I may have mentioned my love of Stationery just a few time but clearly my subtle hints have not fallen on deaf ears as this week my poor overworked postman arrived with a box of supplies with a difference in honour of back to school week. Memo etc, the online office supplies store, have all the usual biros and printer cartridges but what they’ve sent me is part of their eco-friendly ‘Remarkable’ range which is created from recycled materials.
There’s a pencil case made from an old car tyre, recycled leather notebooks, colouring pencils made from cd cases and even rulers and biros that used to be corn on the cob. How cool is that? Here’s E putting some of them through their paces.
The boys love the idea that they used to be something completely different and I was really impressed that they still seemed really good quality, living up to my exacting standards. ๐
I have a family sized box of goodies to give away including:
- A pencil case
- A hardback note book
- 3 leather cover spiral notebooks
- A pack of felt tips
- A pack of coloured pencils
- A pack of biros
- Rulers
If you’d like to be in with a chance of winning then just leave me a comment sharing what you think is the most vital stationery item in your life and record your entry in the rafflecopter widget below. Personally I’d be lost without at least three notebooks on the go at once. You can get all the usual extra entries and record those too. The give away will run until Monday 16th September 2013.
