OXO has come up with a great feature on their new Good Grips Touch CanTM Trash Cans. By just touching the panel on the top of the trash can, the lid will automatically open and then stay open until you touch the panel again. This way you don’t have to worry about having to try and juggle your garbage so you’ll have a free hand to lift off and hold a lid while you put your trash inside.
Also, because of the narrow, rectangular footprint of the garbage can it’s easy to find a convenient place to keep it, whether in the corner, against a wall or basically anywhere. The opening is made wider than the base. This makes the OXO Good Grips trash cans a great choice for optimizing space. There are large handles on each side of the trash cans to make them very easy to move and because they come with a non-slip base, you won’t have to worry about scratching your floors. OXO uses their Unique Bag ClipsTM which are designed to hold the garbage bag from falling inside the can so you’ll never have to worry about tying the bag in place, and this way the garbage bag edge is hidden from view for aesthetic reasons.
OXO also has their regular Good Grips trash cans, which come with all the same features as the Touch CansTM, but use a foot pedal and a motion control device which guarantees that the lid will open and close smoothly and silently, instead of the touch panel on the lid. OXO Good Grips trash cans are a great looking, practical and are designed to look good no matter where they are used. |

Fellowes paper cutters and paper trimmers have been created with a level of quality we’ve come to expect from all of their products. As with Fellowes paper shredders , there is a strong emphasis on as evident by the name of the trimmers, SafeCut™. The rotary trimmers have unique and well thought out designs that serve specific purposes in preventing any accidental injuries. Fellowes has created a whole range of rotary trimmers, in enough styles that there should be one to fit any need and/or budget, with cutting capacities ranging from 10 sheets to 30 sheets. All of the Fellowes rotary trimmers except the Atom 150 and Atom 180 use replaceable blades that come in the form of snap-in cartridges. The blades stay completely enclosed inside the cartridge until they are placed in the trimmer and the handle is pushed down to start cutting. As soon as pressure is taken off the handle, the blade retracts into the cartridge so there is no way that the blade can come into contact with anything except the cutting surface of the trimmer. There are four different types of replacement blades: wavy, perforated, scoring and the traditional straight blade. Most of the trimmers have built in storage for the extra blades and replacing the blade cartridges is as easy as snapping them in and out. After time the cutting surface on the trimmer will start to wear out, so Fellowes made replaceable cutting mats, so you can be sure you’re getting clean cuts no matter how frequently you use your trimmer.
Just like with all of their products, Fellowes has found some interesting ways to optimize the level of safety while creating a highly functional and practical line of paper cutters.

Cyber Monday is to online shopping what Black Friday is to retail stores, a day when unbelievable prices and special deals are available on thousands of products. BuyOnlineNow is expanding their already extremely successful Holiday Office Supply Sale to include free shipping on all office supplies, office products and office furniture no matter how much they cost.
It has become a type of holiday tradition in America for shoppers to get up early in the morning on the Friday after Thanksgiving to go to retail stores looking for deals on what is now known as “Black Friday.” People will wait in line for hours in the cold to get one day only discounts that can take literally hundreds of dollars off the original price for items. Most stores have a limited amount of sale items and once they are gone, the sale is over. “Black Friday” also symbolizes the beginning of the Christmas shopping season which is the American retail industry’s most profitable time of year.
As more and more people are turning to the Internet for their shopping needs, it was only a matter of time until online shopping had its own version of Black Friday. Thus, Cyber Monday was born, and happens on the Monday after Thanksgiving. The idea of Cyber Monday is intrinsically the same as Black Friday, in that online stores and shopping outlets offer very special, limited time-only deals on tons of their products. Cyber Monday has been steadily gaining in popularity as many people see the benefits in shopping from the comfort of their home, and don’t see a need in getting up early and battling the weather and crowds to find the best deals.
www.BuyOnlineNow.com has already begun their Holiday Sale in which over a thousand office supplies and office products are currently on sale. They also are running a special sale on Fellowes commercial paper shredders in participation with Fellowes. Now, in order to provide their customers with even more incentive to shop with them, BuyOnlineNow will be, starting on Cyber Monday, offering free shipping on every single order placed with them. Normally, only orders over $99 would ship for free, but to keep with the Cyber Monday tradition in providing special deals to shoppers, all orders will ship for free no matter what the total price is. Also, BuyOnlineNow will be extending their Cyber Monday deal for an entire week, so any office supply order placed between December 1st and December 7th, 2008 will ship for free. - Related Links:

