Let's make this birthday one to remember.

76 years old (Born on January 18, 1949)

Happy Birthday, Thomas! Wishing a fantastic day to the man who made office supplies exciting—no easy feat. Your visionary idea of Staples didn't just revolutionize paper clips and printer ink; it gave us all an excuse to wander aisles filled with pens we never knew we needed.

Beyond your legendary entrepreneurial spirit, you've shown unwavering support for Mitt Romney from his earliest days in politics. Clearly, you have impeccable taste—not only in business ventures but also political candidates!

Here's hoping this birthday is as organized yet fun-filled as one of your iconic stores. Cheers to another year stapled together by success!
