Clipp Holder – Small (Set of 4)

These Clipps would be handy for displaying cards or photos, or any other miscellaneous papers you might have lying around. If you look closely at the photograph, you can see that the Clipp is actually bent from one piece of spring steel. The large size has a hole on one side so that you could hang it on the wall if you so desired.

Pinch by Jos Van Der Meulen

Look! How neat are these?

Color Cubes

What do you get the person who has everything? Well, duh. You get them a set of 10 crystal color cube paperweights. Hand cut and polished crystal, these cubes would be oh so pretty upon any surface all spread out or stacked or any which way. I would snap them up myself if I had some money to burn. I wish they were available individually.

(design year: 1929!)

each one a different color (clear, alexandrite, amethyst, aquamarine, beryl, cobalt, eldor, rosalin, smoke, and topaz)

I’m not one for lots of trinkets or doodads on my desk, but I do think that these laughing Buddhas might lift the spirits in the midst of work overload…as well as keep some of those papers right where they’re needed.

#2 Pen & Pencil Set

Quite clever. This pen and pencil set look very similar to the classic #2 pencil we all grew up with…revive the old school style by giving this to somebody who’d appreciate it. Made of lacquered brass barrels (lead and eraser refills included). (And! the packaging looks like a notebook!)

Resolution Tracker

I once read this book called Execution: The Discipline of Getting Things Done by renowned business consultants Larry Bossidy and Ram Charan. Let me give you a synopsis so you don’t have to read it: It’s great to have plans, but the only way to accomplish them is by implementing strategies, which require that you assign the tasks to your minions. In this case, your plans are your New Years Resolutions and your strategy is this Resolution Tracker. And your minions is you.

Includes: 2 interior pockets, 1 โ€œIโ€™ve Got Resolve!โ€ย pencil, 12 Resolution Brief cards, 12 pages each of Resolution Log, Lapse Log, & Reward Log (36 total), 12 Certificates of Accomplishment, and 1 how-to pamphlet (16 pages)

Spiralbound, dual-pocket notebook, 5 x 7 inches

Skull &Crossbones Journal

I am amused by this particular journal, not only because it has a silk twill cover (with tonal diagonal stripes), but also because of who it’s sold by (you’ll have to click on the link to see). I think this would qualify as a good gift, don’t you?

“One hundred fourteen beautiful lined pages with embossed silver edges, a satin bookmark”

“Last pages include a perpetual calendar, international weather information, world time zones and weight and measure conversions.”

Log Pile by Andrew Coates

I think these are my favorite things for today. They’re die cut cork (with repositionable backing), and you arrange them however you feel like, and display your notes or photos on them. I’d like to see them spread out all over the wall, but goodness knows there’s all sorts of options. So if you get them, you’ll just have to be creative.

Box of 12 cork discs.

Blu Dot 2d:3d In/Out Box

Here we go again with the 2d to 3d design. This in/out box would be perfect for all your work-pile separating needs. It has a unique dual-surface mechanism which prevents the mingling of paperwork that has yet to be worked on with paperwork that needs to be worked on.

Acrylic Desktop Organizer

I think acrylic may have run it’s course (has it?), but I still like the idea of having an entirely transparent room.

“Features a tray with a variety of configurable holders, including a tape dispenser, stapler, magnetic clip-cup, and letter holder. Made of clear polystyrene plastic with metal parts.”
