Five Fabulous: Staplers

By

This is the first in an occasional series from our new contributor Amy Feezor (you saw Amy’s home office a few weeks ago here). Amy’s going to give us product round ups and also a new regular series on music (look out for that on Wednesdays starting next week.) Welcome Amy!

Keep it together (or at least look good while attempting to) with our favorite picks for an office accessory that can make a surprising desktop statement: the humble stapler.

1. Blomus Stapler ($56):  J.R. Schebendach’s timeless, stainless-steel simplicity increases any desk’s chic factor. Get it: mcasd.org Image via Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego.

2. Swingline Collectors Edition 747 Business Stapler ($17.71): This legendary candy-colored workhorse looks cute, but means business. Get it: amazon.com. Image via amazon.com.

5. Fun Stapler by Zenith, ($32): The name says it all. Use with one hand and start up some serious stapling. Get it: plasticashop.com. Image via plasticashop.com.

Sara–thanks for the link! Very cool. I love a retro stapler…

Nothing like a good Swingline. They last for lifetimes. But who knew they came in such fabulous colors. Thanks for the info.

I love present and correct! Those staplers are so cute.

I love staplers — this makes me want to get a few of them, cause I can’t decide which of these is the cutest?!

Very few people can make staplers interesting, but Amy Feezor can. Thank you, Amy!

Ha! Thanks rozrs…
