Homeware Reviews

I’m fairly sure just about everyone has heard of those indispensable sticky notes called Post-Its by the brand 3M. My office walls are decorated with them, I seem to be constantly reaching for one for some reason or another. I love the brightly coloured sets and I have several different shaped Post-it notes, brilliant for prioritising my notes along the edge of my desk!

My children have a selection for their school work. They are perfect for highlighting pages as they come in small little individual arrows, and as a ruler with little tabs which peel off and attach neatly to mark pages.

Ingeniously, they are now available in a cute pop up dispenser in a variety of shapes, such as handbags, karate men and pink hearts.

What’s the point I hear you say? Well, apart from the fact that it looks nice and organised on your desk, there’s also the added advantage of being able to grab a Post-It note one-handed, very useful when you’re on the phone and need to scribble something down fast or when you’ve a pen in one hand and a child in your arms! The dispensers are quite heavy so they don’t overbalance when you’re removing a note and they really are a great idea for adding a touch of fun to your work space.

The dispensers are easy refillable with 76x76mm Post-It notes so it’s not just a single use throw away item. I’m getting a few of these for teacher Christmas presents. They’re novel, fun and useful. They would also make an ideal Christmas pressie or a stocking filler for a family member.

My daughter loves the pink heart and I have the handbag dispenser, a perfect imitation of my ‘longed-for’ Mulberry bag!

These are available on Amazon priced at £8.99. What next will those clever people at Post-It think of?

The Scotch Magic Tape Dispenser is one to check out – Ralph the Dog sure takes the biscuit! This is set to add a little bit of fun to any workdesk, I just love it. Ralph comes complete with a roll of magic tape and he is the perfect stocking filler for anyone with a desk, adding a cute quirky touch.
