Supa dupa supaclips (TM)

Fri, 11 Jun 2010 10:03:00 +0000

Okay so I’ve blogged these before elsewhere.

But they are just so good.

Yeah paper clips are nice. But these are way smarter. They make your documents look all nice and professional in one easy move.

And they are fun to use.

They are Rapesco Supaclips. You fill the plastic gadget with clips. You find some paper you want to clip together and you slot it in the end of the gadget. There’s a sliding mechanism on the gadget that you push and hey presto a clip pops forward, grabs the pages and holds them together. Nicely and neatly.

And the clips are reusable.

And actually its quite fun to use the gadget to fire clips across the office. But thats a bit naughty so make sure the boss isn’t watching or you are the boss so you can do what you like ;0

Go on make your documents look supa (TM) smart….

Leaning tower of ikea boxes

Mon, 10 May 2010 09:55:03 +0000

I am on a sort of mission to tidy up and sort out.

I don’t like tidying up or sorting out much. So I’ve been trying various tactics to make it seem more fun. Or possibly to delay the inevitable task.

One tactic was to get some nice new shiny IKEA storage boxes.

And because IKEA comes in flat pack you then have to make the boxes, which delays the moment when tidying has to begin.

Here are all the ones I built this weekend.

I’m not sure that’s going to be enough. I might need to go and get some more before I can begin.

Seriously addicted to stationery

I’ve always liked stationery.

Files. Lever Arch. Box. Ring. Card. Spring. Card Wallets.

Notebooks. Small. Large. Hard or softcover. Spiral bound. Stitched. Thick paper. Thin paper. Lines. Squares. Plain.

Pens. Fountain. Ball point. Rollerball. Gel. Fineliner.

Pencils. Propelling and otherwise.

Paper in all its forms.

And these:

And the clips are reusable.

And actually its quite fun to use the gadget to fire clips across the office. But thats a bit naughty so make sure the boss isn’t watching or you are the boss so you can do what you like ;0

(Note)pad

So the Twitter wires are buzzing with views on the launch of the Apple iPad and as usual things are split down love it/hate it lines.

So instead I bring you a range of notepads that I found out about the other day when I won one in a Twitter competition.

Its fair to state here that I am a bit of a stationery junkie. Ordning & Reda, Moleskine, Clairfontaine, Smythson just let me at them. But I can see this range from Whitelines joining the fold, because, well, the lines are white – like it

I know you can’t tell that in this picture but trust me they are and very nice the whole thing is too.

Want one? Admire them here: http://www.whitelines.se/

Buy them on Amazon (and various other good stationery stockists)
