These are very nice 48-page, 5” x 7” cardboard-bound notebooks with themes and some unobtrusive notes/formats that will be easy to ignore if you’re not a Starship captain, artist or astronomer. You pick: the United Federation Captain’s log has a date/location entry on each lined page and fold-out info on the back cover, like a warp-speed conversion table; the Artist’s notebook has unlined ecru pages with an assortment of frame styles as borders and fold-out shading, perspective and composition info on the back cover; the Stargazer’s notebook has 1/4” rules plus a lightly printed 3-1/4” dia circle with 30-degree markings to chart the sky, plus a fold-out back cover with an astrolabe and constellation chart.

This whimsical pack of (30) postcards measures, unsurprisingly, post-card size 5-3/4" x 3-15/16", with non-duplicating images of gravy and bacon, Nikola Tesla, narwhals, spontaneous human combustion, boxing kangaroos, infinity and taxidermy, among many others of that ilk. Those ilks. Whatever--just buy 'em and stop asking so many questions. Blurbs on the back.

What we have here are 96-sheet, white genuine Post-It note pads, 4” wide x just shy of 3” tall with adhesive strips on the top edge. Plus, for mysterious reasons, the samples we received have letters or names (mostly girl names) strung across the top margin in pink, blue or green. Just ignore them and play a little Post-It note roulette. We'll stick our hand in the over-sized box and pull out 10. That’s why they call it surplus and that is why genuine Post-It notes are this cheap.

Like Martha Stewart if you poured honey all over her. Also like these little 4-1/4” x 3-1/4” hardbound books of art-themed sticky notes. You pick: The Bob (The Joy of Painting) Ross pack, with approx (240) notes in large and small sizes with Bob, his easel or landscape scenes like the ones he painted; or the Frames collection, with approx (240) notes with white space inside various frames in large and smaller sizes, to make your notes immortal.

Our tactical twofer is a 6” long x 1/2” dia. aluminum body ball-point pen with black ink, with an automobile window breaker at the other end. In gun-metal gray, as befits things tactical, with a pocket clip on the flat-top cap. Escape from your car, then write us a thank you note.

These Kooties™ are impish little trademarked critters, and in this case they’re on the hardboard covers of these mini-notebooks. Measure 3-1/4” square, top-spiral bound with (71) sheets in each with little Kooties and Kuotes in the Korners. We’ll pick from the (7) assorted Kooties™ on the covers, but they’re all kute. Kinda.

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.

Then, by golly, you need to write them down. We recommend this trio of 48-page unicorn notebooks. Measure 5-1/2" x 3-3/8" with ruled pages and a different unicorn on each cover, plus a keeper inside the back cover that lists pretty things and unicorn lore. Take notes with these at the staff meeting and you’ll likely avoid some ugly assignments.

When is a spiral-bound notebook not just a spiral-bound notebook? When it’s got a turntable embossed on the plastic cover, dude, so that taking notes is like, deejaying, practically. Also when it has a pair of nunchaku (or “nunchuks”) embossed on the cover, with an actual little chain for, like, verisimilitude. Inside are 94 pages of ruled, white 8” x by approx 11” sheets, like that part matters.

Imagine an office supply costume party where all the notebooks had to dress up as something else. We’ll send you a hardshell pocket notebook, 2-5/8” x 4-3/4” with 138 pages that have a very faint dot pattern to keep your handwriting lined up nicely.
