Decidedly Un-Fugly Staplers

by Joi on November 8, 2006

Finally! I’ve always wondered why manufacturers seem hellbent on making staplers as plain Thelma Lou’s cousin. Sure, they’re “Niiiiiccce. Real niiiiiice,” but that doesn’t make them look any better sitting on your desk than Mary Grace would. As a matter of fact, very often they’re downright fugly.

Now someone’s gone and gotten all jazzy and has given this office necessity a makeover. The sleek little PaperPro(tm) Compact Stapler from Linens ‘ n Things comes in three hot colors: Green, Red, or Blue – and each is under $10.oo. Love that.

From the Website:

The PaperPro™ Compact is the easiest of all the PaperPro™ staplers with just 6lbs of actuation force for a 2-15 sheet capacity. Its lightweight design makes it a convenience for all stapling jobs, whether you are in the office, at the counter, on the go, or in your house. The PaperPro™ Compact contains core PaperPro™ features, such as vertical or horizontial operation, easy paper entry, drop-in loading, and a staple remaining window.

Features:

  • Staples up to 15 sheets of paper with the press of one finger!
  • Uses regular staples
  • One rack of staples included
  • Compact Lightweight Design
  • Patented Spring-Powered Mechanism
  • Squared Nose for Vertical Stapling
  • Tapered Base
  • Staples Remaining Window
  • Hard Chromed Strike Plate, Staple Track and Anvil

By the way, did you know that the adorable actress who played Mary Grace on T.A.G.S. was named Mary Grace in real life. She also played “Ralph” on Green Acres and was the second nosy neighbor Harriet Cravtiz on Bewitched. One of the best character actresses of her time.

There, you learned something today – your mind can take the rest of the day off.
