"Its the simple things in life that are the most extraordinary". The duration of my life has been lived shackled by the ignorant preconception that this quote was fundamentally flawed. "Surely, by definition if something's extraordinary, it is something which is wonderful, different and more often than not, complex. The quote, therefore, is an oxymoronic contradiction." At the tender age of 17, I've realised just how sheltered a life I've been living. In a moment of impetuous spontaneity, I typed 'stationary' into the search bar with the intention of purchasing the very first suggestion. This product was the lucky winner and I apathetically bought it. Four days later, it arrived. I picked up the package, curious as to the contents: by this point I had forgotten about the mindless purchase earlier that week. As I ripped open the packaging and removed this from inside - I was taken aback. At first, you'll be hit by just how genuine-looking the synthetic leather is... it took me a while to settle the internal battle between whether it was real or not. Next, you'll notice how satisfying the padded coating is to hold, not only is it comfortable in the hand but it screams "class". It's now time to open it. The aesthetics of the colourful selection of tabs is, admittedly, a little overwhelming initially, but with some deep breaths you'll start to truly marvel at the sight of such an array of vibrant, clean-cut sticky tabs. Your attention will then be drawn, after some time, to the 'memo notes'. These are slightly blander in colour, but I feel this is needed to maintain a balance between richness and modesty. Above which is a transparent, plastic pocket, perfect for adding a note to personalise the item. The portability and compactness is balanced faultlessly with usability and quality of content. So now, I sit at my desk that little bit prouder, appreciating the elegance of my new synthetic-leather coated compact organisation of sticky notes and tabs on a daily basis. This product, while so beautifully simple, cannot possibly be described as anything other than "extraordinary".
