Rhodia
Rhodia Webnotebook A5 Dot Grid Journal (118769)
₹1,899
90 GSM Clairefontaine paper is the entire reason to buy this over any other A5 notebook, and it is the specification neither this nor its main rival prints on the cover: at 90 GSM fountain and gel ink do not bleed through, so both sides of every page are usable.

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 Rhodia Webnotebook A5 Dot Grid Journal is for
Buy it if: Anyone writing with a fountain pen or wet gel ink who wants to use both sides of the page.
Avoid it if: Anyone who only writes in ballpoint -- the paper premium buys nothing then.
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.
