The lead up to the European Office Products Awards (EOPA) 2012 got me thinking about my own favourite office product, and it’s a tough call. 2011 was the year that I was introduced to the Sharpie gel highlighter, for example (I’m notorious for being behind the times). I was also given my own PaperPro stapler, which has made me a stapler snob.
