Switch Sticky Notes

Yet another clever sticky note design. The staple stationery item becomes even more functional in the form of Switch Notes. This pad of sticky notes has a hole in the middle, just the right size to fix to a traditional light switch. There is even a small lip at the top to store your pen or pencil behind.

No one leaves the house with the lights on (I hope...) so no excuse for not getting things done!

Check it out.
