{Galison} + Giveaway

As a busy mom, I find myself using lots of stationary and things to keep me organized. I was very excited to discover Galison. Galison makes beautiful boxed note cards, decorative labels, organizers, desk items, and more using fine art and contemporary designs. And they have tons of great holiday designs too.  (Yep, it’s that time of year again.)   I love having beautiful desk of supplies to work with!

Their note cards are beautiful.  These are some of my favorities:  

 I especially love their organzing products. As a busy mom, I find that I’m keeping track of tons of things for myself and other family members. I got the opportuinity to try out one of their weekly organizers.  It’s available in tons of cute prints, but my favorite is the sleek, clazzy look of the modern geometry print.

It’s a nice folder with a magnetic clasp that contains weekly organizing sheets, three sticky note pads, a memo pad, and a reciept envelope. There are also other coordinating organization products including file totes, journals, file folders and more. The organizing sheets work perfectly for the way I keep track of things, and I love the tons of sticky notes so I can leave reminders for the kids (and myself).

And for kids, they have lots cool products available through their other store called Mudpuppy. They have beautifully designed toys, educational puzzles, games, stationery, diaries and more for kids.

Stop by Galison to see all the great prints that the weekly organizer comes in AND make sure to enter to win a Weekly Organizer in Modern Geometry print here at Smart and Trendy Moms.

{Chasing Treasure } +Giveaway

I love jewelry boxes. It is important to have a good jewelry box to keep your jewelry in good condition and well-organized so you can find what you are looking for. When she was little, we got my daughter a small box with two drawers to keep her plastic princess bracelets in. As she got older and has started to get more “grown up” jewelry, she continued to use that box and was constantly loosing earrings or bracelets and sometimes vacuuming them up (Yes, for anyone who has not done it, the vacuum does destroy earrings). As soon as we got her a jewelry box that was well-deigned and beautiful (about a year ago), she hasn’t lost or damaged a single pair of earrings! That. to me, proves the importance of a good jewelry box.

Chasing Treasure has some beautiful high quality jewelry boxes for women, men and for kids.

A good travel jewelry box is important too. When you go on a trip you want to make sure that you look nice, but jewelry can be challenging to keep track of in suitcases and hotel or guest rooms. You need a box to keep things well organized and keep things from getting damaged or lost. We got the opportunity to review a leather travel jewelry box. I love it. It is a great size and has space for a little of everything! The color and the quality are great and the lock and key are a great added feature to the box. Its a great way to take my jewelry along on any trips and have it organized and ready to wear.

Check out Chasing Treasure for jewelry boxes that would make great gifts, and if you are traveling this holiday season you can view their travel cases and jewelry wallets here.

{Trading Phrases} + Giveaway

Whether its a favorite saying, a motivational quote, wall art, or a family name, I love the look of wall decals. They personalize your space so much more than just a plain painted wall or a picture. Wall decals are adhesive vinyl that you apply to your walls or other surfaces. Another great thing about their wall decals is that while they look like they were painted on by an artist, they are totally easy to apply and totally removable.

Trading Phrases is a great place to find wall decals. They have lots of pre-designed decals and they also do custom work too. They offer lots of colors and have cute designs for all the rooms in the house. I got a chance to try one of their decals and chose a small decal that says “believe in yourself” with cute butterflies around it. I put it over the computer desk that the kids and I share.  I totally love it! 

The decal arrived in a tube which kept it in great shape and came with a plastic applictor to help put it on the wall.  It was also great that in addition to instructions, Trading Phrases sends a “trial design” to work with so that you can practice applying a decal correctly before you work with your actual decal.  I thought that was very nice since with these kinds of things I am always a bit concerned about messing it up.  After the trial, I was totally comfortable applying the design without worrying about ruining it.  And I think it came out great!
You can get your own wall art at Trading Phrases. 
Stop by their site and take a look at all of the great designs that they offer! 
Or here at STM you can enter to win an awesome 36 x 20 inch decal of your own
for the Bath (pictured below)!

{250 Die Cut Business Cards Giveaway}

If you are a business owner then you know how important contacts are! I sure do and have been known to drop my card at places like coffee shops, community boards among other places. Business cards create that physical reference to your business name and contact info- I really feel that if you are a small business, boutique owner, or even a blogger you need business cards to land YOUR brand! I have had much unexpected success just by mailing my cards in my orders, to friends, leaving in random places:)

I have had the pleasure of working with UPrinting a few times, once as a blogger and my husband has ordered a few cards from them as well! I loved their cards both times. They came out great with awesome customer service. They have so many options available for your business card needs. They got you covered in the fresh and fun area with their Die Cut Business Cards. These are so cool and really make a fun statement that those traditional cards cannot! I love them and am super excited because one of our lucky readers is going to get the chance to try out 250 Die Cut Cards of their own! Die cutting options available: Rounded Corners, Leaf, Rounded One-Corner, Half-Circle Side, Circle.

You can keep up with UPrinting on Twitter and Facebook!

{Brugo Mug} + Giveaway

I have been a coffee drinker for years and it is one of things as a mommy that i do for just me. I wake up early to enjoy it. I have never really given what i drink my coffee out of much thought. I mean i love my years old coffee mugs i have received as gifts or the ones the kids made in 2nd grade. But they are no more now that i have found Brugo! I was super excited to try one of their trendy mugs. The technology behind them is what makes these so great. They have a lock, sip or tip function that i think is awesome. My son is always grabbing my cup and with the lock he is more safe from mommies coffee. I think that they are perfect for the mom or coffee drinker on the go. The fresh fun colors make these mugs not only functional but so trendy! I enjoy my coffee more now, it actually taste better and stays warm!  I now can enjoy my coffee on the go. They even have a Sports Collection that i think are equally as cool! Any of these are going to make wonderful holiday gifts this year. You can get $25% off when you buy 2 or more and free shipping on orders over $50.00. See site specials for details .

You can get the Executive and Jazz collections for just $19.95 each
  • 16oz / 450ml capacity cup size – a large cup
  • Non-slip bottom keeping your coffee where you put it
  • Ergonomic grip for maximum comfort
  • 13 stylish colors
  • Stainless Steel and Chrome accents
  • Fits all cup holders

Brugo is unique and there can never be another cooling mug like it. The cooling chamber at the top works because you are separating the sip from the main chamber, the “brandy swilling” motion cools that sip in the top chamber. Most people use them for travel whether that be in the car, train or bus, in the office, at the home and especially by new mothers. Brugo offers an immediate solution to drinking tea and coffee on the go, in the office and at home. You can drink any hot beverage immediately… yes… no more having to wait 20 minutes for you first sip.
