Powered by Mom talks about how Staples is for more than just office supplies!
I have found a lot of times people only think about Staples for office supplies but they have so much more than that. Sure I've bought office supplies, I always seem to get my special Microsoft Natural Keyboard from Staples too whenever I've had to replace it but there is so much more. We had to go to Staples in late September for some specialized school supplies for my daughter (once school finally started here in BC).
We've also gone there for art supplies, office furniture, headphones, iPods, unique gift ideas, a desktop computer and many more things. Staples is one of our favorite go-to stores for school and office supplies They carry a wide variety of all the essentials need for back-to-school and throughout the school year. Even though school has been back for a few months now for must, supplies are one of those things that are needed all throughout the year. Kids run out or they have special projects that need different things. It's nice to be able to stop into Staples and pick up whatever items that are needed.
My daughter started high school this year so it's a whole new ball game for her, so between that and my own business we realized as a family we needed a new laptop computer. Our current laptop was old, not very fast and definitely not getting the job done. We couldn't go with a super high end one due to budget and we do have two very good desktop computers at home so a high end laptop was not at the top of our list.
However, not going for top of the line doesn't mean we didn't need a good quality laptop. We still needed it to be fast, have a lot of memory, light but not too small and not too big for when I travel with it and on days my daughter may need to bring it to school. Fortunately for us Staples has an amazing variety of laptops to suit all budgets. We looked at the tablets, all sized laptops and even desktops again. With the help of a friendly and knowledgeable Staples computer staff member we finally selected a laptop that suited our budget and met all our needs, in fact it exceeded, that made me very happy!

We got an Acer laptop (as you can see above) and it has been used constantly over the last few weeks, we are beyond happy with it. My daughter is constantly using this laptop so I think it was an excellent choice for us.
I just have to mention that during our shopping trip to Staples I found out that they carried even more gift items than I realized! I knew they carried some gift items as I've looked at some in the past but did you know they also have gift baskets? Yes they do, just like the one below which you can see HERE on their site!
Beyond school supplies and electronics, Staples also offers everything you need for the home office. Need a new office chair? Staples is the place to go!

Thanks so much for the Fantastic Review on Staples more than just office supplies! I know that they carry an awful lot of things! I saw that they had watches, Ink, CD's, DVD's, paper, pencils, pens, markers, poster paper, and oh so much more! I've gone there to get Printer Ink many times! I was really surprised at the things they did carry when I took a look around! They even carry some luggage and luggage tags of all sorts! They even have a UPS place in our Staples here! I really do like that they carry so much because I know where I can go to get exactly what I need for a school project or whatever! Thanks so much for sharing your fantastic review and the information on everything they carry at Staples as well as the Lap Top that you purchased with all of us! I truly do appreciate it! Thanks again! Michele 🙂
I didn't know that Staples had so much variety!
I live fairly close to a Staples store but never actually went in because I assumed that they only carried office supplies like printers and pens. Never expected stuff like gift baskets!
Thanks for the info!
Last year they had several As Advertised on TV items on sale and I purchased many purse organizers that I really use and appreciate. I never would have thought Staples would have these.
People love going to Staples for their office supplies and other things besides.
