Don't let the title mislead, Martha didn't really create Filofax-related items. However, a lot of her Staples-exclusive items can be used for a Filofax.
As I left for the US, I knew that I wanted to check out her line at Staples. I had browsed the Staples site previously and knew what items I could use for my Filo. But of course, there's nothing like seeing it for yourself. And while in Staples, I was thrilled at the amount of stuff she had. There were two full aisles of Martha goodness. Unfortunately, I didn't take a photo. (I never remember to take photos when needed, sorry.)
I had to contain myself. (: There was so much stuff to choose from. And, knowing Martha, all of them are functional, and pretty to boot. I had to be brutal and get only the items I knew I could use and narrowed it down to a few things.

| The Martha Stewart for Avery haul. Not big. |
My favorite of the haul is the Planner Insert. It fits the Personal perfectly and contains 20 tabs and 50 ultrahold sticky notes. I'm already using it in the Chameleon. I also got some for my mom, sister and daughter.

I love accordion files! I have a few that I use to store Filofax inserts and I wrote about it here. I figured I could always use one more. (:
I had previously been looking everywhere for metal bookplates but they're usually expensive elsewhere. I was happy to find them in packages of 3 and 6 for big and small sizes respectively.

You could never have enough sticky notes, right? Perfect excuse to get a package of these lovely scrolled ones.

| More sticky notes and metal-rimmed tags. The tags were a gift from my sister. |
Lastly, another gift from my sister, a 40-pack of Note Tabs that didn't make it to the photo above. There are 10 of each color, plenty to go around.
Like I mentioned, there were tons of stuff. Unfortunately, I don't think Staples ships internationally, so if there's anything else I have a hankering for, it will have to wait.
For now, I'm happy with what I got and will put them to good use immediately.
Thanks for visiting!
