Chocolate is a Valentine's Day gift. But once you eat it, it disappears. Isn't that a little sad?

If it's obligatory chocolate, it's best if it disappears. But for your true love, you want to give him something he can use for a long time, something he can keep close by, ideally. For example, how about stationery?

Eight Ball, a select shop for imported stationery and miscellaneous goods in Nishi-Shinjuku, stocks a selection of stylish stationery and miscellaneous goods perfect for discerning men. Today, we'll be introducing three stationery items from Eight Ball that are perfect for Valentine's Day gifts, selected by the Enuchi editorial team. It can be a little nerve-wracking to select items from a select shop.


■Top 3 Stationery Items Perfect for Valentine's Day Gifts
◆1st place: WESTMINSTER's "Light Pen"
The pen has a perfectly placed light that illuminates the tip, allowing you to take notes even in dark places.


There are many different types of book lights (reading lights) that can be attached to paperback books, and they are essential for people who travel frequently for business and want to read books on airplanes. However, there are very few products that allow you to take notes on airplanes. A "light pen" would be the perfect gift for a man who travels frequently and is dissatisfied with this.


◆2nd place : “Mail Folder”
This folder looks just like a computer folder. Anyone can tell it's a folder at a glance. It's the perfect gift for a man who's good at organizing but also has a bit of a playful side.


It can be attached anywhere with a magnet or thumbtack and comes with a cursor sticker.

◆3rd place : "Micro Dots Transparent Cards" playing cards

These are see-through playing cards that allow you to see through to the other side. You can see your opponent's expression clearly through the cards. But strangely, your opponent cannot see the suit or rank of the cards in your hand. These cards are just like those in a police interrogation room.



This product is no longer even considered stationery, but it certainly makes an impact!

■By the way, what is an “eight ball”?
Eight Ball is a select shop in Nishi-Shinjuku that sells imported stationery and miscellaneous goods. The store is filled with cute and interesting stationery items that you won't find anywhere else, selected by the president, Mr. Konno.


According to Konno, Japanese stationery is often functionally excellent but lacks design, while foreign stationery tends to have interesting colors and designs but is inferior in functionality and difficult to use.

Konno opened this store with the desire to collect functional and easy-to-use stationery from overseas and deliver it to his customers.


■Original stationery is also available! Eight Ball also sells original stationery produced by Konno.


One of them is "To-Do List." It features a simple and stylish design. But more than that, it's also a very easy-to-use and excellent tool. You write down the things you need to do that day in "To-Do," and the tasks that need to be completed especially quickly in "ASAP."


The weekly schedule book "Weekly Schedule Sheet" was also produced by Konno. This one, too, is designed to be easy to use, and was created by someone who knows stationery.


There are other similar products out there, but Eight Ball's original products are subtly sprinkled with elements that make getting work done fun. Anyone who loves stationery will immediately understand this greatness.

■You can still make it in time for Valentine's Day [br /] There are only four days left until Valentine's Day. Many people have already ordered their chocolate and are probably wondering what to buy next. For those people, we recommend "Eight Ball." However, this shop is closed on Sundays and holidays. In other words, they are closed on February 11th (National Foundation Day), so please be aware of this.
