Alcogel for quick hand sanitizing
A set of screwdrivers with different tips. I got mine from Muji years ago
Tape measure (carpenter kind)
Rulers

Thank you! I have a toolbox for those screwdrivers and tape measure, close to my supplies basket.

* stationeries for sweet letters out of the blue
* all-occasion/no-occasion flat or greeting cards
* mailing envelopes in various sizes
* some mailing stamps
* stickers to seal off your snails in style
* twines, crochet threads to wrap up a gift or for attaching gift tags
* index cards – for quick lists, recipes, notes
* filing folders (in pastel colors!)

yes i hoard those, and more.

Hi Odette! Super thanks for those ideas. I think I’m gonna go get myself some stickers.

i actually have several supplies baskets in our room, but for the basket on my desk, i also included a cutter, paper clips, small scraps of paper held together by a clamp and some letter envelopes.

i also have a plastic container for my gift wrapping needs like tags (christmas, kiddie bday, adult bday), notecards, ribbons, some embellishments for gift wrapping, etc.

Thank you for those ideas Pat!!

i like collecting supplies, even though I don’t use them all. hmmm, are there any post-it pads and paper clips in this basket? do you have a corkboard–so perhaps a box of tacks?

I’ve also come up with a separate “gift wrapping” supplies box–ribbons, gift tags, papel de hapon

I don’t have a corkboard; I do like the paperclips idea. Should get a box soon. And that giftwrapping box of yours is cool!

I suggest get a supplies organizer … one which has designs for every supply so that you don’t just toss things in … I can’t have a basket since I literally have a huge supply of stuff.

I’ll consider that. Thanks!

I also have a box full of supplies – used and unused. We almost have the same items but mine have diff kinds of papers, post its, crayons, colored pens, pentel pens, board markers, highlighters and gelpens. So whenever we need some artsie artsie stuff, we just need to go to our own “National Bookstore”. Hehe

That’s cute, your own little NBS.

naku, that’s my problem, too. my supplies basket starts out nice and orderly… tapos after a while, kung ano ano na ang laman, it gets just as difficult to find what one needs. tapos yun nga, often, stuff don’t find their way back pa, haaay….

Yun ang mahirap, the stuff don’t find their way back! Hahaha.
