This handy translucent plastic pencil case, approx 7" x 2-1/2" x 1” deep, has a slide-out bottom, like a desk drawer.

Covers come in green, blue, black and red, and we'll pick because we're on a roll

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.

If they’d have had trapper binders like this when we were in junior high, we probably would have made straight As. Yeah—that’s it—it was our binder that made us get those Bs and that one C. Mystery solved! This Mead® 12-3/4" x 12-7/8" x 3" (3)-ring binder with 2” dia rings and an expanding accordion file with tabbed dividers is covered in blue sewn, lightly padded nylon-like fabric.

From our selection of things you didn’t know you needed until you saw them, these 32-sheet notebooks have lightly ruled pages that are 8-1/4” x 5-3/4”. Open them up and place the center crease on your nose, however, and they turn into a mask. You pick the Gas Mask notebook, with eye holes; the Zombie mask, ditto; or the pink Pig mask, that you just look over the top of. Perfect for adding a little something to Monday morning meetings.

Or are you just under heavy pressure to start writing right now! We know, we know.

We tugged and pulled on one of these nickel-plated looseleaf binder rings for five minutes before realizing you push the loop halves sideways to open them. So yeah, they’re not budging unless you want them to. These (50) “highest quality” #7 rings are 2-3/8” dia and suitable for keys, samples, invoices and swatches, as well as looseleaf paper. Not for use in bull noses. They’re strong, but come on.

We have a bunch of Apollo Glowpro light boxes--you know, for viewing slides, tracing stencils and tattoo designs, drawing and drafting--but their power cords have been clipped. So we’re selling them for parts since so many of you Surpies are DIYers. Every part is included, except the aforementioned power cord. Box measures 18” x 11-1/2" x 3-3/4” thick and operates on 120VAC, 13 Watts, with a 5000K fluorescent lamp. Weighs 8 lbs, so it’s meant for a desktop even if it says “portable.” This is a sturdy piece, not some cheapie. All-metal case has a baked enamel base, folding handle and tilt stand. Has an on/off switch on the side, and it’s wall mountable. Sweet!
