Moleskin Notebook ($15) – My favorite is the “Large Ruled Journal”.
I keep one at home and one at work. Makes it easy to jot down notes, take to meetings and doodle during conference calls.
Clinique Facial Soap ($22) – Not cheap for soap but it lasts a long time. I’ve been using this for years and it’s the best.
Sigg Water Bottle ($20) – I keep one at work and one at home. Super well-made and water just tastes better out of these.
Red Swingline Stapler ($15) – Perfect weight, perfect form in the only color giving you Office Space cred. I keep one at work and one at home. 
Griot’s Speedshine ($10) – Sometimes your car is a bit dusty but you don’t want to wash it. This is the stuff you want in those situations. It’s so good it makes your car look like you waxed it.
Ratpadz Mouse Pad ($15-$25) – If you try one these, you’ll never want to go back to cheapo mouse pads. Smooth as butter and will last forever.
Parker Jotter Ballpoint ($5) – Parker has sold 750 million of these pens since 1954. The original, the icon. You can spend a lot more but you don’t need to.
Henckel Nylon Turner ($15) – We have two of these and they get used more than any other kitchen utensil we own. You can’t go wrong with any of the Henckel tools but this one is my favorite. 
Oral-B Vitality Toothbrush ($20) – I like this model better than the $80 one I bought years ago from Sonicare. It can go several days between charges, is inexpensive and replacement brushes don’t cost an arm and a leg. Costco carries a 2-pack for under $30.
