Promising review: "Amazing device. For years I’ve been using two butter knives held together with a rubber band, but Scotch has really revolutionized the experience with this magic item. Almost everything is better with these scissors. Paper and cloth cutting is effortless. Accurate cutting out of shapes is possible. After buying this device, my life is full of color, the air is cleaner, and the water is clearer. Highly recommend." —Batman

6. A digital desktop calculator that'll quickly work out numbers for you. No more searching your phone for the calculator app.
This calculator is solar-powered with battery backup.
Promising review: "Great little basic calculator. I bought it to replace another Casio that was an earlier model. I was unable to read the display on that one that lasted nearly 10 years, so it was time for a new one. If you are looking for just your basic calculator that is reliable for budgeting and/or balancing your bank account, or for those of us who still keep up a balance on a hard copy, get this one." —Ms Lynn
Price: $8.49

9. A spiral notebook that'll come in handy for things like writing down important reminders, or even using as a personal diary.
10. A cork frame magnetic dry erase board you can use to jot down reminders. Plus, it makes for a simple, but cute decorative piece.
11. Push pins so you can securely pin things to your wall or a cork board. It doesn't just have to be important papers or notes! You can personalize your space with pictures, magazine clippings, ticket stubs, or anything really.
Comes with 100 pins.
Promising review: "I wanted more of these with color, (purple, green, blue, pink, yellow), as I finally ran out after about 10 years, but I was unable to locate any to buy. These are clear, but still round, so they will blend in with the colored ones I still have on my bulletin board. I like the round ends as they have a nicer look than traditionally shaped pushpins. Plus, they hold well." —Kelly

12. A wireless printer you can connect to your wireless devices to make printing files or even things like coloring pages easy-to-do from your phone, tablet, and computer. You can also use it to scan, copy, and fax.
Features a 100-sheet paper feed so you don't have to reload paper too often. It also features auto two-sided printing, a 30-page auto document feeder for copying and scanning easily, hands-free voice-activated printing, and can connect to wireless devices with Wi-Fi direct such as iPads, iPhones, Android tablets, and smartphones.
Promising review: "I'm very pleased with this printer. It was an easy set-up from the beginning to the end. The printer works flawlessly and is quieter than my last printer. The real plus though is the price. I bought it on sale and was expecting to get a cheapo, but Epson has totally exceeded its price point in quality and features as you get almost everyday modern features at a very reasonable price. I have printed and scanned with it so far, and the prints are sharp and clean, and scans are easy to save to files or even print. I'm very happy with this purchase." —GMan
Price: $59.99
13. An interlocking drawer organizer set so next time you reach into your drawer to just grab something as simple as a pencil or a paperclip, you won't have to go on a scavenger hunt through your drawer to find it.
14. A chalkboard calendar to easily keep track of due dates, special days like birthdays or anniversaries, or any other dates you can think of. For example, did you know that April 24th is national pigs-in-a-blanket day? Add it to the calendar!
Comes with two white chalk pencils and a gold magnet. Plus, it's magnetic-compatible.
Promising review: "LOVE this chalkboard calendar! Helpful for organization while still looking classy. Super easy to hang up. Love the simple design and big spaces for all your writing needs." —Target Reviewer

15. A wood ruler with easy-to-read markings so taking measurements, or just using it to draw precise, straight lines is quick and simple.
16. Mechanical pencils reviewers love for the fact that the lead is durable and doesn't break as easily as other mechanical pencils. Plus, they come in fun colors.
Comes with 26 pencils.
Promising review: "As a mother of seven, I had stopped buying lead pencils because they would break so easily. I decided to buy these because they claimed that the lead was more durable. They are correct! Will be buying these from now on!" —Mother of 7

I am so glad I bought this and even happier that I got an additional discount with my Red card." —normisf
