Top 5 Must-Have Seventeen Stationery Pieces
After testing dozens of fan-made items, here are the five that deliver both style and substance.
1. 'Fighting' Spiral Notebook
This A5 notebook features a textured card cover with the 13 members' silhouettes arranged in the iconic 'Nana Tour' formation. The pages are 80gsm acid-free paper - thick enough to handle gel pens without ghosting. The spiral binding lies flat, perfect for study sessions at the library or coffee shop.
Why it's worth it: Most K-pop notebooks use flimsy covers that curl after a month. This one uses 1.2mm board stock. I've owned similar notebooks that lasted an entire semester without wear. At $12-$16, it's a no-brainer.
2. Diamond Edge Gel Pen Set
Six pens in black, blue, red, green, purple, and pink. Each barrel has the SVT diamond logo laser-etched near the clip. The ink flows smooth and dries fast - no smears when you're writing quickly. The 0.5mm tip gives you fine lines for dense notes.
Many Carats use these for color-coding their notes. Red for deadlines, blue for concepts, purple for SVT-related thoughts. It's a system I've seen work in my own business planning.
3. 'Hip Hop Unit' Weekly Planner
This planner covers July 2026 to December 2027, so you're set for the full school year. Each month opens with a stylized lyric from Hip Hop Unit tracks like 'GAM3 BO1' and 'Back It Up'. The weekly spread has a vertical layout with hourly slots from 7 AM to 9 PM.
The binding is lay-flat, and there's a pen loop on the side. I appreciate that the cover is laminated for durability - coffee spills happen. At $18-$22, it's a solid investment for organized Carats.
4. BSS Sticky Note Cube
Boo Seok Soon fans, this one's for you. A 3-inch cube of sticky notes in pastel yellow, pink, and blue. Each note has a tiny 'BSS' watermark in the corner. The adhesive is strong enough to stay on binders but removes cleanly.
These aren't just cute. The paper is 75gsm - holds up to ink better than typical sticky notes. Use them for quick reminders, vocabulary cards, or marking pages in textbooks.
5. 'Super' Magnetic Bookmark Set
Five bookmarks, each 1x3 inches, with designs from 'HOT', 'Darl+ing', 'Super', '_WORLD', and 'F*ck My Life' eras. They're printed on 400gsm card stock with a matte finish and a thin magnet strip on the back. Stick them on your locker or binder when not in use.
These are practically indestructible for bookmarks. I've had mine for two years and the colors haven't faded. At $6-$8 per set, they make excellent sharing gifts for study groups.
