Our Favorite Office Products We Use Everyday

Tools · November 15, 2021

The Holiday Season is upon us again! That means it’s time to pick out gifts for our friends and loved ones. A chore that can be quite difficult. Everyone is so different, and you want to get something each person will appreciate. While we can’t help you with everyone we may be able to help with that office junky or start-up on your list.

Let us first add that, we, at Open Roads Bookkeeping, are an Amazon affiliate. This means that if you purchase items using one of our links. We will receive a small commission at no cost to you. 

List of 11 Office Products

  1. The first thing on our list is this Doxie Portable Scanner. This little thing is amazing! It’s compact, fast, and does a really great job scanning documents and pictures. We purchased one a few years back and it has performed flawlessly.
  2. HP Laserjet Pro M118dw. Looking for a solid laser printer that doesn’t need color? The Laserjet Pro M118 is a great pick. The printer can be run wired for wirelessly on your network, which is a must anymore. It has all the features you actually need, without all the extra fluff that you never use. 
  3. We are Mac people and have been for quite some time. And, in a world where everyone is always using laptops, I still like a good desktop. Big desktops! Which means I absolutely love my 27inch iMac. Is there anyone that doesn’t appreciate a nice big computer screen? Even though I work in a small place, I have to make room for one of these and even a few of our next list item.
  4. LG 27inch 4K monitor. Actually, I have two of these. Multiple monitors make work much easier, no matter what kind of work you do on your computer. I’ve also learned through experience that the screen quality of a monitor matters a lot. Inexpensive monitors just don’t have the clarity you really need, even if you’re just reading text. The clarity of these LGs is fantastic. 
  5. Though I love and prefer to work on a desktop, laptops are always handy to have around. Since we love our Macs and I also love big screens, my pick is this 16inch MacBook Pro. It’s a bit more beefed up than the standard 16inch MacBook Pro. That means it will still not be totally outdated for several years to come. 
  6. 12.9inch iPad Pro. In this day and age, tablets are one of the handiest pieces of technology around. Once again if it has a screen, go big or go home! I’m not sure I could live without my iPad anymore. It has to go on my list. 
  7. Apple Magic Keyboard with Numeric Keypad and Apple Magic Mouse. The Magic Keyboard and Mouse are a great addition to any Mac. Yes, they come included with iMac desktops, but the included keyboards do not have the keypad. Some of the older Mac wireless keyboards and mice were not very good. This new design is much better though. 
  8. Razer Gigantus Gaming Mouse Pad. I absolutely love my maple live-edge desk. It is absolutely beautiful. My mouse, on the other hand, does not. It simply does not want to track. But, this Gaming Mouse Pad has come to the rescue. The mouse pad is also big enough where I do not always have to lift and re-place my mouse. 
  9. BILA Ergonomic Wrist Support. If you spend many hours using a computer mouse, a wrist support can be a real game-changer. The fact that the wrist support is not made into the mouse pad is big. The support can be placed anywhere you want it to. 
  10. Rocket Book. Do you find it easier to make hand written notes than typing them somehere? Wouldn’t be nice to have those notes organised on your computer or hard drive? This is exactly what the Rocket Book does. You have an eraseable notebook that you write in. Then you take pictures of the notes with your device and the notes are automatically sent to one of 7 storage locations of your choosing. You just have to mark one of the symbols on the bottom of the page. The Rocket Book is one of my favorite things, ever!
  11. Pilot FriXion Eraseable Gel Pens. If you are going to get or already have one of the Rocket Books mentioned above. I have to recommend the Pilot FriXion Pens. These pens are one of the best things to use on your Rocket Book or anywhere else you need to use an eraseable pen.

That is our list. Yes, it’s an odd number list, but why make an even-numbered list like everyone else? Plus, 11 is a prime number, who doesn’t love a prime number? 

Here at Open Roads Bookkeeping, we hope you have the happiest of holidays this year!
