Stationary Haul!

Hi Guys!

Today I'm gonna talk to you guys about some stationary items I got over the past couple of months.

Whiteboard

I really wanted to get a new whiteboard that was a little bit smaller and lighter, so it would be easier to store. And the best thing is it was only £2 from The Works! It includes a pen with a little eraser on the top. It isn't that great as the black is more of a grey, but it works okay and would be perfectly fine.


Whiteboard pens

The main purpose of the whiteboard was to make mind maps as part of my revision. Therefore I wanted some whiteboard pens that would have a thin nib, so I could actually read my own writing. I haven't used these a lot since getting them, but they do the job well. Also the fact they came in four different colours is good for colour coding. They are the Bic Slim Velleda Whiteboard Marker Pens. I brought them from Amazon for £4.19.

Whiteboard eraser

I was looking for a really simple board rubber just to make sure that my whiteboard stayed relatively clean. I got it on Amazon for 83p! Only problem was it took forever to arrive, but it works perfectly fine.

Noto notebook

This is the BEST notebook I have ever brought! Probably the most expensive, but definitely the best. I absolutely love to write lists (yes I'm crazy!) and it is really lovely looking. I can imagine myself in the corner of a coffee shop writing lists with my amazing notebook. Practically it works well as well. Ringbinders are practical, but doesn't always look as pretty. Whereas the the leather look cover opens up and can be laid open independently. Therefore you have two hands free for typing etc. Also it comes in a variety of colours and a couple of different sizes. I brought the Stone Large Ruled Journal from Paperchase. It was £14, but I had a £5 gift card so I got it for a little cheaper.

Fatface notebook

I got this from my parents for Christmas. It is wackiest notebook I have ever had. At first i thought it was just a book of lined paper. However delve further in and it has every type of paper known to man!

Graph paper

Square paper

Even blue plain paper!

It is still available on the website and it's half price (bonus!) 

Record cards

I go through these like they going out of fashion at the moment! They are amazing for quick snippets of revision or having a look at on the go. Personally I use them as question cards, where I write the question on one side and the answer on the other side. Alternatively you could make short summaries of topics on to read just before the exam. I used to get them from W H Smiths, but these Tesco ones are a bit cheaper at £1.50 for 100. You have the options of plain or one with 4 different colours (blue, green, pink and yellow).

Photo album

I wanted to get a little photo album in preparation for uni. I'll probably use it to put a selection of my favourite pictures of friends and family. This one is nice and compact and very plain. It was £1.50 from Paperchase.

I can't find it online, but I'm sure I've seen it in store fairly recently.

Post it notes

I got this off my auntie when she came to stay. She knows me well! I love the way that the different sizes slot perfectly into place in the metal tin. It was from M&S.

Lollipop sticks

The purpose of these is pretty much the same as the question cards. I put them into a little cup on my desk and randomly pick them out and answer the question. I got these from The Works for 2 for £2. Only downside is that half of them are an assortment of colours and half of the packet are plain.
