Getting organised – It’s World Stationery Day!

This year I was asked to be a National Stationery Week blogger, and to help spread the word about great stationery that gets people inspired to write and create amazing things.

Review: Kokuyo Harinacs Medium 6 Sheet Staple-less Stapler

When this product arrived for review, as part of my role as a National Stationery Week blogger, I was a mixture of sceptical and excited. It sounded fab, a stapleless stapler – but could it be too good to be true?

I used to use a stapler every single day at my old admin job and have many not-so-fond memories of running out of staples, or having to pick them out in order to shred some files. The idea of a gadget that both never runs out & doesn’t cause problems with shredding sounded great to me – things only a lowly paper pusher can truly appreciate I think!

Review: Zebra Z-Grip Ballpoint Pens

These zebra pens are a joy to write with; they give you a smooth writing experience and I haven’t had any problems with air bubbles or ink flow. The range of colours they come in is great; I just love the light blue. They are vibrant and actually show up against your paper, unlike some coloured pens I have used in the past which are so pale as to be unusable.
