Doodlers will be absolutely delighted to discover the Suck UK Stampler. The quirky [desktop device](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forming-function-nomad-collection) not only fixes sheets of paper together, but it applies a red imprint of a face, leaving the metal clip as a suggestion of the mouth.

Two dotted eyes and a text border define the adorable image, making class assignments, company handouts and workshop leaflets all the more lighthearted. A hybrid between a classic stapler and a [stamp](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bullet-journal-stamp-set), this playful product looks fairly ordinary until you use it. It was designed by Phil Jones in collaboration with Suck UK, and should really be a staple in one's [office supplies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stilo75-pen-holder).
