Must-Have Office Supplies
15
items The office supplies that make my work life 1,000 times easier and more fun. Some of them save me time, some save me frustration, and some just make me happy. No matter what their role, each one is a must-have for a productive, happy office space.
The smooth glide of a gel pen without smears! Hands-down the best pen for everyday use.
Sharpie Gel Pens
This is one of those items where generic brands are never as good so buy the brand name. If you love color coding and need the freedom to move ideas/events/tasks around, these are a definite must have.
Post It Notes Variety Pack
Nothing makes your space look and feel more organized than printed labels. I label everything from file folders to notebooks, flash drives, office supplies (and a million other things outside the office).
Label Maker
Washi tape makes it so easy to add uplifting splashes of color and design to planners, notebooks, office supplies, and more. So much cheaper than buying designer items and you can change up your aesthetic anytime you want!
Washi Tape
I started using page protectors to save me time from hole punching papers to keep in my binders. They also keep papers mess-free and can be written on and erased time and time again for a fraction of the cost of laminating.
Sheet Protectors
These are my favorite binders for items that I take on the go since the flexible cover makes them easy to carry and fit in a backpack or bag. The various dividers are handy for storing all types of documents and supplies. It's like a grown up Trapper...
Five Star Flex Binder 5 Subject
I love the searchability of digital notes but can't break my habit of using pen and paper. My kids gifted me a Rocketbook for Christmas and it was lifechanging. Handwritten notes instantly transformed into digital files.
Rocketbook
Since I spend so many hours each day staring at a computer screen, I started wearing these to protect my eyes. Bonus benefit – I'm sleeping so much better!
Blue Light Glasses
I love color coding, hate the sloppiness of scratched out mistakes, but also don't like writing in pencil. I didn't believe these would really erase completely, but they do! Love these pens!
Frixion Erasable Pens
Another spot-on Christmas gift from my kids. They noticed that I'd get so engrossed in my work, I'd end up warming up my coffee in the microwave 2 or 3 times throughout the day. Now, my coffee stays the perfect temperature all day long no matter how ...
Ember Mug 2 | Heated Coffee Mug
Although it's not marketed to average computer users (it was meant for video game streamers), this little gadget saves me dozens, maybe hundreds, of hours a year. I've programmed each button to the computer functions I use regularly (regular Zoom mee...
Stream Deck
I use so many devices at my desk each day so a charging solution is a definite must-have. I used to have a power strip on the floor and used cord organizers to wrangle the mess, but I much prefer this under desk mounted strip since it makes it easy t...
Under Desk Power Strip
I don't use a paper cutter often, but the 2 or 3 times a year I do, I'm so grateful I have one. It's so much faster than trying to cut straight lines with scissors one or two pages at a time.
Paper Cutter
I originally got this so I could easily turn my webcam on or off when I needed it (it creeps me out to think someone could be watching me through it). Since I have multiple things attached to my computer via USB (speakers, microphone, backup hard drive), I like the option to keep them powered down when I'm not using them, and then having them ready at the touch of a button.
USB Hubs: Electronics
I know, this one seems like an odd item for an office supplies list but it's definitely one of my office must-haves. A personal trainer recommended I swap out my office chair for an exercise ball for at least a portion of my work day and the results ...
