Some stylin' new office products

29 May 2008

The office superstore Staples has developed a new line of office supplies for people who appreciate “creativity and style in the workplace.” They commissioned a survey that revealed that more than half of workers reported that having stylish office supplies gets them noticed in the workplace. This statistic from the survey results made me smile:

When asked what is noticed first in business meetings, 82 percent of respondents first notice an office supply item such as a stylish journal chic notebook, file folders and pens, versus someone’s shoes.

I know that’s true for me. I’m always on the lookout for attractive office products. They’re more fun to use.

The survey was conducted in association with the launch of Staples new product line, M by Staples.

I was sent a few of the products and attended a tele-press conference for journalists and organizing bloggers, hosted by organizer and author Donna Smallin.

I tell you what: these are some good-looking products. Check out the line.

These are some pretty and fun office products!

There are journals and file folders, naturally. But it goes beyond that. I particularly like this binder clip:

That's the best looking binder clip I've ever seen.

And I love these magnets:

Such lovely magnets!

Alas, St. Louis doesn’t have a Staples store. Some of the products are available online, but more are available in the brick-and-mortar Staples. I’m told that they’ll be introducing new M by Staples patterns each fall and spring. You can bet that next time I’m in a city with a Staples (which shouldn’t be long—even my little home town of Walla Walla, Washington has a Staples), I’ll be going in to check it out.
