So I am sitting typing up this article from my Moleskine notebook, where I scatter my notes with my favourite pen – the mighty Staedtler 308 Pigment Fineliner, black, 0.4mm, if you must know – the combination of the Moleskine paper and those pens urge me to write (or distractedly doodle). There is my favourite mug (a gift from my beautiful wife) full of aromatic Nespresso Odacio coffee within reach, and my microscopic Sony headphones, whose dark art keeps the cacophony of my chaotic world at bay, are pumping in some deep house – please don’t judge me!

We all have these things: whether it’s a writing implement, a notepad or your favourite tipple in your favourite mug, they physically make you want to use them. They may be exclusively expensive or throwaway cheap, but they all draw us to them; they make us want to do something with them.
We all have our favourites.
