Our Sticky Note Day series ha ventured into playful and unique styles of sticky notes but today, we are going to discuss the “cadillac of sticky notes” — the Midori MD A7 size Sticky Memo Pad ($11). I purchased the blank style as that feel most like a classic sticky note but with premium Midori MD paper stock. Midori also offers these little treasures in dot grid, graph, lined and frame (blank with a line around the edge). Each pad has 80 sheets which is considerably more than most (30, 40 or 50 sheets at most) so that helps defray a little bit of its premium price.
The memo pad comes with a wraparound paperboard cover to protect the paper. It’s a nice touch, especially if you put your sticky notes in a pouch or slide it in and out of a bag.
And what is nest about the Midori MD sticky memo? The paper, of course! All my daily pens– brush pens, fountain pens and gel pens– work beautifully.
The A7 size (2.9″ x 4.1″) is a little longer than the standard Post-It note size (3″ x 3″) so instead of square, they are oblong. The extra space is not dramatically large but its worth noting.
Viewing the back… no bleed through and minimal show through so of course, I’m thrilled.
Yes, the Midori MD Sticky Memo Pads are pricey but there is a good amount of paper, a nice protective cover and, most importantly, paper worthy of a paper snob like me.

I didn’t think these were sticky enough (they kept falling down). I do, however, like and use their glue-bound memo pads, and just use a stray piece of Washi tape to keep the memo in place.
