Post-it emoji shaped note 50 sheets

Communication for the last few months has meant remembering to tell each other something over the dinner table, shouting from an upstairs window or sending text messages from rooms in the same house (likely for those with teens). But now, with everyone back out and about, it’s time to get back to basics and crack out the Post-it notes! These handy little slips of sticky-edged paper have been helping people communicate and remember important information for more than 40 years. The brand began when an inventor was trying to come up with ideas and kept sticking bits of paper to the wall, and the Post-it was born. Featuring popular emojis, this pack is sure to catch the attention of even the busiest teenager.
