Chalkola White Chalk Markers Set (1mm, 3mm, 6mm, 10mm, 15mm)

This is a great set of chalk markers in different sizes. The markers are really good quality and they come with a set of sticker tags that you can use around your home for quick notes or to-do lists. I have mine stuck to my laptop, desk and fridge. A sponge eraser is also part of the set and erases the chalk completely with no effort, so the tags can be used endlessly. The different sizes are perfect to use for personal noting or to write big lettering or messages on glass or any large surface. I also use these markers on my art journaling as permanent marker when the surface is porous, but not on gessoed, ModPodged areas or on pastel colours as, otherwise, they aren't permanent. For the rest, they are great value for money.

Nouveau Strawberry Garden Paper Napkins

These paper napkins are just beautiful. Three-ply quality tissue paper, great quality printing and stunning colours. I use them for decoupage to create focal points, using different part of the imagery, but they will certainly impress my guests. Perfect for fancy picnics, high tea, Summer Xmas and any special summer/spring special occasion.A bit pricey, but totally worth it.

Faber-Castell Kneadable Eraser Grey

This is a weird eraser. I have tested it against other erasers, as per above photo, and this is the best of the lot. Yet, it feels weird. It smells and feels like Play-Doh, but it's actually rubber. It doesn't leave waste/dust behind, but it's a bit like having dry chewing-gum in your hands. A good odd eraser.

GHKJOK Portable Paper Cutter A4 & A5 Paper

This is a simple but effective cutter. It does the job for a fraction of the price other cutters do. It looks great on the table, it is lightweight, and the cutter cuts well. Measurements are both in centimeters and inches. On the other hand, the cutter is a bit rough, not really sharp, and the measurements on the pad, all being in black, aren't especially visible. One of my main issues with this product is the fact that there is no adjustable holds to hold the paper in a way that it doesn't move when you close the press. If you want a precision cutter, this is not for you. However, it is OK for general use and at a good price.

Westcott Circles Template., Jumbo

This is an A4 circle template/stencil made of good quality flexible plastic, with a great range of circle sizes. Easy to use whether just to draw in pencil or with paint. I've used it with both graphite and gouache paints, and it cleans easily. I would not use it with archival ink or any non water-based/distressing ink as it will stain the plastic. I'm happy with the product, but it's really pricey for what it is.

Yuroochii 360-Degree Rotating Pen Holder, 3 Slots

This pen holder looks small, but it's actually very roomy, holds tons of stuff and, that being the case, it saves desktop space. It rotates beautifully. No assembling required. It is made of good antique-white plastic, very skandie if you want, so it looks great anywhere you put it. Good value for money.

Ezonedeal Fridge Drawer Organizer

This fridge container and organiser is made of durable plastic, it has ventilation slots on the base,. It can be easily placed on a fridge tray and stays in place without moving or falling. Good for small pieces of fruit or snack veggies. As you can see in my photos, I put some small pieces of fruit in it, which is sort of bulky and heavy, and the container stands it without trouble.

However, this is a small container (see my photo beside an A5 notebook) and the handles are bulky so it bulks up the tray it holds onto, and you'll have to mind which sort of container you place on that tray. So, in a way, it adds storage space on the hanging part, but it reduces storage space on the tray it hangs from.

Expensive for what it is.

UPDATE 8/5/22
The basket slides out and falls on the floor when I get any container placed on it out of the fridge. This is so because the two handle grips are too wide for my fridge trays. This being the case, the product has become a nuisance instead of what an organiser is is or intended to be.
