Pink Ink Blog

This one is pretty cool – because no matter how many different places I have with the date on it, I seem to always be searching.  I feel with something like this it’s hard to miss.  Also, I’m a sucker for things that have a dual purpose and at the bargain price of $5 — how can you go wrong.  Get yours at – you guessed it – Spoon Sisters

“Never enough room on your desk to keep all the essentials? This 3-story tin is a nifty place to store small office essentials, plus it’s even a calendar. Simply swivel the compartments to set day, date and month. It measures a mere 3 ½H x 2” W x 2”D. Paper clips, elastic bands and push pins included.”

I cannot believe I am just now finding about about Spoon Sisters!! OMG, I feel like a part of me would have been totally different – would I have know about this before the age of 24. I imagine I’d have been a better gift giver at the very least.

Get ready for pages and pages of #PinkPicks from these ladies – but for today – something that even I can appreciate.  Dog bone and heart shaped paper clips. I don’t think anything more needs to be said…

Well, most of you know that I prefer staples over paper clips, but I may even prefer this over staples!  It is much more eco-friendly, and pretty cool.

These staple-free-staplers cut a small flap and a notch in the paper, then it folds the flap back into the notch which keeps the paper stuck together.  I am not a huge fan that it’s shaped like a cat (I prefer dogs, Chihuahuas), but at least it’s a pink cat.

Get this along with a TON of other great stuff at ThinkGeek.com (on of my favorite places to go for gifts).

As some of you know, my first blog referenced that I hate paper clips.  I would like to amend that and say that I loathe paper clips.  Many of my readers and tweeple have asked, “Why do you hate paper clips?”  So, let me count the ways…

-When you have a stack of papers, all in paper-clipped groups — they don’t keep the pages together.

-Even when you put the clips on the sides — things don’t stay together much better.

-They aren’t cute.

-Even the colored paper clips, that are a bit cuter than the standard, don’t hold anything together.  The vinyl coating makes them suck.

-Microsoft word’s help function, that doesn’t help anyone is a paper clip.

Staples keep everything together so much better, and even more awesome that staples are binder clips.  I LOVE BINDER CLIPS.  They serve so many purposes, and come in a billion different sizes.  My favorite ones are super tiny.  Our old receptionist once ordered them by accident, and I’ve been obsessed ever since.
