Carolina Pad

School is Almost Back!


School is almost back and the fun part for kids and school are shopping for the school supplies.  Although our wallets take a hit, it is fun helping them choose what is cool and what will fit their personalities.  So many things are marketed towards kids (and adults) that are part of the media hype of who is in or what is popular.  I was provide an opportunity to receive complimentary samples from the collection of Studio C by Carolina Pad.  


Carolina Pad Designs:


Carolina Pad's brand is everyday products. extraordinary design.  I completely agree with that after having a chance to review what I received as well as checking out their site.  I went to Walmart the other night and saw the very same products I was lucky enough to review which is the first time I have ever seen them at stores.  No matter what your preference is, there is a set for you.  I reviewed products from the Rock On, Peace Out, Mo'Rockin, Free Spirit, Graffiti, Rising Sun and Eye Candy sets:

  1. 1-subject notebook - MSRP $2.50
  2. 18 month planner - MSRP $4.00
  3. 2-pkt folder (3 pack) - MSRP $2.50
  4. 1" binder - MSRP $2.50
  5. Composition book - MSRP $2.50
  6. Ideal book - MSRP $2.50
  7. Pens - MSRP $2.50
  8. Pencils - MSRP $2.50




 

 



Each product was of high quality and had nice features.  The spiraled notebooks allowed pages to be torn out with the perforated edge to ensure the pages are nice and neat.  The Ideal Book contained three sections with two tab dividers.  It even had a little envelope in the front to store something small.  The pages also allowed for a perforated edge to keep each page nice and neat.  The 18 month planner is one of my favorites as I'm going to use it to keep track of not only birthdays and special occasions but also my blogging items.  It couldn't have arrived at a better time.


The notebook, folders, binders, pens and pencils will go directly to my middle child for school.  It's trendy yet great for kids.  The nice thing about the styles, they are appealing for both adults and children.  The pens and pencils write as you would expect and are smooth.  I'm picky about my pens but these are nice and I will definitely use one for myself!  


All in all, I would recommend Carolina Pad for both kids and adults for work, play or school.  They provide a variety of products to suit many styles.

I was misdiagnosed as an adult with epilepsy for seizures-turns out it is really Lupus. I was an adult on tons of anti-seizure meds and it was tough, so kudos to your friend as a child for being so strong!

  130. Thanks, Diane! Lupus versus epilepsy? Seems to be way out there for them not to diagnosis it properly but glad they did for you and I pray you keep it under control! Thanks for the vote for my daughter! I am also praying she outgrows it as I don't like the idea of her on these medications daily for the rest of her life! Thanks again!
