This is the time of year when I like to showcase new products. Our 2020 catalog has been out for a month or so and it’s full of great items!

Today I’d like to show you two items in the markerboard arena. Markerboards may not be the most exciting thing in your office, but they’re pretty much a necessity - even for home offices - and when something new comes along, we want to give you first look at it.

Every business needs to mail larger envelopes and packages - some of us more frequently than others - and it can be frustrating and annoying when you don’t have the right size box or padded mailer for the item you need to send.

3M has introduced a new product that it says eliminates the need for boxes, styrofoam/padding, tape and envelopes. It’s called Flex and Seal Shipping Roll and it’s composed of three layers - an outer waterproof layer, a middle bubble layer and the inside adhesive layer.

May is Enjoy Your Work month and in our weekly eblasts we’ve been featuring items to make your work life better - and fun! Fun office supplies, breakroom treats, cool tech, comfy seating and more.

Today I’d like to show you the ChargeTech Power Table.

Normally I write about items you can use in your office, but the product I’m reviewing today is more for you to use in your personal life. I suppose you could use it if you travel for work and need to transport samples and such.

If you’re a regular reader, you know that I’m a geek for writing instruments. Well, today I’d like to show you two items - both of which claim to solve some significant problems for you. Will they earn fame or shame? Read on to find out!

First up is the Zebra PM 701 Permanent Marker.

t’s January - and you know what that means. New Year’s resolutions. The time of year when people vow to lose weight, exercise more, eat right and………….get organized. It’s also the time of year when I like to start showing you new products that will make your work life easier. Today we’ll kill two birds with one stone - figuratively, of course.

We all know that a happy employee is a productive employee - and most employees need their cup of coffee (or, if you’re me, hot chocolate) to get started in the morning.
