A 3-pack of notebooks for introverts. These 48-page lined notebooks measure 5-1/2" x 3-1/2" and have grocery store-paper-bag-color cardboard covers, pretty much what you find in your Moleskinny notebooks, but at less than 1/4 the price. Plus no strangers will talk to you on the bus because these are labeled "private thoughts," "don't talk to me," and "people to avoid" on the covers. They've got a pic of a tiny person reading at the bottom of the pages, but so what? From our friends at Archie McPhee.

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.

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.

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.

Measure 3" x 4" with the familiar adhesive along one long edge. You’ll get (100), (25) each in neon pink, yellow, orange and turquoise, just like always, but these are Stick-It! notes because the big guys copyrighted Post-it®, and without the !.

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.

This 6" x 8", 50-sheet ruled notepad mimics an iTablet screen, to make you more comfortable writing on actual paper. (Use a pencil, the original stylus.) As a bonus, it has a magnetic strip on the back so you can stick it on the fridge, which you shouldn't try with your tablet.

An embarrassed jellyfish. Also this 50-sheet pad of 3" square sticky notes, guaranteed to stand out among all the little pale boring ones. You'll get (3) pads in your package in assorted bright neon colors; we've seen pink, yellow and orange so far. Say that three times fast.

The original genuine real signature classics from 3M, 3” square in that familiar yellow, just in smaller pads than usual. Our each is a staggering (28) pads with (16) notes in each. Think about it--that’s enough for an entire classroom.

A pin-striped morning glory vine. Also these 4” square light blue Post-It® Super Sticky notes with 3/4” adhesive strips on the back and 5/16” blue rules on the front. Just (11) sheets to a pad but our each is (10) pads. Kids love Post-Its, so buy a few packs for the entire class.
