Hi All!
It seems that Fall is just around the corner with all the back to school sales in full effect! I always take this time to freshen up my own desk with some new office supplies as I am a firm believer in using pretty, yet practical, office supplies and accessories in the workplace. Quite frankly, I think it’s a travesty that most employers provide only the bare minimum office supplies. Since the bare minimum doesn’t work for me, I often buy my own supplies to use!
With that being said, I have rounded up some of my favorite desk and office supplies that help me get through the workday. Since work pretty much sucks, you might as well get some motivation to go in by having an eye-catching desk filled with products that you want to use! To me, if I have to show up for work then at least I can look forward to trying out my new gold stapler or my sparkly pencil. I apply the same principal as “When you look good, you feel good.” If I have a good looking office space and supplies to use, then I feel better about working 🙂 Additionally, having a good looking desk at work gets you a lot comments from coworkers – both men and women, and the young and old – they all love to comment on it and honestly, I love a good work chat!
And now let’s get to my favorite items that will help to make your day so much better!
1. As I get older, the more I find I actually need a planner to keep track of everything. I’m not normally a huge Lilly Pulitzer fan when it comes to clothing as I think some of her prints are a bit loud. But, in this planner I find it adorable!
2. This gold desk organizer will help keep everything at your finger tips.
3. One of my favorite places to shop for random home and office accessories is Forever 21. I know it seems unexpected, but I often find tons of cute stuff at really low prices! Quality is surprisingly good too! This gold basket is another F21 find and at less than $6, a steal of a deal.
4. These darling pom pom magnets (being advertised as locker magnets lol) brighten up any magnetic surface, such as a filing cabinet or white board.
5. A chic metallic pencil case for keeping all your precious writing instruments safe.
6. This super cute acrylic pencil cup is v. necessary.
7. Ok, I’m super picky about pens and once I find some that I like, I am loyal for life. BIC Cristal Pens are not expensive – you get a whole pack of multi colored pens for under $4. I have always liked how these pens write and this year they upped their game by creating them in white! Snaps to BIC because I agree 100% that this IS a fun and trendy new design! A++++
8. I own this stapler and I can attest that every coworker wants to test it out and use it!
9. I had been eyeing these pencil pouches for at least two years from Kate Spade. I loved that it came with two pencils, a sharpener, eraser, and a mini ruler – but, I really just did not want to spend $30 on it. However, a few weeks ago I stumbled across a leopard print one at HomeGoods for half the price! I nearly squealed with delight in the store! So you may want to check your local HomeGoods for these, but in the mean time, Nordstrom has this fun, floral one in stock.
10. Another F21 fun find, this letter board is the perfect way to cheer up every grouchy coworker’s mood with quirky phrases and quotes.
11. Rifle Paper makes some of the cutest whimsical art prints. This 17 month planner from Rifle Paper will help to keep you organized day and night and features a sticker page!
12. For some people, I think the planners I featured can be seen as a bit cumbersome and they would prefer something smaller. This small desktop planner is perfect for keeping track of tasks week by week.
13. Ban.do makes some of the cutest office supplies around. These pencils are no exception and would make writing out anything way more fun.
14. Target offers this smaller style planner featuring a chic, marble cover.
15. This stylish planner prompted notepad will surely make to-do lists a snap.
That’s all for now although I could discuss office supply favorites for hours! Let me know what your favorites are and if you love office supplies as much as I do !
