I am one of those rare few who absolutely LOVE office supplies. Ever since I was young, I could not wait to organize, getting pens and paper was a big treat, and the office supply store was like a candy store to me. So obviously when we got the chance to take a look at the new products from 3M, I was very excited!

The new Post-it Super Sticky labels are great for all kinds of organizing projects. Not only do they stick well (much more sticky than the regular Post-its) but they are also removable. They come in a great variety of sizes and colors. The label pads, which you can get in square or rectangle, are a great size for containers, and other larger items that you want to label. The bright neon colors make them easy to read and spot.

I used some in our pantry. I love being able to look in, and find the container I need really quickly thanks to the bright color. It also really helped that I could remove the label, as I decided to use one of the containers for something new when the other dry good ran out.

The smaller removable labels can be printed on in a laser printer, or you can just write on them. They come in rectangle and round shapes. I love the round dots for use on my calendar, and knowing that I can remove them if I need too is a big plus. The removable labels also come in name badges, full sized sheets, file folder labels, I.D. labels that can go on binders, shelves, etc.

There are new, permanent labels as well. We especially loved the recycled address and return address labels. They are made from 100% post consumer recycled material, but they are white so they will match an envelope! I love to write letters, and being able to create my own, unique labels with the use of my printer and the labels from 3M was a lot of fun. They also offer labels for shipping in packages that have everything you would need (white and clear). In addition to labels for shipping, they have bright colored labels that are larger (2″x4″) that you could use on containers, packages, or anything else you want to stand out.

To see all the colors and sizes, and to find out where to purchase them, be sure to visit the Post-it/3M website. As an office supply junkie, I have to say these new items are very wish list worthy in my book!

Monday, November 30 GelPro will offer 15% off any product on their Web site (excluding gift cards). I have always wanted to try one, and think that they look great for cooks and others who are on their feet a lot. So, if you have always wanted one, today is a great day to snatch one up!

If you are looking for fun options for your holiday cards, be sure to see the selection at RUVACards. They have cards for more than just the holiday though, you can get personalized note cards, baby announcements, party invitations, personalized gifts, and stationary.

We recently got a chance to see a selection of their cards in person, and were impressed by the quality and the wide ranges of options. They have a lot of choices for cards featuring photos, some with several that fold out to create more of a book feeling.

And, for those of you with kids, you can even use some of their artwork to create a card! Or use it to make a personalized hot chocolate or tea tin.

To see all the options, visit the RUVACards website.

Recently Bissell provided us with a Bissell 5770 Healthy Home Bagless Upright Vacuum to review. We were both really excited to see how it would compare to our Dyson. On the upside, it works just as well at bringing up dirt and everything else on the floor. In fact, it brought up a lot of things that our other vacuum left behind. We are thrilled with the cleaning capacity of this vacuum, and is a great option if you are on a budget but still want a powerful cleaning vacuum.

The vacuum also comes with a bottom emptying canister, which we love. It’s not as easy to open, and I found that I would have to pull the bottom down a bit when emptying, but maybe after a few more uses it will loosen and start to open with just the release button. It also has a great hose that has attachments, and even a non-tip design. I really love that it doesn’t tip over easily when using the hose.

The vacuum uses multi-cyclonic technology and AireTight HEPA filtration system, to clean and trap dust mites, pollen, mold spores and pet dander. It also has MicroBan antimicrobial coating to fight the growth of odor-causing bacteria, mold, and mildew.

On the downside, it is a large unit which is also pretty heavy. However, those were the only complaints we had. It does a great job on cleaning the carpets. There is even a light, which really helps when vacuuming in darker spaces. We like how the hose is stored on the vacuum, as well as the attachments. Of course we especially love the canister, and as allergy suffers, we appreciate the filter.

It’s also very easy to put together, with just a simple screw insert, you are ready to start vacuuming. If you want to buy your own, you can find the Bissell 5770 Healthy Home Bagless Upright Vacuum online at Amazon.

ReUsies are a great way to save money, and do your part to keep plastic out of the landfill. As the name implies, they are reusable.

ReUsies are fabric sandwich/snack bags that you can use to replace the plastic bags you usually use! They do a great job, holding just as much as a plastic bag. Each one has the potential to eliminate hundreds of plastic bags. ReUsies are made from 100% cotton, lined with leak-resistant nylon and secured with Velcro closures.

Another great thing about them is that they can be washed. You can spot clean them, or even wash them in the washer or dishwasher! They also come in a variety of fun colors and patterns. You can buy them online through the ReUsies shop. We also love that they are made in the USA, and come with a satisfaction guarantee.

We found them to just as easy to use as a plastic baggy. The only hard part was remembering to not just toss them out, but I am sure that with more use bringing them home will become a habit. If you are looking for a way to reduce the amount of plastic you use, then ReUsies are something to put on your wish list!
