Sticky Note Holders Review: Stencil Holder vs DELI Storage Tray — The UK Desk Organiser's Best Upgrade

Sticky notes are one of the most useful desk tools available — but loose pads scattered across a desk are a clutter problem rather than an organisation solution. The Sticky Note Holder with Stencil — 3x3 with 4 Color Sticky Notes and the DELI Nusign NS138 Sticky Notes — 4-Color Set with Storage Tray solve this with two different approaches to sticky note organisation — both of which transform a cluttered desk into a functional, beautiful workspace.

Sticky Note Holder with Stencil: Organisation Meets Creativity

The stencil holder is a genuinely clever product — a sticky note holder that doubles as a stencil, allowing you to add decorative borders, shapes, and patterns to your notes before writing on them. The 4-colour sticky note pads are included, giving you everything needed to start creating beautiful, personalised notes immediately.

The Stencil Advantage

For UK bullet journallers, planners, and anyone who wants their desk notes to look as good as their journal pages, the stencil feature is a genuine differentiator. Rather than plain rectangular notes, you can create notes with decorative borders, speech bubbles, arrows, and other shapes that make important information more visually engaging and memorable. Research in cognitive psychology suggests that visually distinctive notes are more likely to be noticed and acted upon than plain ones.

4 Colours: Colour-Code Your Priorities

The 4-colour note pads allow a simple but effective colour-coding system: one colour for urgent tasks, one for follow-ups, one for ideas, one for reminders. The holder keeps all four colours organised and accessible, making colour-coding effortless rather than requiring a search through multiple pads.

DELI NS138: Design-Led Organisation

The DELI Nusign NS138 takes a different approach — a beautifully designed storage tray that holds four colour-coded sticky note pads in a clean, organised format that looks as good as it functions. The Nusign aesthetic — clean lines, considered proportions, and quality materials — makes this a desk accessory as well as a functional tool.

The Storage Tray Advantage

The storage tray format keeps all four note pads in a single, stable location on the desk — no more pads sliding around or falling off the desk edge. The tray also makes it immediately clear when a pad is running low, so you can restock before running out entirely. For UK home office workers who want a clean, professional desk setup, the NS138 tray is a significant upgrade over loose pads.

Which Should You Choose?

• Stencil holder — best for creative professionals, bullet journallers, and anyone who wants to add visual interest to their notes
• DELI NS138 tray — best for professionals who prioritise clean, minimal desk aesthetics and functional organisation
• Both — use the stencil holder for creative brainstorming notes and the DELI tray for task management and reminders
