I happened upon the Post-It Flag Pen/Highlighters during one of my “shopping for the kids’ school supplies” trips to Office Depot. (Any excuse to fawn over office supplies, right?)
I love these little guys! As the name so aptly suggests, they are a pen, that’s also a highlighter that also includes Post-It flags on the cap.
And the cheerful, slightly 80’s design makes me giggle.
Post-It Flag Pen/Highlighters
My favorite uses for these All-in-One Wonders:
1) My day job is in publishing, so when we’re in “proofing mode” these pens are life-savers. Being able to quickly jot a note, highlight a line of text and flag that page for our editor is such an efficient, time-saving way to work.
2) For Penelope Loves Lists, I’m often reading books that I want to review later for the blog. I can make sure not to miss any unmissable nuggets with this tool.
No question that we ALL can find uses for this kind of pen, right?
Three cheers for the 3M company! They’ve brought us so many useful things – Post-Its, Scotch Tape, I could go on. Don’t you just bet 90% of their workforce is full-fledged Penelope?

Hey girl! I wanted to congratulate you on being featured in Better Homes and Gardens! Super exciting! Hope your doing great! =)
@Jesse: thank you SO much for the head’s up. I knew the feature was coming out, but not exactly when. You’re the best!
Great tip. I need to get those.
Was just in Target yesterday and made a tour through the back to school supplies despite not having a child going back to school. I was especially giddy over a set of book covers with pre-formed doodles meant to be colored in with sharpies. Love this time of year.
Fabulous blog, I utterly love it! I will be flying the Penelope flag!

Oh, I MUST have a few of these!!
Three cheers indeed!
Wow, these look amazing! I’m an accountant, and I have a shameless love for office supplies
I’ve just discovered your site! I am so happy! I love, love, love it! What a great kick in the kiester this has been for me! I am rejuvenated and encouraged. I’m cleaning out that pantry TODAY!!
I love this blog! Thank you for your great insights into organization. I don’t know what I would do without you. Seriously.
I wanted to tell you about a website that I always think about mentioning to you and then forget. (It reminds me of you because it’s all about lists.) The site is http://www.househoncho.com
I think it’s a relatively new site, but I’m not sure. I’m not even sure this is the place to tell you about it, but it’d be a great addition to your list of sites that organize.
Thanks again for your great advice. I come here often!
I am in grad school and these pens are a lifesaver. If you need to buy a graduation (or at this time of year, back-to-school) gift, these are GREAT.
Stellar articles, would really like to see a bit more media though! One of my favorite subjects… Then again my site hasn’t many posts either – Great post anyway, added your RSS feed! Love this theme, too!
I’m stuck for time at the minute but i have bookmarked your blog and will be back again!
