These are the 15 office essentials I'll be buying cheap in the Prime Day sales - and it's all the boring stuff I never remember until it's too late

I never believed the hype about Moleskine notebooks - until I used one. There's something very pleasant about using them, and the paper thickness makes the whole writing experience feel so much nicer. This hydrangea blue hard cover ruled notebook is one of the cheapest I've seen on Amazon. It holds 240 sheets, with an elastic closure band.

For the amount of paper you're getting, this is just about the cheapest printer paper I can find. Each pack holds 500 sheets, and there are ten reams here, totalling 5000 sheets. Sheets are 8.5in x 11in or Letter-sized, suitable for most printers and document printing needs.

I rather like this as an alternative to buying cans of compressed air - a USB air duster that comes with a range of nozzles, making it suitable for cleaning keyboards, computers, and even around the home and car. If you buy a lot of compressed air, you'll start saving pretty quickly with this one (and with less waste, too).

But if you prefer cans, I'm seeing a 3-pack of Office Depot compressed air cans now down to $17 at Amazon.

I always found true Post-it Notes to be the best, and there's usually a constant supply by my desk. This is the cheapest price for the most notes I can find from the brand, with 24 packs of 3x3in notes, coming in a range of colors and made from recycled material.

This year, I'm also very tempted by the 12-pack of lined Post-it Notes, which are discounted down to $15 at Amazon.

I have a confession to make. I love Bic pens. And I especially love the Round Stics. These pens dominate my pen pot, delivering a smoother writing experience than standard Bics and they last a seriously long time.

If you prefer the originals, a 10-pack is currently less than $1 at Amazon, too.

In my experience, you can never have too many paperclips - and you're getting 1000 of them in this deal, which bundles 10 packs each with 100 clips in them. This deal is on the non-skid variant, which should offer a firm grip but an easy release of your documents.

These are some of the cheapest legal pads I can find on Amazon in the 8.5x11in or Letter-sized form. There's yellow-tinted, making them easy on the eyes, with 30 sheets each featuring 11/32in line spacing.

I'd be lost without my weekly planner to plan out what I'm doing throughout the working week - so this is a must-buy. This one has 52 sheets, so it'll last you until next year's Prime Day, and alongside blocks for the week, there's space for notes, a to-do list, and a place to list your top priorities.

Coming in a range of colors to suit the workspace, this Bluetooth headset boasts ENC background noise-cancellation (so others can hear you on the mic), 120 hours use on a single charge, and an IP7 rating for water resistance. It also comes with a charging case that has an LED screen to see the current charge.

For me, this is one of those unsung heroes of Prime Day, where it almost always gets a discount in the sales. The Phomemo D30 is a handheld rechargeable label maker and thermal printer. This deal includes one roll of paper, but you can get other bundles, including the label maker and three rolls, four rolls, tapes, and even a case - all discounted on the page. Useful for keeping workspaces organized.

Printer ink is one of those things I always find myself rushing to the store to buy only when I absolutely need it when I really should stock up on it ahead of time. I've linked out here to all the printer ink on Amazon, so you can find the one that fits your printer, but I am seeing deals on ink from HP, Canon, Epson, and more.

A shredder is an absolute essential for any business, small or large - especially with data security being top of mind. And this is one of the cheapest you can get. It takes up to eight sheets at a time, and will cut both paper and plastic credit cards. A black 12-sheet model is also discounted, now $51 at Amazon.

While you can get cheaper desk fans (notably, this one for under $5), I rather like the wood grain effect of this model, giving it a more professional look for the office or home office. Like most mini desk fans, this one has three speeds, and a 360-degree adjustment to angle airflow into the right position.

This is one of those products I never remember until my desk is getting dusty. There's plenty of desk wipes with this buy, which bundles four rolls of 85 - two lemon scented and two fresh scented - for a total of 340 wipes.

Another top choice for those who like a clean and tidy workspace, this offers 100 screen cleaning wipes that are ideal for laptop screens, monitors, and TVs. The wipes are pre-moistened, lint-free, and anti-static, with Office Depot noting that they won't leave smudges or scratch marks either.
