Q: where can you get 1KG of M&Ms, a quill pen, and 60 photos printed onto coffee mugs?
A: Officeworks Trinity Gardens.
This is my local go-to for all things stationery, office-y, and occasionally sugar-y, and with very good reason: choice.
The shelves are well stocked with everything you might need to get productive (except the motivation), with all the usual bits and pieces you can imagine stocking an office with. Laptops, speakers, stationery, chairs, paper... you could potentially set up an entire studio with this stuff.
I bought my first ever laptop (which sadly, wasn't a Mac - though I did learn about their superiority later) here, and got a great deal. Now, I head here for blank DVDs, basic pens and paper, and to print photos. The photo printing service is good (even though there's ALWAYS a line up) and the prints are cheap.
One note: parking is weird! If you enter off of Portrush Rd, keep a very close eye out for the entrance, as you'll have to do a U-turn if you're coming from the other side of the road. I have missed it on occasion. read more
