8 Affordable Brands Like Miniso To Check For Super-Cute Stationery

A place where you’ll truly be spoilt for choice. They offer an incredible variety, not just across categories like stationery, art supplies, craft materials, journaling essentials, resin art tools, jewellery-making kits, and Lippan art supplies, but also within each sub-category. Everything is ridiculously cute and surprisingly affordable, making it almost impossible to stop hoarding. And even when the hoarding does end, the final bill stays pleasantly low. Brush pen sets are the only exception, priced at around INR 3,000. But with 100–120 pens in each set and the kind of quality they offer, it’s a solid deal that’s hard to beat elsewhere.

I got a Purpulp hamper for my birthday last year, and I’ve been obsessed ever since. As the name suggests, everything here is purple-core, and even if that’s not your favourite hue, a quick scroll through their website might just rewire your brain chemistry. Their notebooks (both spiral and pocket-sized) are a joy to write in, and the “Pinterest Vibes Bundle”—a tote bag packed with notepads, notebooks, and stickers—makes for an absolutely perfect gift for any stationery lover.

If there were a word that’s like the mother of "cute," I’d associate Supple Room with that. They even have a section called “Pinteresty,” filled with everything you’ve ever paused to admire while scrolling through Pinterest, not just bookmarks, but also tumblers, bowknot glasses, and keychains. Their sticker booklets are so affordable that you might just end up grabbing them all. And to top it off, they’ve got self-adhesive wax seal stickers and Kawaii washi tapes that make any journaling or crafting session feel extra pretty.

Papboo, short for PAP-er BOO-k, is the place to score some of the coolest notebook covers you’ll actually want to show off on your desk.

Stationery brands are great, but eco-friendly stationery brands have a special place in LBB’s heart. Based in Agra, Plantables started with seed papers and has now expanded into a variety of sustainable materials. Everything is thoughtfully and artistically crafted. They also recycle and upcycle materials, moving steadily towards a zero-waste approach. Their notebooks and postcards are lovely, but it’s their hand-painted gift envelopes that have completely won me over. Oh, they also offer the cutest paper bouquets!

Starting Price: INR 90

They also offer beautifully curated kits that work perfectly for gifting.

I came across this China-based brand a while ago, and I still remember how hard it was to resist hoarding everything I saw. The prices are so low, it almost feels like you’re stealing.
