Moleskine Classic Leather Executive Notebook Hard Cover
₹2,499

Post-it
Post-it Super Sticky Notes 3x3 Inches 12 Pads (Cabinet Pack)
₹1,299
Super Sticky is roughly twice the adhesive of the standard formulation, and the place it actually matters is vertical surfaces -- painted walls and monitor bezels, where ordinary notes fall off within a day.
Full details →Who the Moleskine Classic Leather Executive Notebook Hard Cover is for
Buy it if: Ballpoint and pencil writers who want the build quality and the extras.
Avoid it if: Fountain pen users -- buy the 90 GSM Rhodia instead, which also costs less.
Who the Post-it Super Sticky Notes 3x3 Inches 12 Pads is for
Buy it if: Anyone using notes on walls, monitors or any vertical surface.
Avoid it if: Anyone who only sticks notes flat on a desk -- standard notes cost less and work fine.
