📓 2. Notebooks & Planners for Quick Thinking

Startups run on ideas.
And sometimes the best ideas surface off-screen.

Keep a dedicated notebook for:

  • brainstorming

  • meeting notes

  • to-do lists

  • long-term planning

💡 Pro Tip: Use a separate planner just for business goals — clarity equals momentum.


🗂️ 3. Smart Organization Tools

As the business grows, so will your documents.
Stay ahead with:

  • file organizers

  • binders

  • labeled folders

  • sticky notes

  • drawer trays

🌿 A tidy system saves hours (and stress) down the road.


🖊️ 4. Quality Pens & Writing Tools

You’ll be signing contracts, jotting notes, sketching ideas…
Having reliable pens isn’t optional — it’s mission-critical.

Choose:

  • gel pens for smooth writing

  • fine-points for detailed sketches

  • eco pens for sustainability

📦 5. Shipping & Packaging Supplies

If you sell products, strong branding begins here.
Stock up on:

  • padded mailers

  • label printers

  • thank-you cards

  • branded stickers

  • packing tape

💭 A clean, consistent unboxing experience builds trust.


☕ 6. Desk Comfort Items

Small things boost team morale and productivity:

  • coasters

  • mug warmers

  • mini desk plants

  • soft desk mats

  • footrests

A comfortable team = a productive team.
