"I bought new pens and a new notebook for my course today! Now I feel the need for folders and a pencil case !
Did you get a project notebook with different coloured dividers? "
No and now I’m feeling inadequately prepared  |

Focus on the folders and pencil case. Every new endeavour requires a new pencil case. I had trouble resisting buying one in Muji yesterday.

"Note books. Also love a decent ringbinder as well.
A good sized wall calendar brings me joy as well. Love writing on that bad boy. "
I bought a wall calendar in the shape of the London skyline. It was so lovely I couldn't bring myself to use it.  |

"I can't decide! I like the sticky neon page index tabs a lot.
But you can't beat the satisfying feeling of a hole punch.
"
The sticky tabs are on my target list when I'm at a conference. I'm sure I just go to some conferences for the stationery haul.

"I don’t own one as my handwriting is horrendous and it would be wasted on me. But a montblanc fountain pen is a thing of beauty. "
It is beautiful but I gave mine away as it's not weighted well for my little hand.

"Fountain Pen, black ink.
Only because a quill is a bit cumbersome at times...
Which make? My everyday is a Lamy, inks change with my mood.

I have a Cross slimline. Doesn't ruin the line of my suit  |

Labelmakers.
Useful for the hopelessly disorganised (see me) plus you can have fun making up ridiculous labels to put in unusual places.

I am fighting the urge to suggest you label specific things with some interesting titles.

"Stationery must be the most boring commodity in existence.I know, I used to sell it!"
One of my old PAs used to hide the stationery catalogue from me. I don't think it's boring, as can be seen from my extensive personal collection.

"Ahhh at first I wasn’t sure whether it was the day where everyone had to stay still.
But my favourites... pencils. "
Mechanical or traditional? I had a great day visiting the Pencil Museum in Cumbria four years ago. I also went to the Pen Museum in Birmingham.

I actually enjoy both. They serve a valid purpose for their respective uses.
PS nice pics. |

Thank you. I really should have taken a stationery picture.

I overthink things and get lost in the detail sometimes. |

Got to be the stapler.
Most have an undiscovered secret. The punch down plate can be turned around 180 degrees, so when stapling the "legs" of the staples splay out, not bend over.
Easier to extract and take up less room in a stack of stapled documents.
Also, men will mostly appreciate this, when you run out of staples you can half strip the stapler and shout "reload"....
It's "almost" like being back in Nam....... |

"Same as it always is - a freshly opened packet of post-it notes - simply flick through and inhale - it's divine!! 
Standard size? I am rather taken with the A5 ones, these days.

Oh come on Lickety - you know that size doesn't matter |

I am partial to buying pens and notebooks.
I just bought a laminator and some folders does that count?"
Speciality, technical stationery. Of course it counts!

I like laminating things which should not be laminated.  |

"Finally, a day I can get on board with!
I like looking at pens mostly. Badass, I know."
It's a good section of any stationery outlet, especially if they have a notepad for you to try before you buy. Looking and feeling! |

"When I was in college, I was forever buying mechanical pencils and (cute) mini staplers "
I like those mini ones that just punch and fold the paper. It's too fiddly getting those tiny staples in.

"avatar updated accordingly
Top marks! 
Get the sticky gold stars "
You jest.
I will try and gather a selection of my stationery for a photo, if I can work out how to insert a bit of me.

"I’m partial to a laminate.
And Sharpie pens. I’m known for my Sharpie pens.
Ryman's had all the colours on sale earlier this year. I had to resist.

I may have all the colours. And may assign certain people colours too, a classification system if you will! |

Different colour and thickness of A5 paper! We’re all very odd..."
When I worked on Tottenham Court Road I would go to Paperchase to feel the different paper types.
How do you feel about Tyvek?

The person who fab'd the picture and called it random didn't.
I made it sexier ('cause stationery is sexy) by placing the items on my sexy, purple chaise longue.

I liked those perforated strips you could tear off old school dot matrix printers. I used to fold 2 strips into a springy Caterpillar thing. Thought I was clever and invented something, but sadly saw something similar a while later #DreamShattered |

That really is very cute. You like the bit of stationery that normally gets thrown away. I *may* still have some of that paper. |

I discovered a similar problem with 3 strawberry laces and "inventing" platting |

"Papper clips. I'd say they are the greatest invention known to mankind as they have so many uses.
I was very underwhelmed by the staple-less stapler"
It can only do a small number of pages. I think I forgot to put in my picture. I got carried away ensuring a representative sample of my notebooks.

I rarely use baby stapler. I like Daddy stapler, not all offices have one.
That's the one that can staple whole people together.

It was World Stationery Day earlier this week, in Stationery Week. I started a thread. Another poster uploaded a picture of his fountain pen. I pulled together a selection of my collection of stationery. It's not random. |

"The prominence of the “pritt-stick” in the photograph makes me wonder if you were going for a “sky remote” type of shot .....
"
I felt I needed to insert another item, as I had to get some of me into the picture to meet the rules.
What I really needed was a photographer so that I could have the stationery adorning my naked body as I lay on the chaise.
