stationery item

Desk drawer thing

A stationery item is any supply used for writing, correspondence, or office work—pens, paper, envelopes, notebooks, staplers, paperclips.

The term distinguishes these goods from other office equipment like furniture or electronics: The supply closet was full of stationery items.

Often shortened to just stationery when context is clear.
