Running out of printer paper or toner in the middle of a busy week costs more than the supplies themselves. A simple checklist and a monthly routine keep your office stocked, avoid last-minute shopping trips, and make your spending easier to control. Use this list as a starting point and adjust the quantities to the size of your team.

1. Paper and notebooks

• A4 copy paper. Most offices use more than they expect, so keep at least one spare box. Shop A4 and A3 copy paper.
• Envelopes in the sizes you post most often.
• Spiral notebooks and writing pads for meetings from paper and notebooks.

2. Pens and writing supplies

• Ballpoint and gel pens, kept in a shared drawer rather than on individual desks.
• Highlighters, whiteboard markers and permanent markers.
• Pencils, erasers and sharpeners. See all writing supplies.

3. Filing and organisation

• Box files and lever arch files for contracts, invoices and HR records.
• Document wallets, display books and suspension files.
• Paper trays and desk organisers to keep desks clear. Browse filing and organisation.

4. Desk supplies

• Staplers, staples and staple removers.
• Paper clips, binder clips and punches.
• Tape, glue sticks, scissors and ID card holders. Find them in desk supplies.

5. Ink and toner

Write down the exact model of every printer in the office and keep one spare cartridge for each. When a printer stops in the middle of an urgent job, a spare in the cupboard saves the day. Shop ink and toner.

6. Pantry and kitchen

• Tea, coffee, sugar and creamer.
• Cups, glasses, plates and cutlery, or disposables for visitors.
• Tissues and cleaning supplies. See the full pantry and kitchen range.

7. Office machines and IT

These are not monthly purchases, but check them each quarter: calculators, shredders, laminators and label makers from office machines, and laptops, storage and network items from laptops and IT.

A simple monthly restocking routine

• Choose one person to own the supplies cupboard.
• Pick a fixed day each month, such as the first Sunday, to count what is left.
• Set a minimum level for each item, for example two boxes of paper and one spare toner per printer, and reorder anything below it.
• Combine everything into one order instead of several small ones. It saves time and, at AED 100 or more, delivery is free.

Eid Al Etihad on 2 December is one of the busiest gifting moments of the year for UAE companies. In 2026 the country marks its 55th National Day, and many businesses thank their teams, clients and partners with a small gift before the long weekend. The best corporate gifts are useful, look smart on a desk, and arrive on time. Here are ideas for every budget, plus a simple plan so your order is ready before the rush.

Why useful gifts work best

A gift that gets used every day keeps your company in mind long after the celebration. Notebooks, pens, power banks and desk items are used at work, in meetings and on the move. They suit every nationality and job role, they are easy to deliver in bulk, and they do not spoil like food hampers.

Gift ideas by budget

Under AED 50 per person: for the whole team

• A quality notebook or diary paired with a smooth gel pen. Browse notebooks and diaries.
• A set of good pens or highlighters for daily use from writing and art supplies.
• A desk organiser or pen holder from desk accessories.

AED 50 to 150: for clients and partners

• A power bank or tech accessory. People keep these in their bag and use them for years. See tech gifts and power banks.
• A ready-made executive gift set with a pen, notebook and card holder from gift sets.
• A themed gift for the occasion from National Day, Ramadan and Eid gifts.

AED 150 and above: for VIP clients and senior staff

• A premium gift set combined with a tech gift.
• IT accessories such as a quality laptop bag from laptop bags and accessories.

Add a National Day touch

Keep the gift itself practical and let the presentation carry the occasion. Wrap gifts in the national colours of red, green, white and black, add a short thank-you card that mentions Eid Al Etihad, and include your company name on the card. It looks thoughtful without adding much cost.

Plan your order: a simple timeline

• Three to four weeks before: agree your budget and count how many people are on the list, split into staff, clients and VIPs.
• Two to three weeks before: choose the items and confirm quantities. Bulk orders of the same item are easier to source quickly.
• One to two weeks before: place the order and confirm the delivery address and date.
• The last week: pack, add cards and hand out the gifts before the holiday begins.
