Blimey.

Or maybe it means once you have got it to your home, school, office or wherever, you don't remove it again. Hence it is a stationary stationery set.
I knew a salesman who was driving through the sticks to get to an important appointment and realised he had forgotten to bring his notebook. He stopped at a post office in this tiny village in Norfolk to see if he could buy one. He couldn't see any books or even pens on the shelves so he asked the girl behind the counter if she kept stationery.

"Yes" was her reply. "Right up until the last minute, then I go wild"
