What’s in the Gift Bag?

Let’s start with a quick overview of my go-to Mr. Pen goodies:

1. Highlighters Galore

You can never have too many! Mr. Pen has a huge variety of highlighter sets, and I love that there are so many colors to choose from. You can match the vibe to the person—pastel for soft girlies, bold for color lovers, and everything in between.

2. Washi Tape

Washi tape is such an underrated gift. It’s great for Bible journaling, decorating notebooks, sealing envelopes, or just adding fun pops of color anywhere. I especially love the Mr. Pen washi sets that come with cute vintage patterns and a mini measuring tape for precision. Smart AND adorable.

3. Bible Tabs

Perfect if you’re gifting someone a Bible—or if they already have one and want to personalize it. These Bible tabs are easy to apply, super durable, and make flipping through books a breeze during study or Sunday service. I’ve had mine on for almost a year, and they still look amazing.

4. Stationery Sets + Journals

Mr. Pen’s writing kits are SO cute—and they come with everything from pens to highlighters to ink refills. The journals are another fave. They’re aesthetic, high quality, and totally blank inside so you can make them your own. Use them for journaling, note-taking, planning… whatever your heart desires.

Let’s Talk Quality: Do They Actually Perform?

Yes, yes, and YES. Let’s start with the Chisel Tip Aesthetic Highlighters—these have gorgeous color payoff and are smooth to use. Then we have the Pastel Gel Highlighters—they’re more of a crayon texture, which makes them perfect for younger kids or delicate Bible pages since they don’t bleed through. Plus, the packaging is chef’s kiss.

The smudge-proof, no-bleed formula makes Mr. Pen highlighters ideal for anyone who loves clean pages and crisp lines. And honestly? I use mine daily.

Cute Ways to Use These Goodies

Washi tape isn’t just for sealing envelopes. One of my favorite hacks is using it as a decorative border—just layer it, draw over it with your highlighters, and then peel it away for a cool collage look. It’s perfect for cards, journals, or adding flair to notes. You can even use it as a makeshift bookmark!

With the Bible tabs, setup is simple: peel, place, fold. You’ll get them all aligned in under 10 minutes, and they last. Mine have been through everywhere—Bible studies, church bags, everyday reading—and they’re still going strong. Plus, each set includes a few blank ones you can customize with your favorite verses or personal prayers. Love that.

The Ultimate Stocking Stuffers 🎁

If you’re still looking for stocking stuffer ideas, look no further. A highlighter set under $5? Yes please. Cute pens, gel highlighters, full writing kits—they’re all affordable, practical, and super giftable. Honestly, you could even DIY your own little stationery bundle!

Final Thoughts

So whether you’re shopping for your Bible study bestie, a crafty cousin, or just someone who’s obsessed with stationery (hi, me), these last-minute gifts from Mr. Pen check all the boxes: affordable, adorable, and actually useful.

And remember—this season isn’t about perfect gifts or perfect timing. It’s about love, joy, and celebrating the One who brings us peace. Don’t stress—Jesus is the reason for the season (and every season).

Wishing you all a beautiful, cozy, and creative Christmas. 🎄✨
