Swingline Pre packed Standard Assorted S7079141

I bought this Swingline Pre packed Standard Assorted S7079141 on a whim after seeing it at Target for only $2. We have a full-sized stapler at home, be we keep it in our "office" upstairs, and I was tired of having to run up and get it every time I needed a quick staple job. The tiny size of this stapler is perfect, as it tucks neatly into one of my kitchen drawers. Despite it's small size, however, it's quite a powerful little stapler! I've never tested it to see exactly how much paper it can handle, but on the other hand, I've also never had it jam or otherwise fail to perform. The stapler is lightweight yet sturdy, and the best thing about it is that it takes regular, STANDARD size staples--no need to purchase a specialty size! This would be a great stapler for kids (my sister bought one for my niece), but be sure to buy at least one for yourself too. Highly recommended!

I brought this Swingline Tot Stapler because I needed an occasional stapler and did not want a bulky one that just takes up a lot of space and gets used maybe once a week. I was very happy with this product. This little thing carried a lot of punch. In fact, I stapled 15 sheets of paper at one time, which is more than it promises on the package. I believe the site claims 2-12 sheets of 20 lb. paper. The storage case underneath will surely come in handy someday. Can't wait till the day when I get to sit at my chair and not have to get up for a re-fill.


In a busy household there are always people with busy hands taking away my stuff so I often buy multiples of things. I have a professional office stapler that people can't remove from my desk, then I have these things which I give to my kids so they won't take my stapler. These small staplers are great, they're cheap and work well. Best of all, they're brightly colored so that I can always find them in drawers.

This little guy is unquestionably the greatest stapler I've ever owned! Unlike other models I've used in my life, this baby has never jammed, nor has it ever mangled a staple into an unusable shape. It even has a convenient staple-remover horn on the back part of the base for those moments when I need the pages separated, rather than together. And there's even a little storage space in the base, right underneath the plastic cover. Although it's meant to house an extra cartridge of staples, I use it as a cash-stash in case an unexpected emergency should occur. Better safe than sorry, I always say...

Speaking of staples: unlike Swingline's preceding Cub series of mini-staplers, this model takes standard-size staples. Which is a good thing, 'cuz Cub staples are gettin' harder and harder to find by the minute 'round here...

LD Bags Leopard Backpack 16 5 LD Bags Leopard Backpack 16 5

I purchased this LD Bags Leopard Backpack 16 5 LD Bags Leopard Backpack 16 5 for my daughter starting kindergarden this August! she picked it out! when it arrived she was so excited. all thing i didnt expect was how big the bag was on her. but that is fine, i would rather it be slightly larger than too small. The backpack is a standard backpack size, not a toddler size. The size of this bag would fit better on a child a year or to older. but since the straps are adjustable she can wear it just fine! we had the bag monogrammed when it arrived and now its just perfest! Love the backpack!

I ordered this for my daughter and she loves it, but before she could use it I had to wash it about five times, because it smelled really bad from some chemicals. Not sure whether it was packed funny or what. I ended up using really powerful smelling Downy several times and airing it out in my garage repeatedly between washings. It was that stinky.

However, it is holding up nicely to my 10yo's constant use, it holds all her stuff, provides space for different things (pencil area, netting on the side for a thermos, etc). She has also inspired a lot of her peers to buy pink and zebra bags, but their stuff seems flimsier.

My 9yo daughter loves this stylish zebra backpack but she has a hard time with the zipper, and after one month the liner on the inside is already ripping. It looks great, just needs heavier duty materials to perfect the quality and it would be 5 stars!

This bag has such a strong, awful plastic smell that I put it in my shed and forgot about it. I bought it for my daughter but there is no way I'm having her walk around all day sucking in what are most likely toxic fumes. The only good thing I can say is that the seller sent the bag out quickly.

Gowrite Erase Rolls Inches AR2420

I bought this Gowrite Erase Rolls Inches AR2420 for my Grandson's new craft table. It required a 12" roll. I received the roll and it was 18" x 75' not 12" x 100'. The label on the paper said 18"x 75', but the sticker on the outside of the roll said 12" x 100'. I emailed Amazon and told them of my problem, hoping they would suggest how I could return the roll and be assured to get the right size the next time. No response after a couple of days, so I did online chat with a Amazon rep. I was told I was issued a refund, even though I did not receive an email stating so and it's not listed on my account as a return. The rep told me I would have to order again to get the correct roll and he would make a note on my account to send the 12" roll. I paid $8.95 for the roll on 12/30/12 and 11 days later the roll costs $13.21. Doesn't quite seem fair.

Fits great in my 12" paper roll holder. My grandkids can pull out as much paper as they need off the roller. The paper is great to color, paint or write on. Having the paper readily available tends to let them be more creative. I put the holder with the paper on their play table and pull the paper out about 20" and tape the end with blue painters tape and when they are finished the tape does not stick to their "masterpiece" and they can take it home or hang it on my wall.

It is true to the measurements. Got this paper for my nephew for his birthday. He recieved the easel for chrsitmas with no supplies for painting. this paper fit perfectly on the paper holders and my nephews room is now decorated with all his amazing art work. Best present I could have gotten him. Ps dont forget to get a spill mat!

We have been buying these Alex Paper 100-foot rolls for 3 years, probably have gone thru 20 rolls by now. My son loves to draw trains and extra longgg trucks on 6-foot lengths that we cut. My complaint is that until some time in late 2011, the paper had always been good high quality. Since then, the two orders we received are much inferior in paper quality, it is not as smooth, not as even in opacity, and tears easily. I want the old stuff back!
