It’s best not to gossip or form secret alliances. Hopefully you are allowed to buy as many office supplies you need - electric stapler, manual stapler, postage stamps, rubber stamps that say fax, confidential, draft/etc, various binders in different sizes, folders, hanging files, scissors, ruler, 2 hole punch, 3 hole punch, etc.
