One of the things that makes organizing fun is the wide range of products available. When giving presentations on office organization, I always reminded the audience that unless there is a corporate standard that dictates what employees have on their desks, they should choose things that reflect their personality and make them feel good, as well as being functional.

fashionable desk accessories

Yesterday I received a flyer from Grand & Toy, which I always enjoy, and was delighted to see two new products from 3-M, shown above. Wouldn’t they be perfect for the office of a fashion designer?

I’m a cat lover, and the items on my desk include:

  • a notepaper dispenser with cat photos on it
  • a china paperclip holder with two cats on it
  • a coffee mug with a cute cat picture on it which holds my pens, scissors, etc. (the handle is cracked, so I can’t safely use it for beverages anymore)
  • the box the above mug came in which has the same picture on it, and which holds elastic bands

I didn’t plan that – all of the items were gifts – but it’s nice to be surrounded by things I enjoy!
