Mead Press it-Seal it self adhesive envelopes are truly convenient for business and home office use. I found a pack of fifty 4 1/8 by 9 1/2 inch white envelopes and brought them home to give them a try. I despise the taste of glue on regular envelopes. I found these envelopes easy to use. All you have to do is peel the backing off of the inside lip of the envelope and press down to seal it. I u...

A binder is necessary for me to be as organized as possible, and I want to review the five star binders from Mead.   I found a great deal when shopping for binders, and Five Star has here the greatest binder at the best price. The style is the only thing that could be better, as it does not look very attractive. This however does not make me dislike this product one bit, I love it! Ins...

How many of us are familiar with those small, adhesive round stickers which are put on filler paper when the holes split and the papers fall out? My two teenage sons were tired of having their school papers constantly tearing and falling out of their binders. I doscovered this reinforced filler paper in Staples and bought quite a few packages of it. We are all much happier nowas the papers neve...

 The new Mead "Press It/Seal It" envelopes have a great new feature that eliminates the very thing I hate about using envelopes - licking the awful glue to seal them! They come with an adhesive strip where the glue used to be. You just peel off the thin plasic cover to expose the sticky area, fold the flap over, press, and it forms a tight seal from edge to edge! No more ter...

Since I'm heading to Grad school in a few months I have been starting to think about notebooks and will once again use the Mead 5 Star notebook for my courseload.  All through undergraduate school, they were the only notebooks I ever used and they worked so well, I see no reason to change.I admit, I'm usually cheap and wait for the .10 notebook sale and stock up.  However, all...

I can't recall exactly how much I paid for these envelopes, but I know they were relatively inexpensive.  The Mead Security Envelopes I use most often are 4 1/8" x 9 1/2" (business size).  They have a printed lining inside for privacy.  You do have to lick them (or wet them in some other way) to seal them, but since I'm not using many of these envelopes at one t...

For several years now, I have bought (in addition to my large kitchen calendar) a small pocket planner. This has been a great solution for me. It keeps me organized with appointments, social engagements, special events, birthdays, anniversaries, etc. My plan is to always post the appointment in my calendar planner, and then transfer it to my kitchen calendar. This prevents d...

I am very picky about what notebooks I will write in.  I will search all day for just the write college ruled notebook, and when I stumbled upon a Mead Cambridge College Ruled Notebook that featured two pockets in the front and vanilla tinted pages I was thrilled.  I love how smooth the pages are, the length and spacing of the lines, and the folders in the front of the notebook are gr...

I've been using these notebooks since middle school. I love the spiral that allows you to fold back the notebook so even left handers can use it comfortably on either side of the pages. The covers are made of a polyethylene material that is very durable: this is not one of those notebooks where the cover gets torn off before you even have a chance to fill up the pages. In fact, it's nea...

Our pediatrician recommended Poly Vi-Sol when my baby turned one month old. If I remember right, the dosage was merely .3 of an ml. Poly Vi-Sol is good based on the nutritional information on the label because aside from its multi vitamins, it has iron. It is reasonably priced, it falls in the mid-range. My first problem is, it comes in a plastic bottle with a very heavy top. It usually falls o...

We recently found out that we are expecting our second child in January.  When I went in to my obgyn's office for my initial appointment, one of the things I was given was a sample of Expecta Lipil DHA supplement.  DHA is an omega-3 fatty acid.  It seems like over the last several years omega-3 fatty acids have been all over the news for their health benefits.  One of th...

We all need notebooks to record information in, and Mead Five Star Notebooks provide us with some of the most durable notebooks around. Their three subject notebooks are meant for students, but they are incredible for adults too. With countless pages, you'll never run out. UNlike cheap notebooks, these pages don't rip out randomly out of the spiral.This notebook is INDESTRUCTIBLE!!! Its...

 Mead Security Envelopes are excellent. We were given an office basket with supplies as a gift. These envelopes were part of this package. We really like them because they are not too thin and the glue always sticks. They came in a blue box and we received a forty count box. I really like the large size and they have come in very handy in the office. I was glad to find out about these, sin...

Ya I gave it a bad rating, on a recent trip to Las Vegas my mate and I decided to book a Grand Canyon tour. We booked online as we heard the prices go up once your there and already the prices were pretty steep so a friend told us about the respectable Vegas.com. We picked the tour that was right for us; a 3 hour flight of the Grand Canyon for those with little time on their hands.  The to...
