Mini gifts for a desk and a pencil case

Notebooks and pens are three-quarters of this shelf, and the useful measurement is the one a packet buries: a pocket notebook is around two and a half by four inches, which is a back pocket and not a handbag, while a mini composition book at three by five is a coat pocket. Both are called mini. Check the figure rather than the word. Buying for a classroom changes the sums again: the notebook packs here run to sixty and the pen packs to a hundred and twenty, and at that count the price stops being a price per present and becomes a price per child, which is usually between fifteen and forty cents. The desk pieces are the opposite purchase: one object, one person, and the joke on it has to survive a year of being looked at. That is a harder thing to get right than it looks, and it is the reason the funny ones cost more than the plain ones.

Everything on this shelf is one of pen, notebook, magnet, card or bookmark or stickers, and the Tiny Gifts selection keeps the price, the pack count and the widest measurement on every card so the sums are done before you order.
