Get them from Amazon for $3.65.
Promising review: "I have owned these scissors for over a year and still love them. I added them to my pencil bag for school because they are petite and won't dominate the bag like full-size scissors. The scissors are a pleasant gold color and are instantly recognizable as the Eiffel Tower. I've gotten dozens of comments on how beautiful they are. Setting aesthetics aside, they cut better than I expected! It has worked well opening bags from the vending machine, cutting paper, string, and so forth. I am very pleased!!" —Amazon Anon

Promising review: "I love these pens! They are definitely not just for kids! I have started using these daily for taking notes while studying. The square shape of the pen provides a much more comfortable grip than a traditional round pen. It's a similar feel to my square knitting needles, which are known for preventing your hands from getting tired so quickly. Not only is the grip great, but the gel ink is very nice and flows evenly from the pens. I definitely recommend these pens for everyday use!" —Annelise M. Kromann

24. A set of gilded file folders to fill with words, words, words.
Get the pack of three from Amazon for $10.75. Also available in six other designs.
Promising review: "Pleasantly surprised by these! I wasn't sure if I wanted to pay $11 for a small amount of file folders but after receiving and seeing the quality, glad that I did. The construction is very thick. Nothing at all like a manila folder. Sturdy, with a nice thickness and pop of color. They also came with gold and white sticker labels to place inside the tabs section. This makes labeling much easier. I use them in my filing cabinet, along with regular manila's so my important items can stand out. I have quite a bit of files, so it's nice to use a color system. If I have to go somewhere with my documents, I can use these to take these along because of their sturdiness. This is not a cheaply made folder. Impressed." —Marz

The cover is made of matte film lamination so they're durable the whoooole year long.
Get it from Amazon for $16.95.
Promising review: "Being a college student studying Biomedical Science and Psychology, I have to be very organized. This planner is probably the best resource I have as far as organization goes, so I make sure to buy the best. The reviews of this product are very accurate. The line spacing for both individual days and weeks are perfect. I can make my letters larger and space out my class schedule perfectly to the point where I don't have to squint my eyes to read what was written. Each month has a full calendar on the tabbed page, making overall planning super easy to refer to. The pages are thick, which is good for those of you who depend on hi lighting organization. It is also filled with positive quotes and goal planning, which can be useful for obvious reasons." —Megan
