Essential Accesories & Tools For Starting Your Job

Hey all,

I just started an internship and found that I had to go shopping for quite a few things after not having them readily available in my first few days. I noticed there isn't a thread like this on WSO - so let's get one started!

What are your essentials for work? What do you have and where did you get them? Favorite and most reliable stores/brands/items - share them all. What should an intern in Finance always have readily available, and bring with on their first day?

Examples: Calculators, Briefcases, Laptop Holders, Notecase, Backpacks, etc.
