A quick search will show you that there’s a national day for everything; believe it or not, not only is today National Stationery Day (hence our smorgasbord of fabulous office-y things), it’s also National Lima Bean Respect Day. May 9th is National Lost Sock Memorial Day, July 29th is National Talk in a Lift Day and August 3rd is National Grab Some Nuts Day… Anyway, I digress. Just like people, stationery can be sensible, silly, weird, wonderful, colourful, funny, and beautiful. Unlike people, it’ll sit on your desk quietly and won’t talk back. Behold Clic’s pick of the bunch.
