LIFESTYLE – Stationary Must Haves’
Back in school days I remember being excited about getting new stationary for the beginning of the school year and that feeling never really left. Whether you have a home office or a small office, a well stocked stationary cupboard is essential. We found some stationary must have’s for you to use and enjoy.
Maped 21 cm Advanced Gel Asymmetrical Scissors
It is hard to find a pair of scissors that don’t get blunt easily and are comfortable to use, Maped have created a pair that have gel handles, so they the handle is soft and easy to use. The blades are made from steel, keeping them sharp for longer. Great value for money and to top off, the packaging is eco friendly.
Maped 21 cm Advanced Gel Asymmetrical Scissors can be purchased for £2.80
