Choosing between two fountain pen inks can come down to a surprisingly specific question: do you want the Fluffy Wool Ball sample, or the Butter and Strawberry Bagel sample? Both are 2mL Kitty Inkpot shading samples intended for trying an ink before committing to a full bottle. The useful difference is in the named theme, collection wording, and a $0.25 price spread-not in the basic sample format.
Quick verdict
Choose Kitty Inkpot Fluffy Wool Ball Shading Fountain Pen Ink if the "Fluffy Wool Ball" name and its "Limited Edition 1 Year Anniversary" description are the main appeal. Choose Kitty Inkpot Butter and Strawberry Bagel Shading Fountain Pen Ink Sample if you prefer the S5 "Crazy Party" Collection wording or want the lower listed price. Both descriptions say the ink's appearance can change across papers, with Midori MD used for the swatch, so paper choice is part of the decision.

Where each product wins
- Fluffy Wool Ball wins for distinctive edition wording: Its title identifies it as "Fluffy Wool Ball," while the description adds "Limited Edition 1 Year Anniversary." That makes it the more specific choice for shoppers drawn to that named release.
- Butter and Strawberry Bagel wins for price and collection identity: At USD 6.25, it is $0.25 below the Fluffy Wool Ball sample. Its title and description also identify it with the S5 "Crazy Party" Collection.
- They tie on trial format: Both are 2mL samples supplied in a little plastic vial, and both are described as shading fountain pen inks.
Product notes
Kitty Inkpot Fluffy Wool Ball Shading Fountain Pen Ink
The Fluffy Wool Ball sample is the more fitting pick when the name itself is central to your choice. Its title clearly identifies a shading fountain pen ink, and the description adds "Limited Edition 1 Year Anniversary," giving this sample a more specific release identity than a generic ink label. It arrives as a 2mL sample in a little plastic vial, which suits a shopper who wants to try the ink before purchasing a full bottle. The trade-off is the USD 6.50 listed price, which places it $0.25 above the Butter and Strawberry Bagel sample. Its condition is also listed as Used, and the 2mL vial is a trial-sized format rather than a full bottle.
Kitty Inkpot Butter and Strawberry Bagel Shading Fountain Pen Ink Sample
Butter and Strawberry Bagel is the practical choice when the S5 "Crazy Party" Collection label or the lower listed price matters most. The full title gives the sample a memorable theme while still identifying it as a shading fountain pen ink sample. At USD 6.25, it sits at the lower end of this comparison, making the $0.25 difference easy to account for if the two names appeal equally. Like its counterpart, it is a 2mL sample in a little plastic vial, so the format is intended for trying the ink rather than supplying a full bottle. The condition is listed as Used, which is an important limitation to weigh alongside the sample size.
Final choice by use case
- Choose Fluffy Wool Ball for the "Fluffy Wool Ball" title and the listed "Limited Edition 1 Year Anniversary" identity.
- Choose Butter and Strawberry Bagel for the S5 "Crazy Party" Collection wording or the USD 6.25 price.
- Choose either if your priority is simply a 2mL shading sample in a little plastic vial; the core format is shared.
The clearest overall decision is therefore theme versus price: Fluffy Wool Ball for its distinct edition wording, Butter and Strawberry Bagel for the lower listed price.
