Some Presidents Day Office Supply Deals and Sales
By · Comments
I guess Presidents Day has become synonymous with shopping, just like many other holidays, so here are a few home office supplies that you can get some good deals on.
-OfficeMax has a Buy 2 Get 1 Free deal on some Sharpies that includes the Stainless Steel Sharpie, Sharpie Pen Grip, Regular Sharpie Pens, Sharpie Pen RT, and some other regular Sharpie markers.
-If you are looking for a new printer, OfficeMax also has a ton of printers on sale for up to 55% off but specifically, I can recommend the Epson Artisan that they have on sale which I own and absolutely love, but never had a chance to do a review on yet.
-As usual, GoldSpot seems to have free shipping on orders over $99, and JetPens has their free shipping on orders over $25
-Staples has a Presidents Day Sale with all kinds of stuff from flash memory, to laptops, to monitors, to paper shredders to software, and a ton of other things.
Enjoy!
A Notebook in Disguise

Is this a netbook or a notebook?
When I spoke with the nice folks at DayCraft, I asked them about their line of notebooks that looked like laptops, and although they told me that they were not going forward with production because of quality concerns, they agreed to send me one anyway. So keeping in mind that you will never be able to buy one of these, I thought Id share anyway because I thought it was a great idea, and visually, it looks pretty cool.

Once you check out the review, be sure to read the rules about how you can enter to win one of these for your own home office.
Erasable File Folder Labels

Erasable File Labels Starter Kit by Label Once
File labels are something that we have probably all dealt with, I know that personally I’ve found myself either trying to remove or reapply labels, because I made a mistake when writing on them, and it is usually a frustrating exercise. The folks at Label Once came up with the Erasable File Folder Labels that I picked up from Organize.com as a way to deal with the re-labeling frustration that we have probably all dealt with when it comes to our home office supplies.

LaCie iamaKey USB Flash Drive Review

LaCie iamaKey USB 2.0 Flash Drive Package
One major category of cool office supplies that I’ve been neglecting are office electronics, so when I recently filled my old USB flash drive to capacity, I thought it would be a good opportunity to review whatever new one I decided to pick up. I remembered seeing these LaCie iamaKey flash drives somewhere a few months ago and I liked the idea, so I decided I would give one a try. Lucky for me, a friend of mine that I have been helping with a project wanted to get me a small gift to say thanks, and he knew I was looking at this flash drive, so technically I didn’t pay for this, but it also was not given to me by the manufacturer for review.
Daycraft Signature Notebook with 100g Paper

The Daycraft Signature Notebook with Aqua Cover and Orange Accents
Back in December, I was contacted by the people who manufacture the Daycraft series of notebooks and planners to see if I would try out some of their products and review them here. At first I was a bit reluctant because they were not yet offering their products here in the US, however being that they are so popular in China, and that they do have plans for introducing these into the US soon, I figured I should check them out. I was also intrigued because the paper in this notebook is advertised as 100 gsm, putting it a shade thicker and heavier than what you would find in the 90 gsm Rhodia Web Notebooks that are always a pleasure to write in.

OXO Good Grips Highlighters from Staples
About a month ago I reviewed the OXO Good Grips Retractable ballpoint pens that are sold exclusively at Staples, and while they functioned as expected I wasn’t as impressed with them as I usually am with other OXO Good Grips products. With that in mind, I thought it was finally time to review the

The Kokuyo Inkga-e Refillable Whiteboard Marker
Dry erase markers are a fairly standard office item to have around, but when it comes to refillable dry erase markers, there are not a ton of options. Today we will take a look at the Kokuyo Inkga-e Refillable Whiteboard Marker that I recently picked up from JetPens.

A stash of Marbig Notebooks from Australia
I’m not sure how many of you are aware, but Australia Day is coming up on January 26th, and I just so happen to have been given some cool office supplies from the folks at Marbig who is actually an Australian office supplies company. I thought this would be the perfect time to review them to help celebrate the holiday with our Australian friends.

Inside the Bottle of Fahrney's Midnight Blues Fountain Pen Ink
Back in June I visited Washington DC and did a tour of the local stationery stores to see what cool office supplies I could dig up, and one of the places I stopped was Fahrney’s Pens. While I was there ogling over all of the great pens and notebooks, I also picked up a bottle of their Midnight Blues Ever Write Fountain Pen Ink.
