I’ve seen the Fred line of products in catalogs before but haven’t ever gotten around to ordering any of them – no matter how cool. Fortunately for me, a brand new Sam Moon opened up in my county – and in their Luggage and Gifts store, I found Murder Ink.

These are the best post-it notes I’ve ever seen. The paper is in the shape of a stylized chalk outline body. The accompanying pen is white with a red paint splatter that corresponds with a hole in the “heart” of the notepad. The ink – of course – is red.

They’re very cool. They jumped off the rack and said, “Buy me” – and for a woman who’s best-selling piece of fiction to date is writing “Death”, it’s also appropriate. I don’t know how USEFUL it’s going to be, but they’re very, very fun and reasonably priced. And sometimes that’s really all that matters when it comes to office supplies.
