The Rapesco Supaclip Emoji Paper Fastener isn't the first paper binding system I've reviewed, however it is the first I've reviewed that has emoji faces painted on the clips. Obviously that is a huge game changer. I picked up this version right here from Amazon where there are multi-color, silver, pink, and pink smiley face versions available. … [Read more...]
NoteTower Desktop Organizers for your Desk and Monitor
The folks responsible for the NoteTower product line were kind enough to send some samples of their whole lineup over for a review as well as an upcoming giveaway. As with any supplied product, the standard disclaimer comes along with it that yes the product was free, but no the free product doesn't change my mind about the usefulness and quality of the product. With that out of the way, there are 4 distinct items in the NoteTower line that you see … [Read more...]

Gold Staples Reviewed
A while back I saw these 14K Gold Plated Staples and mentioned them in a post, and I had a few people mention that they wanted to see a review. Who am I to deprive people of their review of some opulent gold plated office supplies like these? So here they are, presented in a nice black velvet jewelry box. You are looking at 25 (labeled as 24, but I counted 3 times) 14K gold plated staples. The first question most people have will be the price, so … [Read more...]
I Only Buy Solid Gold Staples
Don't worry, reading the headline for this post may lead you to think I've lost my mind, but that was a quote that caught my attention the other day when watching TV. It was a quote from the above NY Lotto commercial, which is pretty funny if you watch it. Hearing a voice say "I only buy solid gold staples" is certainly something that will grab my attention, so after I realized what it was, it still made me want to do some research to see if such a thing … [Read more...]
MAX Sakuri Flat Stapler
Its scary how well Amazon knows me, they suggested this MAX Sakuri Flat Stapler "based upon my shopping trends" which I guess consists of random cool office supplies. I'm glad they did suggest it though, because its a pretty unique little stapler. … [Read more...]
Alternative to Thumbtacks The Q-Pin
If you were looking for an alternative to thumbtacks...you're welcome. These Q-Pins (via the Q-Pins website) were sent to us by the manufacturer to take a look at for this review and although reluctant at first, I've definitely taken a liking to this creative and very useful product. As always, although this product was provided for free (as well as a free package for a giveaway later) that does not change the views expressed here. … [Read more...]

Quirky Align Stapler
Here is another cool office supply that I picked up from Quirky recently, its the Align Stapler. As you can see from the box, its main competitive advantage is that it detaches from its base allowing you to extend the reach further than that of a standard stapler. … [Read more...]
Sun-Star Stickyle Pen-Style Stapler
The other day we reviewed some colored staples that surprised us by not having their color flake off, and mentioned that we would follow up with a review of the unique stapler we used with them. Today we have that review of the Sun-Star Stickyle Pen-Stye Stapler. That's a huge mouthful. Again, this is a sample product from our friends at JetPens that was given to us free of charge for this review. … [Read more...]
Max Colored Staples That Actually Work
We have tried multiple times here to find some colored staples that actually work and hold the color on the staples once they are actually stapled with. As you can see in some of our previous reviews here and here you can see that colored staples tend to have the color flake off once you actually use them. Before we go much further into our review of these Max Colored Staples, I want to mention that these were sent to us free of charge from our friends … [Read more...]
Colored Staples – Take Two
Three years ago we reviewed some colored staples by Swingline and the results were pretty bad. Since it has been so long it seemed like a good idea to try and seek out some other colored staples that might perform better. Today we are taking a look at the colored staples offered by Officemate. … [Read more...]
