 So, I have a complicated relationship with the kind of bujos they parade around on instagram in that they look pretty but I know they'd take me enough time that they would defeat the purpose

HOWEVER, I'd still like to have some kind of supplies like the fancy washi tapes or vintage paper stickers every IGer, however everything I find seems to be shipping from China. Is there really no EU-based shop that mass imports and sells the kind of thing I'd find here for example? I mostly feel guilty about having a tiny parcel of stickers and tape shipped all the way from China just for me...

What about high street stores? I got some washi tape from Poundland. Wilkinsons also does more craft stuff. It doesn't have to be high end stores like Hobbycraft to find the basics. I did get some stickers shipped from ebay but one small envelope isn't worse than sending postcards from holidays? :)

I don't decorate my own bujo much, I've just found a way that it works with minimum effort for me, the tape is mostly now for labelling specific pages I need to find and update (eg list of movies I've seen). A bujo works best when you find what works for you. I'm convinced some people must spend hours prettying up their book which is fine, but I haven't got the energy for that when I could be doing something else!
