The Staples Better Divider with Sliding Tabs
Posted by: | CommentsI usually enjoy a stop at my local Staples to see what kind of stuff they have, but as much as I love it there, they dont usually have what I consider to be really unique office supplies because they obviously need to cater to the larger market of folks who just need the basics. I was surprised when I saw the better divider sitting on the shelf a few weeks ago when I stopped there, because it looked like such a great idea.
The Booksling Bookmark and Dual Pen Holder
Posted by: | CommentsThe Booksling by Everyday Innovations is a very practical and helpful tool that I had the chance to use while on my recent flight to CA. I dont know if it technically fits into the office supplies category, but its close enough for me, maybe its a reading tool? Either way, no matter what you call it, I really like this thing.
Levenger Circa Nickel Discs Update
Posted by: | CommentsA few days ago I posted a review and went on and on about how great I thought the Levenger Circa Nickel Discs were, and how I was sorry to see that Levenger had discontinued them. I knew that Levenger had discontinued them, but I was hoping that somehow they might reconsider and make them again, and also make them in the larger 1″ size. I pretty much knew it was not likely, however I felt like I had a forum to voice my opinion, so I should do it.
To my surprise I ended up getting an email from Mr. Steve Leveen, the CEO of Levenger, and he told me:
“I did check into it and find that, unfortunately, they did not sell well enough to keep in our line. I happen to like them very much myself (and also the Kyoto discs, which I just switched to). ”
This just goes to reinforce the message that Levenger is extremely customer focused. I have a good understanding of how busy the CEO of any company can be, and the fact that Mr. Leveen took the time to look into this and send me an email to let me know the situation was really impressive to me. The respect and commitment that Levenger has to their customer base is something that every other company should be aware of and try to emulate, and it is one of the reasons that I have no problem continuing to spend my hard earned money on their great products.

The matching Letter Size and Junior Size Levenger Circa Bomber Jacket Notebooks with the Nickel Discs.
So now that I know for sure that Levenger wont be making any more of the nickel Circa Discs, I’ve decided to convert my Letter size Circa notebook from the 1″ plastic discs to the 3/4″ nickel discs since I bought an extra set of them. I just love the way that these look on my my Circa Bomber Jacket notebooks.
Levenger Nickel Disc Review
Posted by: | CommentsI dont want to make a practice of doing office supply reviews on items that are not currently available, however I am making an exception for this review because I love this product so much. Unfortunately, to the best of my knowledge, Levenger is no longer making this item, so my far fetched hope here is that this review gets so much attention and so many comments that Levenger decides they really need to start making these again…and this time in multiple sizes.
So these are just like your standard 3/4″ Levenger Circa discs, but instead of being made of plastic, they are brass underneath and nickel plated. I’ve been looking at these for a while, in fact I mentioned that I wanted them in my original review on the Levenger Junior Size Circa Bomber Jacket Notebook back in December. Read More→
