You win some, you lose some? No need to keep switching pens when you have this two-headed ball point pen with a black cartridge at one end and a red one at the other. Perfect for those hand-held profit and loss statements.

Yes indeedy, these are gem clips, the ubiquitous standard basic quotidian paper clips you’ve been using since the 1890s, which means it’s probably time to retire. You typical 1-1/4” steel clips in boxes of (100). 

Behold the first attractively designed electric pencil sharpener since Edward C. Hoffman’s 1943 art deco Electro-Pointer. (You could look it up.) The Spira from X-ACTO® is a rotated rectangular column, 5-3/4” tall x 2-3/4” square, in lipstick red plastic. Plugs in via a wall adapter, and has a hardened steel cutter inside plus a one-touch release on the bottom for emptying the shavings. We see a future classic.

These translucent plastic three-ring binders have 1” rings and measure 10-1/4” x 11-5/8”. You pick the aqua color; the frosted white with a transparent sleeve on the outside front for a title/contents sheet; or the textured translucent white with clear sleeves on the inside of both front and back covers.

These are your classic plastic binders, with (3) 1/2” rings and measuring 11-5/8” x 10-1/4”. Also translucent, which actually makes them classic-plus. You pick purple or dark red.

This little silver plastic basic-function calculator measures 3-1/4" x 5-1/2" with a clear plastic ruler that folds down on both sides. Open it and it looks oddly like a communications satellite.The ruler is millimeters/centimeters only, up to 320mm or 32cm. But it's still a lovely straight-edge, or a gift for a Canadian friend. Runs on a single replaceable button-cell battery, included.

We've got a bundle of three ring binders. All have a 1" diameter standard chrome snap rings. They are all sized for standard 8-1/2" x 11" paper and have a logo on the front promoting a company/product which will make you look very well connected indeed. Covers are stiff white vinyl. 

Filament tape for closing boxes and envelopes that you want to stay closed. It has fiberglass strands embedded lengthwise in it which makes it very hard to tear by accident. You get 10 yds of the stuff, 3/4" wide, in a clear plastic desk type dispenser.

Our clear tape is an uber-sticky 2” X 55 yards. A high-quality tape made in the USA can be used as protective covering over labels or for sealing cartons. And do compare the savings -- even discount stationery catalogs can't touch these prices.

Because they gots more rubber content than your regular, non-superior rubber bands. It says so on the box. They're also slightly darker than "pale crepe gold" in color, which is your traditionally favored rubber band color. Our each is box of approx.(200) Alliance rubber bands, each a 7" long loop without stretching it, and 1/8" thick, in a tissue-style perf-top box. Really, really stretchy. Made in the USA!

Just like buying salami, except you can't take notes with lunch meat, and these pens cost less than sausage. We bought them in bulk, and we're selling them in bulk. Our PKG will get you approx (2) lbs of assorted, but very nice, ballpoint pens with a gallimaufry of logos and names. For future reference, pens weigh in at approx (50) per pound, give or take. 

These miniature versions of the traditional floor fan say "Retro Mini Fan" on them, and the retro part is that the blades and cages are all metal. The handy part is that they're just 5-3/8" dia and the plug is a USB, ready to cool you off right from your (actual) desktop. Tilts 180° up and down and comes with a 4-foot cord. Super quiet, too. We'll pick one in red, blue or black.

Lesser file folders for smaller projects. In recycled plastic, they measure 8" x 9" with (5) tabbed 8-3/4" x 6" sleeves with stickers to mark them, a business card sleeve, pen slot, ruled 30-page 6-3/4" x 5" notepad and an elastic loop closure on the front. You pick green, tan or translucent white.

No, really, these X-shaped thingies (Butterfly Clips) are actually called Ideal clips, although frankly we think they look more like houseflies. Whatever. You get (2) boxes of (50) plated steel clips, 2" long x 1-1/4" wide. Think of them like heavy duty paper clips--great for keeping stacks of paper together, or for sliding onto the folded-over openings of chip and cereal bags.

Undated, universal calendar has (50) month-long sheets, so it's good almost until your brand new car's paid for. Stick it on the fridge with the strip magnet on the back. Sheets are 8" x 6" with a 5-week x 7-day matrix that you fill in. In two shades of blue with orange highlights.

Says so right on the packaging. Measures (pun intended) 18” long x 1-1/2” wide. Has 1/32” increments for the first inch, then 1/16” on one edge and 0-45cm in 1mm increments on the other. Made in England of blue-tinted translucent plastic. (There is no legal penalty for using it at home or in a school.)

Nice mahogany-stained thingy, too, with faux pleatherette sides and a drawer. Measures 7" x 4-3/4" x 4-1/8" with a 6-1/4” wide x 4” deep (with an open front) shelf on top and a slot for a wire in the back. We think it was made as a phone charger caddy. (It’s just wide enough for an iPhone 6 Plus without a case, and would probably take a wireless charger.) Also has a 5-1/4" x 3-9/16" x 1-7/8" drawer, clearly made to hold stuff.

Where else can you find (lightly) scented erasers shaped like giant rings with 1” square jewels? And packed inside clear plastic spheres? We’ll pick (1) in white, yellow, blue, green or another lovely color, but if you simply must have pink we’ve got that, too, and we’ll send it to you.
