Carolina Pad Review & Giveaway – US/Canada (Ends 8/17)

So my favorite Back to School memory is school supply shopping. Something about getting fresh and colorful notebooks and folders and pencils, just gets me all excited. I remember how everything had to match and coordinate and then how gently I would use everything the first few weeks of school. I always figured that if I have to use boring old white notebook paper and folders, at least it should be fun to use!

Carolina Pad is a company that started out as a small school supply wholesale company and since has turned into a regional design company that has sells their products at all our favorite retailers (Target, Wal-mart, CVS, Walgreens, and Staples.) By transforming the stationery industry to include fashion school and office products, Carolina Pad was the first company to add these fun designs. With passion, research, and exquisite attention to detail, the Carolina Pad designers stay on top of upcoming fashion trends. (You can even catch a glimpse of their collections on 90210, Greek, and Gossip Girl!)

Another great feature of Carolina Pad is that they have an awesome website. It is of course as organized and colorful as their products. Not sure what products who work with your personality, visit the “Our Collections” tab and from their read each style description to simplify your choices or if you are looking for specific products then check out the other tabs corresponding to school, personal office, and arts & crafts.

Even if you don’t have kids that need school supplies, who says that adults can’t get a little excited about matching and colorful office supplies! After searching around Carolina Pad, they really have everything and anything to make organizing and writing fun!

I warn you though once you start coordinating your office, it is addicting and you realize that you need everything to match!
