The start of a new year is the perfect opportunity for team members to set new goals and plan for a productive 2025. A team equipped with the right tools is a team set up to work more efficiently, stay focused and take on the year ahead.
We asked Maritoni Renaghan, Category Manager – Office Products, for her insights into the five must-have workplace essentials for 2025.
1. Experience smooth and uninterrupted writing.
Even in a digital age, there’s still a need to take notes, sketch or express thoughts on paper. The BIC® Softfeel retractable ballpoint pen offers a comfortable, non-slip grip to make every stroke a pleasure. It’s also PVC-free and designed with minimal raw materials, making it an eco-conscious choice.
“These blue ink pens by BIC provide a smooth and quick writing experience with quality ink that dries fast. It’s a reliable choice for taking notes in meetings, signing important documents or planning your day on paper,” says Maritoni.
2. Find your headset companion for hybrid work.
Say goodbye to bulky headsets with the Jabra Evolve2 65 Flex Link380c USB-C MS Stereo Headset. This headset boasts a unique fold-and-go design for ultimate portability. The Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation ensures you stay in your zone even in the busiest environments.
“With Jabra’s ClearVoice microphone technology and a mute feature, you’ll always be heard and hear others crystal clear in meetings – it’s even Microsoft Teams Certified,” says Maritoni.
3. Make your ideas stick – with essential adhesive notes.
Sticky notes can be placed on doors, windows or walls in the office and are ideal for reminders or brainstorming thoughts. Sticky notes such as the Post-it Super Sticky Recycled Notes Cabinet Vivid Nova Neon Pack 24 offer twice the sticking power so your message stays front and centre. These sticky notes are made from recycled paper sourced from responsibly managed forests.
“Sticky notes make it easy to jot down thoughts, tasks, projects or ideas. The three vibrant colours help you organise and categorise your notes effectively,” says Maritoni.
4. Stay sharp – with intense espresso capsules.
When deadlines are approaching or when team members need a caffeine boost, try L’OR Espresso Coffee Capsules Intense Collection Box 40. This collection offers four different blends including Supremo Intensity, Ultimo Intensity and Onyx Intensity, to cater for all taste and strength preferences. Rainforest Alliance Certified, these capsules can be conveniently recycled with Terracycle®.
5. Keep your workplace clean and fresh.
Keep your workspace fresh and hygienic with Pine O Cleen Biodegradable Disinfectant Wipes Lemon Packet 110. Designed to tackle germs and food spills, these lemon lime scented wipes make it easy to maintain a clean desk. With 110 wipes in each packet, they provide a convenient solution for wiping down surfaces and ensuring your workspace stays clean throughout the day. They are also a great option for wiping down kitchen sinks and benches.
“A quick wipe-down of your desk at the start of your day can help eliminate 99.9% of germs and bacteria that can linger on surfaces, leaving you with a cleaner environment for the day,” says Maritoni.
