, including a post-grad existential crisis, dating life, and travel.
No Particular Order's products are part of a broader trend of using physical stationery to reduce screen time. The author has previously written about logging favorite books in a reading journal and using a physical planner as ways to lower screen time.
Impact and Next Steps
The sale provides an opportunity for consumers to purchase the bundle at a reduced price, potentially encouraging more screen-free activities. The author suggests that the bundle could be a thoughtful gift, and the Acquaintance Cards might even help someone meet a romantic interest. The sale ends on 16 August, so interested buyers should act before then to take advantage of the 28% discount.
