Stationery Store Day Is Coming — and You’re Invited!

🎉 Stationery Store Day Is Coming — and You’re Invited!

Mark your planners: Saturday, August 2nd, 2025

This one goes out to the notebook sniffers. And the list makers. The pen testers. The planner switchers and paper hoarders. On August 2nd, we celebrate the joy of IRL paper shops with Stationery Store Day — and LPA is throwing one hell of a party. New drops, exclusive merch, and a free notebook just for showing up.

What’s Stationery Store Day?

Created by Kristina Burkey (fellow paper lover + owner of Calliope Paperie in Hudson), Stationery Store Day is a lot like Record Store Day... but for pen hoarders, planner nerds, journal junkies, and sticker stackers.

It's a chance to celebrate the magic of independently owned stationery shops — the kind where the owner knows your name, your favorite insert size, and will absolutely enable your washi addiction with zero judgment.

And yes, I’m one of those shops. 🖤

What’s happening at Lights Planner Action?

This is our first time officially celebrating Stationery Store Day and I’m going all in:

🆕 Brand new product releases
👕 Exclusive SSD merch (limited quantity!)
📓 FREE notebook just for stopping by — no purchase necessary, in store only)
🎁 Giveaways because everyone loves surprises
💬 Planner chats, sticker swapping, and possibly me crying over how much I love paper people like you

Where?

📍 LPA HQ – 9 Main St  - Suite 2-B2, Sutton, MA
🕐 Saturday, August 2 | 11AM–5PM
🥳 LPA is 1 of 13 amazing stationery shops in Massachusetts participating this year!

Make it a road trip!

There are 13 indie stationery shops across Massachusetts joining in the fun — and I’ve mapped out a route where you can visit 7 shops in under 2 hours. Plan your route, grab your besties, and make a day of it!
