I equate buying business supplies as the adult version of the back to school supply excitement. There’s something about new pens and paper that makes you feel actually pumped to get to work. I’ve partnered with my friends at Staples for their #MakeMoreHappen campaign to show you my favorite resources and great things they have available to you, the small business owner.

Real talk, I am in constant need of copy solutions for my calligraphy classes. Each one of my students gets several handouts, so I’m always looking for cost effective solutions, ease of ordering, and delivery options. The Staples Copy & Print Center has some of the best prices out there for copies, and also offer easy online ordering. And to put a cherry on top, they deliver your projects for FREE on orders over $49.99. Can’t beat that.

If you’re looking to get started in your own business (perhaps a calligraphy gig), the Staples Copy & Print Center also offer solutions to get business cards, notepads, and more made. I assure you, if you’re thinking of starting a business, the simple act of making business cards will make you feel so much more official.

One big thing I love about Staples are the cute office supplies they sell, because let’s be real: we all want an attractive work space and cute matters. They carry a favorite brand of mine, Poppin, whose supplies grace my tabletops and make appearances in my classes. These giant pink sticky notes are amazing as calligraphy scratch sheets, and their rulers are colorful and sturdy – I use mine constantly.

I’m frequently asked in my classes, “Lauren, where do you buy your washi tape?” Staples is the answer! I love their selection of Scotch Washi Tape – which I use in every single class. Their wide selection of colors and availability make me happy.

All of these supplies are available at your local Staples. So colorful and cheery, right? A happy work space will absolutely help you #makemorehappen.
