You know those black steel binder clips that hold stacks of paper together and are as ubiquitous in office settings as bitter gossip? These 1-1/4” wide clips are like those, except made of 30mm wire instead of solid steel, and all gold instead of black and silver. In other words, they’re fit for a king or queen, aka your boss. But we’d rather you have them. Power to the people!

Pocket protectors are for nerds (like us) but sheet protectors are for smart and sensible people (like you). Not bed sheet protectors!

Here’s a very tasteful notebook and pen combo from Callaway golf, which chose to lightly brand the notebook with small logos on the bottoms of pages, and a tiny, impressed logo on the back cover. Surplus dealers appreciate this sort of corporate self-effacement. Has something over 60 sheets, lined on both sides with a date line at the top. Measures 6” x 5” with leatherlike black covers with a gray accent, one pocket on the inside cover, and a slot holding a ballpoint pen. Nice gift classy box, too. Surplus Alert: These sets come with a twist retractable ballpoint pen that will likely be all dried up.

The low-profile, approx. 5" wide steel clip stands just 5/16" above the 1/8" thick natural-tan pressboard of this trim clipboard. Measures approx. 12" x 9". Made to slip conveniently into a briefcase, but also has a hole on the backside of the clip for easy hanging.

We’ll send you a pack of (4) per order, but if you’re finally going to get organized once and for all, you’re going to need more than (4).

You could use this jumbo clip to close your bag of chips, and you could write your name on it, or slip your business card into the slot on the front, so your family and co-workers will know to keep their grubby little fingers off your snacks. It's a giant 6" wide x 5" plastic clip with a large magnet on the back and it'll clamp down and hold on your fridge as many as (25) sheets of paper all at once, if you're not into salty snacks. Stick it to the fridge or file cabinet and use it to hold shopping lists, overdue expense receipts, love notes or gentle threats to family, co-workers or both. We'll pick one in red or blue, neither of which will match your fridge or file cabinet, probably.

File these 3/4" Acco® No. 3 brass-plated fasteners under “Things it’s always a good idea to have a healthy supply of.” And then call a friend who can teach you how not to dangle a preposition. They’re those things that have the head of a thumb tack and (2) bendable tines below them, like legs. You’ll get a box of (100)—fasteners, not prepositions—and your hole-punch documents will never be loose or unorganized again. Also a favorite item of science projects and crafters.

Just because you manage your life on a handheld screen doesn’t mean you can’t go old school and jot down some notes on paper.

Has a blue water-resistant cover and moveable pocket dividers that expand, and a spiral guard to prevent those spiral injuries we’ve been hearing so much about lately. Also has a nice pen loop.
