This mahogany desktop container is pretty fun thanks to small, embedded magnets at strategic points. It can be a box, a tray, or two separate compartments simply depending on which pieces you let snap together.

Do you feel like sometimes you need a second desk for work overflow? Join the club. Perhaps adding the U Desktop Caddy by wstudiog will give you the extra storage you need, as it adds a long, vertical spot to stand journals, notes, gadgets, and writing utensils. The high sides keep your visual space uncluttered as well, which is always nice when things get chaotic.

Who doesn’t need a little help with storage? Inspired by the toolbox, this storage caddy is made of powder-coated aluminum and has integrated compartments to organize all sorts of stuff. A wood handle keeps it from being too industrial, and, of course, makes it very handy to tote from your desk to shelf storage spot.

Okay, so this letter tray will be the thing that finally makes sense of the paper mess sitting on your desk. With three oak trays, you have plenty of room to sort what’s coming and going, plus an extra level for a ‘what-the-heck-do-I-do-with-this’ pile. Each tray can be pulled out and taken to another workspace when needed.

Well, hello there. The Iso Organizer comes in a larger, longer profile, which is pretty perfect for organizing all sorts of papers, mail, and books. It’s made of heavy gauge cold rolled steel (6 lbs.) with a cork underside, so it’ll stay put without scratching the surface underneath. I have the original size (in blue) on my desk and I’m now trying to think if I need this larger version somewhere else. Hmm.

This Paper Display by Jamie Wolfond & Sam Anderson (and available from good thing) simply acts as a curved base to provide papers to stand. Think of it for displaying your current project paperwork or for showcasing photos and notes. (Update: Now made of powder coated aluminum, the price is more affordable at $14 instead of $39 when it was made of stoneware.)

Sure, it’s a simple sort of desk organizer, with various slots for office tools, but there’s three different version to suit your needs. Everyday office supplies will fit ‘The Classic‘, while ‘The Architect‘ has room for bulky marker pens and drawing materials. ‘The Geek‘ version holds a phone, a tablet, and batteries. Choose the one that suits you best.

How about a heavy, expensive bar of brass to organize your pens, pencils, and paperwork? A wide slot accommodates a mobile phone while the narrower channels will fit all sorts of notes, cards and lists. Use it as a storage spot for just the essentials or stuff it full with all the papers floating around your desk. You’ll at least look a little organized.

Who doesn’t love a cork board to keep important notes and correspondence handy? This Corkframe Pinboard upgrades your classic board with a thicker, more robust version. A cutout shelf at the bottom holds smaller items like pens, pencils, and keys, making the board your go-to spot for everything important. Rounded edges give it a polished look that will work for years.

All those little pieces of paper and bits and bobs scattered about, just where are you going to put them? Maybe on a perforated metal sheet, with a partial cork backing like this Pinorama Board by Inga Sempe for HAY? I’d say it’s as good as any other place, especially as it has a range of accessories (shelves, mirrors, cylinders, an elastic net(!), and hooks) to customize it just the way you want.

More Hay office miscellany, and this time it’s a tray for your writing implements and other small stuff. A sloped, scalloped surface provides ledges for odds and ends, and there are three sizes to fit however much you need. Do consider stacking several sized together for a bigger organizing option.

Small, turned, wooden magnets will only enhance those papers, notes, and tear-outs that create that elegant web of ideas you have, thus allowing that brain of yours to settle upon brilliant results previously unknown. These Standard Magnets are available from Fort Standard in a set of six and feature very strong rare-earth magnets, so they’ll hold up all manner of things (keys, perhaps?) with no problem.

Hey, how about a string, a weight, and some anchors to hold up your important photos and notes? That sounds dreadfully dull, but it’s not, I promise. My Spot is just a very, very minimal approach to a pin board. Gravity keeps the string taut, allowing the anchors to hold your postcards, calendar pages, and notes within reach and perfectly displayed on a simple, horizontal line. Switch out your items easily without succumbing to the mess of a traditional bulletin board.

A spiny head of a hand-picked teasel doesn’t sound pretty, but up close it’s a beauty to behold. Dipsacus fullonum is the plant’s proper name, by the way, and the prickly bracts are friendlier to inspect and admire when enclosed safely within polyester resin. It may be an excellent gift for anyone who appreciates botanical oddities, but I’d say you could justify purchasing one for yourself, as it is a paperweight, and therefore can be classified under office supplies. Do take a look at the full selection of Hafod Grange Paperweights, as you may want to start a collection (the Dandelion is spectacular).

Hmm, this little office caddy has caught my eye with its simple compartments for those small(ish) desk essentials. However, it’s not just for paperclips and rubber bands; stack a few for extra storage or use the steel frame as a stand for your phone or tablet. The frame may also be used as a handle if you tend to move around your home or office to work. And, it’s now on sale, from $80 to $32(!).
