I would love to hear more about your favorite office essentials. We recently needed to buy some writing instruments and I spent way too long debating over recycled pencils (without metal or erasers), cedar pencils from the US, bamboo pencils, only lead pencils,
 and more. I feel pretty good about our new glue options ...but I'd really love to learn more about what you all love! Share, please?</div>
