I've got a great mnemonic for remembering stationAry and stationEry. "E is for envelope."

 

Sorry.

 

I like the list, but Blu Tack would replace Mini Stapler. Mini staplers are horrible and break easily: I like my staplers hardy and chunky. A certain robustness is required when stapling that a Mini Stapler just can't manage. And Blu Tack is just ace when it's new, everyone knows that.
