What office supplies do you feel most excited to shop for for your desk? I absolutely love notepads. I keep 2 or 3 on my desk at any given time for work and another 2 around the house for my family.

Are there any office supplies that you find yourself frequently recommending to co-workers and friends? Ha, this is a trick question for the owner of an office supply company! Of course, I'm always talking up Patterned, especially our notepads, trying to get my clients to buy notepads for their clients and employees. They're such an easy and valuable gift. I also LOVE recommending our Medium Gift Set as the perfect little gift for the office supply lover in your life.

Which 3 items on your desk are MOST essential for a successful day? I am a die-hard Simplified Weekly Planner girl (check those out here), always have my planner open on my desk. Otherwise, a big computer monitor for getting up close on design details and a handful of notepads and pens. There are an endless amount of thoughts and ideas to jot down owning 2 businesses as a wife and mom... and if I don't write them down, the thoughts will disappear forever, anyone else?

NATALIE’S RAPID FIRE QUESTIONS: Early Bird or Night Owl? Early bird. Notepad or Notebook? Notepad. Coffee or Tea? Coffee. Pen or Pencil? Pen. Cats or Dogs? Oh my gosh, I LOVE dogs. Gift Wrap or Gift Bag? Gift Wrap… or lower maintenance, tying a ribbon around some beautiful things and letting the items speak for themselves.
