What stash of supplies should every office worker keep in their desk?

[Wes]

What are some essentials that make life at work easier if you have some stashed in your desk? I am thinking of things like spare plastic spoons, flavor packs for water bottles, glasses cleaning wipes, etc

When I was active in the office place, I always kept

• Hand sanitizer
• Cutlery Set (Fork, Knife, Spoon, Chopsticks)
• Men's quick groom set (has a disposable razor, a small pack of shaving cream, a finger toothbrush, and toothpaste)
• Charge pack for my phone (In case the power went out)

Well, we work outside. But stuff I can think of to help out, regardless:
-Bandages for small stuff like papercuts
-Flashlight
-Hand sanitizer
-Spare paper!

All you need is:
- half a roll of electrical or duct tape
- a small pocket knife
- a power bank to recharge small devices
- misc flash drives of undetermined origins
- loose change

Some things that I think are important are:

• A hand mirror & comb
• Travel toothbrush and toothpaste
• Chapstick
• Small umbrella in case you forgot your big one
• Packets of salt, pepper, maybe some hot sauce, salad dressing
• Oatmeal or poptart in case you had no time for breakfast
• stain removal pen
• Can of soup and a microwaveable bowl or instant ramen bowl/cup
• water bottles or reusable water bottle
• Maybe a roll of some nice TP instead of that awful stuff you find at work
