NEW catalog means NEW items to be excited about!

It's that time of year... NEW CATALOG TIME! Around here, it's always a really fun and exciting time to browse the new catalog and find all the new items. It is not uncommon to hear a gasp and an "ohhhh did you see that?!" coming from the office. If you don't have your 2014 catalog yet, you will be getting one soon. And if you don't get one in the next week or two, call and let us know so we can make sure you get one, too!

Each year, hundreds of new products are added to our catalog. They are either new items altogether for us or they are replacing an existing item. Either way it's exciting. SO, I thought that I'd take a few minutes to share and highlight MY top 10 items I'm most excited about in the new catalog!

Here it goes:

10. The Mighty Badge Name Badge starter kit.

Featured on pg. 304 of new catalog

I love this product. We have so many customers that want to order 1 or 2 new name badges for a new employee- which we gladly do custom work like that. However, it can get costly doing 1 at a time. I love that this takes that element out of the equation- you just make your own whenever you need it! And it comes in silver or brass, for laser or ink jet printers, so they look very professional and not "home-made"-- logos can also be added to customize your look.









9. Samsill Two-Tone Binders

Featured on pg. 326 of new catalog

Let's face it: office supplies can be (and look) boring. I am a person that is very attracted to fun and colorful things. And when you have to have a binder out in the open or sitting on your desk- isn't it more fun for it to be colorful?! There are 4 color combination available, and comes in a 1" or 1 1/2" capacity.














8. Redi-Tag Index and SeeNote Sticky notes

Index Sticky notes features on pg. 1167 of new catalog

SeeNotes featured on pg 1167 of new catalog

How many times have you wanted to mark your page in a catalog (specifically Tierney's catalog, ha!) and needed to make a note? Or write a note IN the catalog, but you were afraid to mess up the catalog? OR are you editing a report or document and need to make notes that aren't permanent? I love both these products- the SeeNotes are great, because they are transparent (and also come in different colors to draw your attention, not just the clear as shown) so you can make notes on anything, see the original document, and then remove the note when you're done. The Index notes are great for marking a page in something and making notes. Both products are also great to use on your work or personal calendar as well!



7. HON Purpose Seating

Featured on pg 115 of new catalog

HON has always been a leading manufacturer in style and quality of office seating, and they proved it again when they came out with their new PURPOSE line. With their innovative new "YouFit" technology, office chairs have never been more comfortable! It provides continuous support and a personal fit that is unique to each person that uses the chair. It also comes in an array of fun colors- black, orange, aqua, green, and burgundy to name a few. Visit HERE to watch a video on this chair!









6. Femme Floral Computer Totes

Featured on pg. 461 of new catalog

We have always carried a line of laptop and briefcases. And they are notoriously boring. And ugly. Or they are a backpack. And lets face it: if you're a woman in a professional position, you're not carrying a backpack. We FINALLY have a nice looking computer tote that doesn't look like a computer tote! I would carry this anywhere! It also comes in a hot pink, which is cute too.











5. SMEAD Erasable Hanging Folder Tabs

Featured on pg. 847 of new catalog

 This may seem like a tiny thing not worthy of making a top ten list, but really. If you have EVER filed before and ran out of new tabs to use (or you just couldn't re-use the old tab because you used pen to label it) you understand how great this invention is. You can write on this tab WITH PERMANENT MARKER and it will erase so you can reuse the tab! Genius! I think this should be the standard that comes in the file folder box!










4. SAFCO Onyx Stackable Mesh Storage Bin

Featured on pg. 920 of new catalog

I love organization. And I don't know about you, but I have a limited amount of space in my desk/office area. The reason I think this is a smart product is because it multi-tasks- hanging file folders, stackable items, but also small clips, pens, phone, etc. I like having it all in one place!













3. iPad and iPhone accessories/cases

iPad accessories start on page 680 of the new catalog

So this is a pretty broad catagory, but a good one nonetheless. We have always carried a limited line of these accessories, but this year they kinda exploded this year. I like the variety we carry and for all sizes of tablets, too. There are also accessories for some of the other tablets on the market (Samsung Galaxy for one).











2. BIC Brite liner Highlighter tape

Featured on pg. 1287 of new catalog

I got a lot of laughs when I got excited about this product. But come on! An eraseable highlighter that is also a tape, not a pen?! Pretty cool. Great for textbooks, magazines, catalogs, or important documents, this is sure to be popular just for the fun of trying it! It comes in a pack of yellow/pink together, or just 2 yellows.












1. PILOT B2P Bottle-2-pen Gel Pen

Featured on pg. 1231 of new catalog

A pen had to make my list. EVERYONE is so particular about their pens! If you are a "green" person, you'll love these. Each pen is made from a recycled water bottle! Good for the Earth and makes for a fun texture to grip. Also come in great colors! And I need to say- I normally hate gel ink pens, but these write great!
