National Stationery Week: Time to #PickUpAPencil in Your Shed Office
It’s that time of year again, sheddies!
While National Shed Week focuses on the structure and style of our garden escapes, this week—May 11th to May 17th, 2026—is all about the tools we use inside them. It’s National Stationery Week, a fantastic UK-based campaign that champions the power of handwriting and creativity in an increasingly digital world.Many of you have turned your sheds into incredible outdoor offices, studios, and creative workshops.

We’ve seen “shed-repreneurs” running successful blogs and businesses from the bottom of their gardens, with over a fifth of people creating outdoor offices complete with desks, notepads, and pens. Whether you’re sketching out your next big build, drawing up plans for a garden project, or just trying to boost your creativity and concentration, putting pen to paper is proven to help. The team at Ryman is celebrating National Stationery Week with a focus on “The Power of the Pencil” and the brilliant German stationery brand Staedtler, using the perfect hashtag: #PickUpAPencil.
