It’s that time of year…and you have to think of something creative for the office grab bag.  We have come up with our top 5 picks that the recipient will actually appreciate, while staying within your budget.

#5 Business Card Case/Organizer

Cardinal Stafford Business Card Ring BinderAvailable in many different sizes and configurations, this useful accessory will help wrangle all of those business cards scattered about the office.  A basic business card wallet or case will allow the recipient to keep a stash of their own cards in one place and protected from shmutz.  There are other business card organizers with additional features like: alphabetical tabs, refill and expansion inserts, a note pad, storage pockets and pen loops.

#4 Personal Label Printer

The recipient may not appreciate the power of this gift at first glance, but I guarantee that, once they start using it, they would find themselves lost without it.  This is a great gift for anyone in the office.  The disorganized person will find it to be an easy way to get their piles on order.  The super organized person will be labeling everything on their desk before the day is over.


#3 Wireless/Bluetooth/Notebook Mouse

Logitech LX8 Cordless Laser MouseAnyone who uses a laptop on a regular basis knows, the integrated trackpad can slow you down.  There are many wireless mice available with optical sensors and USB or Bluetooth connectivity.  You can find a variety of sizes, depending on how it will most commonly be used.  A standard-size mouse is useful for someone who uses a laptop as a desktop replacement, but a smaller mouse is easy to slip into a carrying case if the laptop is used on the road or while traveling.

#2 PaperPro® Stapler

PaperPro_StaplerNo desktop should be without one of these staplers.  They offer power-assisted stapling which allows you to staple up to 25 sheets of paper with one finger.  They have a jam-free operation and use standard staples.  There are several sizes available.  The PaperPro Nano®, which can effortlessly power throughPaperPro_Nano 12 sheets of paper and fits in the palm of your hand.  On the other end of the spectrum, the PaperPro® High Capacity Stapler can staple up to 60 sheets with the pressure of just two fingers.  Of course these also are available in many sizes in-between for an average desktop stapler replacement.

Our #1 Pick for The Office Grab Bag is…

A STAINLESS STEEL SHARPIE®

Stainless Steel SharpieSharpie is a standard supply in everyone’s desk – even Meredith loves Sharpie (you watch The Office, right?).  This one takes the standard Sharpie to the next level.  The ink cartridge unscrews and is replaceable, so this marker will last forever.  Sharpie Stainless Steel Marker features a stainless steel barrel design with the Sharpie logo laser etched on barrel.  Fine point tip size is designed for marking and writing. Marker contains a quick drying, certified AP nontoxic formula and marks on most surfaces. Fade resistant and water-resistant ink encourages multiple project uses.
