What are your favorite "school supplies"

My favorite is pens. When I used to work as a pharmacy technician I had a collection of pens and pads from the sales reps :)

Those new little sticky thingys... they come in different colors... i forget what they are called...but they sell them in the Post-It section... they are like little tab thingys that stick on... some come in Arrow shapes... good to alert you to a certain page that you need to go back to.

Ohhhh and that new white-out stuff... its not liquid anymore... its on a rolling suspenser... its kind of like tape... its sooo cool!

And walmart has a bucket of baby mini highlighters in all colors... for like 2.89

Fun stuff! Can you tell I am an office supply freak! :rotfl:

I have to go out this week and pick up school supplies for my kids and I also need to get some of my own!
I know notebooks, folders, pens and highlighters...anything else that would be useful? Even fun?
I love office supplies! LOL!

I love office supplies too! :chuckle

I love the 3-ring binders that have the zipper around it--keep my supplies for class nice and neat. I also got a pen/pencil holder that goes into the 3-ring binder. I absolutely love the miniature staplers that they have--fit rit in there!

Yup..and post-it notes and all that other good stuff.

Happy shopping!

Don't forget the Sharpies!!!!!!! I :redbeathe them!!! Different colors, sizes and even retractable :rotfl: .

I love office supplies!!!!! Office Depot knows me by name (that's not weird, it is? :uhoh3: ).

I also love pens of different ink colors, that way I could write my notes (topic in 1 color and the notes in another). I am 1 of those that learn by writing, so I would come home from nursing school and rewrite my notes.

GOOD LUCK !!

Retractable sharpies. Mead's "bungee" folder, they cost a bit more but will last forever. Mine are 2+ years old. My favorite is a four color pen. I find it easier to take notes when I can change color when a professor changes topics/ideas.

My favorite school supply is my new rolling backpack. :) I bought it today.

I absolutely love office supplies! I have so many pens around here!

My favorite/most useful school supply has been notecards and those loose rings similar to the ones on binders. I make my notecards for a test, punch holes in the corner, and loop them together and I have an easy portable study device! I guess a rubberband would work as well but it's not as fun!

I love the highlighters that have the post it tabs built it. I also like pens that don't have caps, I'm always loosing caps. I bought some retractable highlighters and sharpies today for that reason. I also like fun portfolio folders. I bought some Napoleon Dynamite folders for myself and my son at Hot Topic.

i like notebooks and looseleaf paper, with dividers, that way i can keep stuff super organized (i am just tooo anal!!!!) i also love the clear page protectors for my syllabi, and clear plastic pockets that fit into the notebook for handouts and assignments

Yes, those sticky things are wonderful. I call them flags,

Also, the liquid highlighters are wonderful too. Can't get enough of them. :)
