These funky file folders are perfect for [home and office organization](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-tab). They come in several great colors and even more importantly, they all have [bold statements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trollex) printed on them. My favorites are "BLAH BLAH BLAH," "Useless Documents to Appear Important in Meetings" and "Future Landfill."

I purchased my set at the Chapters bookstore in downtown Montreal. My clients always smile when they see their documents in one of these folders.

**Implications** - They prove that bland office supplies really can be exciting; after all, who wants to spend the majority of their day in a space that doesn't reflect their sense of humor?
