Anyone tried the same idea but with Asian stationery? There's always been a huge array of crazy stuff when I've browsed stationery sections of department stores in Thailand, China, etc. I'd try it myself, but I think there'd need to be someone on the ground with direct, cheap access sourcing the product.

Lightweight, should be cheap to ship, etc.

Hey cool, that's a great idea for another subscription club I could launch off the current code/customerbase.

Crazy stuff at stationery sections? What do you mean exactly?

Asian stationery is often pretty peculiar. Bizarre and cutesy characters, Engrish slogans, colour combos and so on. I think someone could put together packs of pens, pads, erasers, etc and have a crack. Wish I were over there to try it.

Would partner with someone who was there on the ground and handle design and so on if anyone was interested.

Jetpens.com does this but not as a subscription model.
