I’ve said it before, I love stationary. I have a bit of a thing for it, if you will. Theres nothing more satisfying than picking out all new pens to go in a new pencil case, and making sure everything co-ordinates. Having 5 types of sticky notes, because you’re obviously going to make REALLY IMPORTANT NOTES on things with them. Buying a notebook everytime you decide to make a clean start, despite the fact that you not only have loads of empty notebooks at home, but your current notebook only has a few pages used in it.
So, this website, Present&Correct, was a bit of a bad one for me to go on to.
Just look at that front page! I want everything on there. But I’ve tried to narrow it down to a few things, so here are my picks from Present & Correct.
I love the Homework Pencil Case because its made of thin leather (so would hold up reasonably well in a bag) and is really cute. Maybe I’m just drawn to it by the neatness of the photo. Look at it!
The Book Band & Pen Holder is originally from Japan, and they are designed to keep all of your books together nice and neat. Its the sort of thing that I always wanted as a kid who read too many American teen books. Sweet Valley High has many things to answer for.
This is one of those things that when you think about it, is a bloody sensible idea. Something that you think “Well, why didn’t I think of that?”. The 5 Hole Pencil Sharpener is something that I think I should buy – not for my desk, but for my make up box!
I’m not sure why a box of rubbers (um, erasers for you Americans and people with filthy minds) appeals to me. Maybe its the way its been photographed. Honestly, take a picture of something in a really lovely way, and I’ll probably want to buy it. The P&Correctional Facility is a handprinted box of 6 new & vintage erasers from all over the world. Except this would be pretty useless for me because I would be too afraid to use them!
What do you buy the person who has everything (or nothing) when they start a new job? How about one of these Office in a Jars? Unfortunatly it doesn’t come with all the other bits that you’ll need to survive office life. Such as a baseball bat.
So simple. So effective. So boring (some might say. Shut up. I like this sort of thing.) The Pocket Clip Pencil has a clip carved into it, so you can attach it to your notebook, or wherever. I love things like this!
Must get off this website now, otherwise this little “feature” of mine will need to be renamed “What has gotten me further into debt this week?”
That is a porn site you have linked to in this post. Evil.
I must not spend money.

Help!
P.S. I love the keyboard desk brush. My keyboard at work is revolting. Also, the elephant pot.
Oh my goodness.
POCKET CLIP PENCIL.
Nothing will EVER be invented that is as bloody brilliant as that.
I was one of those kids, that despite having lenty of working pencils and pens and thngs from the year before, insisted that I have all new pens and a new pencil case and things for school after the summer holidays. And it all had to be pretty.
I love that Homework Pencil Case, I might have to buy one for my bag. My High School Musical pen tends to get lost in my bag :(
Also, best sentence ever – ‘Unfortunatly it doesn’t come with all the other bits that you’ll need to survive office life. Such as a baseball bat.’
