The Magnetic Dry Erase Board from Three by Three Seattle
I’m a big fan of the products that come from my friends over at Three by Three Seattle, they do a great job with their innovative and stylish designs of some really great quality office products. In the past I’ve reviewed their Dry Erase Bamboo Entry Butler which I loved so much that I made it part of my Editors Choice Awards for last year, and this Magnetic Dry Erase Board is a similar product but with enough differences that it warrants taking a look at. Also, big thanks to Gwen for sending this sample over to me for review.
Post-it Notes Grip Pop-Up Dispenser
Posted by: | Comments
Just looks like an ordinary Post-it notes dispenser, right? Well, not really.
This fairly innocuous looking box of Post-it Notes is part of the Post-it “grip” series that I’ve reviewed in the past they are the Post-it notes Grip Pop-up Dispenser. Back in April of last year, I took a look at one of the other items in this line, which was the desk set of Post-it flags with the grip, which I thought was really cool and useful.

Zebra M-701 Stainless Steel Mechanical Pencil
The nice folks over at Zebra offered me a few items to take a look at recently, and one of them was this really cool .7mm stainless steel Zebra M-701 mechanical pencil. I think I’ve made it clear that I’m not a big fan of writing with a pencil, so I’ll keep this focused on the pencil itself and my feelings about pencils in general.

Moleskine Folio Professional Printable Paper for Inkjet and Laser Printers
Back in May when I attended the National Stationery Show, I came across lots of new products from Moleskine, including this Moleskine Folio Professional Printable Paper (via Amazon) for Inkjet and Laser Printers. In this review we will take a look at how it compares to standard printer paper when used with an inkjet printer because in all honesty I don’t think I’ve ever had problems finding paper that works well with laser printers. The paper is 100g ivory paper with rounded edges, and it comes in the above pictured package of 50 sheets.

A Mini Stapler: The PaperPro Nano

Paper Pro Nano Stapler in the Package
Staplers can sometimes be a not so exciting product, they are usually pretty boring looking and don’t offer much in the way of the whole “cool factor” like some other office supplies can. This Nano PaperPro mini stapler changes all of that in more than a few ways though. Between its cool, colorful design, and impressive functionality, this mini stapler really makes stapling a lot more fun, easy and effortless. On top of all of that, this mini stapler is so small that it will easily fit in any drawer, backpack, or laptop bag. It also has a small metal D-ring that goes across the back to allow you to hang this somewhere at your workstation if needed.

The Sun-Star Knock Free Mechanical Pencil
Although I’ve been pretty clear about the fact that I am not a huge fan of regular pencils or mechanical pencils (excluding my Uniball Kuru Toga) I couldn’t resist the urge to pick up the Sunstar Knock-Free Mechanical Pencil from Jetpens. The obvious thing that stands out about this mechanical pencil is that it looks exactly like a standard wooden pencil, except for the blue color…but it is also available in yellow, light blue, and green.
Levenger Aluminum Circa Discs

Levenger Aluminum Circa Discs on Junior and Letter Size Bomber Jacket Covers
In April of last year, I reviewed one of my favorite Levenger accessories, their nickel Circa Discs that I used with my leather Bomber Jacket covers. To my disappointment, by the time I reviewed them, Levenger had already discontinued them. The review received a good number of comments, and the feedback made its way to the folks at Levenger including Levenger’s CEO Steve Leveen (Steve on Twitter) himself. With all of the feedback, from the readers here at OfficeSupplyGeek, and I’m sure countless other emails and phone calls directly to Levenger, they decided to bring back a very similar item, which is what you are looking at in the photo above. These are the new and improved Levenger aluminum Circa Discs that have replaced the old and discontinued nickel versions.
OfficeMax $100 Gift Card Giveaway for Back to School Season
Posted by: | Comments
Our friends over at OfficeMax have been kind enough to offer up another $100 gift card just in time for back to school season! You will have 4 chances to enter and win this $100 OfficeMax gift card, so read below for the official rules, and please keep in mind that this contest is open to US residents only.
Before we get to the contest rules though, I wanted to share a quick tip that I learned from a recent study that OfficeMax conducted about back to school shopping for parents this season. In the study, they discuss different aspects of when people like to start shopping for school supplies, and what thought process is behind the purchase decisions, but my favorite part was the part that looked at who was spending what on school supplies. They discovered that on average parents will spend $126 on school supplies this year, but here comes the tip…when they drilled deeper into that statistic, they found that on average, Moms expect to spend $102, while Dads expect to spend an average of $152 on school supplies. So to all of you kids out there, definitely see if you can get Dad to head down to OfficeMax with you when its time to pick up those school supplies.
So now for the reason you are all here, the $100 OfficeMax gift card. There will be one winner, but you will have the chance to enter up to 4 times as follows:
Sharpie Liquid Pencil Review
Posted by: | Comments
The Sharpie Liquid Pencil
When I first heard about the Sharpie Liquid Pencil (via Amazon), I was excited to get my hands on one and try it out because I’ve come to expect great things from Sharpie and Newell Rubbermaid (ie. Stainless Steel Sharpie, Sharpie Pens, and the self rotating, always sharp Uniball Kuru Toga Mechanical Pencil) and their new products. Lucky for me, the kind folks over at Sharpie helped me to get my hands on one of these a little bit early so I could put it through some tests, so as always a big thanks to Sharpie and Newell Rubbermaid for their continued support here.
