Carolina Pad Mother’s Day Packages Review & Giveaway! (Ends 4/30)

Since I spend a lot of time in my office, I like to be surrounded by nice office furniture and office supplies.  Well Carolina Pad is one company that definitely makes me smile, even when I am paying bills!  With their stylish paper clips, notebooks, organizers and more, my office is definitely colorful (I didn’t say completely clean and organized though!)  If you haven’t heard of Carolina Pad before, they are the industry leader in fashion school, office, and organizational products.  Their products are trendy and popular (even seen on “Glee!”, “Desperate Housewives”, “90210” and “Greek”) but that doesn’t mean they are just for kids in school either!

Well just in time for Mother’s Day, Carolina Pad is featuring two packages that are sure to make any mom smile!

• Simply Chic mom package costs $30 and features a laptop sleeve, binder, push pins, paper clips, a note tote and a flip top notebook.
• The Eye Candy mom package costs $10 and features a 13-pocket expandable file, a 1-subject notebook and a personal clutch.

I got the chance to check out these packages and I have to say everything is of course adorable!  As a mom, women, and blogger, Carolina Pad really has great products for getting and staying organized!  First, I fell in love with the green and white polka dot Simply Chic Laptop Sleeve.  It is an essential for me because I admit I do throw my laptop in a tote bag along with my son’s toys, extra clothes, and sippy cups when we go somewhere.  This laptop sleeve is not only fashionable but also adds protection for your laptop without adding bulk.

Next I received a few Simply Chic Note Totes.  At first I was like “What would I use this for?”  Then I realized that the possibilities are endless.  It is great for a handful of documents that you need protected and great for taking it with you.  For example, receipts, bills, documents for closing on a house, or anything!  It doesn’t hold to much, which I like because sometimes I just want a few papers but I don’t want them crumbling in my purse or having them fall out.

Next I received a Flip-Top Notebook and 1-subject notebook.  These speak for themselves, but I must say they are a lot cuter than the primary colored notebooks kids have!  I especially love the Flip-Top Notebook because something about flipping up the cover just makes writing in it cooler!  Both are also durable so the front/back covers are not going to rip off easily.

The 13-Pocket Folder is another item I received and is perfect for bills, receipts, or anything else that I decide to organize in it.  It is not too bulky but still big enough to hold 13-pockets of documents!  The clutch I received is basically a grown-up pencil case, perfect for pens, paper clips, and post-its when I need to work on the go.  Finally I received Binder Clips, Push Pins and Paper Clips, all adorable and perfect for coordinating documents!

BUY IT: Check out Carolina Pad’s website for all their products or check their Store Locator for where to find their adorable items (Kmart, Walmart, Target, and Walgreens are just a few of the retail stores!)