WEBWIRE – Tuesday, November 18, 2008 Office supply superstore BuyOnlineNow continues to offer great deals to their customers this holiday season, now with a limited time only Fellowes paper shredder sale. This comes right on the heels of their giant holiday office supply sale which encompasses hundreds of the most popular office supplies and equipment.
Fellowes has been producing some of the world’s finest office products, business machines and office equipment since 1917, when Harry Fellowes founded the company as Bankers Box storage boxes. Paper shredders have been one of the more popular Fellowes products since the early 1990s and the company has done an excellent job of adapting their shredders to meet the increasingly higher security demands. There are some really great and interesting technological ideas used in Fellowes shredders. For example, the Jam Proof series of paper shredders use a unique system that will not only alert the user if they are attempting to shred too many documents, which helps prevent jams to begin with, but they also are able to recognize a jam, and then correct itself, essentially removing the hassle of frustrating paper shredder jams.
Another great example of Fellowes shredders use of innovative technology is the patented SafeSense technology which uses a sensor that will determine if your fingers come too close to the shredder opening, and immediately turn the blades off. This is extremely important, especially for home shredder use, where kids and pets may be in the vicinity of the paper shredder. Fellowes shredders are available in cross-cut or strip-cut models, depending on the level of security needed.
BuyOnlineNow stocks a large number of Fellowes products, and recently began shipping certain items direct from the Fellowes manufacturing plant. This is the way they were able to pass on the very low prices offered in the Fellowes shredder sale. By giving customers the opportunity to purchase a Fellowes shredder at a much lower price point than normal, BuyOnlineNow hopes to not only build an even stronger customer base, but also to share their excitement in the Fellowes line of office supplies and equipment. Jeremy Nelson, marketing director at BuyOnlineNow had this to say, “With tax season approaching our goal with this sale is to give customers a high quality shredder at a fraction of the everyday price. It’s like getting a free upgrade to the shredder you really wanted to buy in the first place at an unheard of price.”
The sale is scheduled to last until the end of the year and as with all orders placed with BuyOnlineNow, anything over $99 ships for free. This includes all of the Fellowes shredders currently being offered at sale prices. - Related Links:

WEBWIRE – Friday, November 14, 2008 There are many reasons for BuyOnlineNow to be thankful this holiday season, and this giving spirit has translated into a giant office supplies sale on their web store. Items as varied as paper shredders, ergonomic office chairs , staplers, computer mice and more are all being offered at exceptional discounts. Not only is this their way of giving back to the loyal customers that have supported BuyOnlineNow all these years, but also a celebration of their tenth year in the industry.
The last ten years have seen BuyOnlineNow grow from a small, one-man operation into an international player in the office supplies and office furniture market with nearly 40 full-time employees. In 2000, Bob Herman, company CEO and President, started a tiny, office supply store on the internet. The odds were most definitely stacked against him, as the great dot-com bust forced the closure of thousands of websites. Through hard work and determination, BuyOnlineNow was able to thrive when so many of their competitors were dying off. BuyOnlineNow is celebrating their tenth year as an online office supply store this year, and to include their customers in the celebration, they have decided to offer discounted prices on many of their most popular items.
Nate Ende, Director of Development, who had a large hand in designing the look of the holiday sale, had this to say. “We wanted to accomplish a couple things in launching this holiday sale, first was to show a little glimpse of who we are by incorporating our employee’s choices of items they see as making great gifts, as this time of year, we are all looking for gift ideas. Add the fact that we spend a large portion of our lives here at the office, and it only makes sense that giving gifts for the office would be a practical gift idea. We also wanted to present a holiday feel throughout the site without dominating the experience, because we feel that there is such a thing as too much holiday spirit. The last thing we tried to accomplish was to get some really good prices for our top items in almost every category on the site in the hopes that we would draw on the expectations of shoppers this time of year to start seeing some price breaks and hopefully inspire some people to buy from us, see what kind of service we provide and become a valued customer for a long time.”
Understanding that the employees deserve credit for all they have done heighten the standard of excellence customers have come to expect from BuyOnlineNow, it was decided that the BuyOnlineNow employees would have a say in the holiday sale as well. Employees were asked what they thought would make great gift ideas, and are shown on the site with their picks. This is a nice way of introducing their customers to the people behind the scenes that are constantly working hard to make the store run as smoothly as it does. It also gives a good foundation of possible gift items that can be found on BuyOnlineNow. Items such as dry erase boards, pen and pencil sets, headphones, computer backpacks and personal paper shredders are some of the items found on the employee picks page. Of course, no holiday gift idea list would be full without the ever popular red Swingline stapler made famous in the movie “Office Space.”
BuyOnlineNow understands that this is the time of year when we are overcome with the feeling of giving, and by offering their customers added savings they hope to help spread the holiday spirit to everyone. |

“I smell vodka.” My boss says this every time anyone in the office uses some hand sanitizer. The reason that he thinks he’s smelling vodka, is because there is in fact alcohol in hand sanitizer, up to 62 percent in the Purell brand. Ingesting hand sanitizer would equate to drinking 120 proof liquor. However, this doesn’t mean that you should drink hand sanitizer to get drunk. Actually, it can be very dangerous for you and can lead to alcohol poisoning which can be fatal. It seems like in every office across America, on just about every desk there is a bottle of hand sanitizer. People carry hand sanitizer in their pockets and purses everywhere they go. Sometimes it can even be seen on key chains, dangling from a clip, waiting to be used. Hand sanitizer has become as necessary to some people as their eye-glasses, wallets or even clothing. It is important to make sure that children only use hand sanitizer under strict supervision, as it would not take very much for a child to become very sick. There have been reported cases of children ingesting hand sanitizer and becoming very ill, and having to go to the hospital. So, no matter how bad of a day you're having, or how much you feel like you need something to help you unwind at work, you should never, ever try to drown your sorrows in a bottle of Purell hand sanitizer. |
