Inspired by my eraser. I have a favorite eraser. It's white. It was a freebie from a vendor back in my working days and it's probably a decade old, yet I treasure it because it removes pencil marks cleanly, no crumbs. The other day, when I thought I'd lost it,* I was legitimately sad.
This got me thinking about office supplies. I love them. Even though the world is increasingly more digital than paper-based, I still get excited in the office supplies aisle.
Here are 13 of the most popular items ordered from a nearby Staples store.
1. Compostable packing peanuts
2. Recycled manila file folders
3. Academic year (July 2026 to June 2027) planner
4. Pentel RSVP ballpoint pens
5. Ruled canary yellow notepads
6. Corrugated cardboard file box with lid
7. Sharpie permanent markers
8. BIC Wite Out correction tape
9. Post-It "sign here" message flags
10. Astrobrights colored papers in pink
11. Anti-slip faux leather desk pad
12. Staples One Touch Stapler (on sale)
13. Self-seal security #10 envelopes
While I appreciate the above 13 workhorses, none of them makes my heart skip a beat the way pencils, erasers and binder clips do.
How about you? Do you like shopping for office supplies?

*Though where could it have gone? Truly baffling. Glad I found it in the sofa cushions.
