New in @ Busy B Stationery

Stationery, among many other things, is a weakness of mine, I can't get enough of notebooks, sticky notes, pens, memo pads, I think you get my point. A fresh new notebook or new stationery in general makes me plan and organise better and it gets me motivated again; also beautiful new stationery is the best kind of stationery.

I have worked with the lovely people at Busy B before and I was so excited when I had the opportunity to try out a few products from their new *and amazing* fashion range even before it came out online! I did squeal slightly...ok, quite a lot when I received the package a couple of weeks ago. The photos really aren't doing the products justice, they are SO pretty with such a high quality feel and gold detailing.

- *Busy B Zip-Up Coin Purse (£12.99): How adorable is this cute coin purse! I love the simple but spring like fresh design and it is so handy. It has a travel card pocket and a zip up space for coins and or cards. I know my sister would love this as she doesn't carry a large purse as I do so I think she'll be wanting this from me! It comes in a cute box so it would make a lovely little adorable but practical gift for mothers day!

- *Busy B Page Markers (£3.99): When I'm reading a book, magazine or cookbook I always find page markers so handy to highlight interesting pages or information and these are the cutest page markers ever. They are cute and colourful and they would also be perfect for your planner/diary to mark special occasions or birthday etc. I will be using them as page markers and in my diary, especially as my diary is from Busy B too - they could also make revising and studying more interesting and colourful! The price is fantastic, in my opinion, as you get 105 sticky page parkers which are usually much more expensive or not as cute.

- *Busy B A5 Notebook (£8.99): Last but not least, my favourite item, well there are all gorgeous! I love the rich turquoise blue/green contrasting against the foil gold stripes *you know I never met a stripe I didn't like*. I think it looks so chic but playful and cute. It is lined and it has the same floral pattern as the purse inside so they would be a perfect pairing as a gift. For some reason I always thought that A5 notebooks were tiny but they aren't, they are a perfect size actually - large enough to write in properly but small enough to still be portable and travel friendly. Also it has a pocket inside that could be really useful or receipts, little notes or tickets.

Overall, the new fashion range is a fairly small collection but it is so chic and cute, it would be perfect for those who like high quality and unique stationery but with a much more reasonable price point. I always find interesting and well designed items on Busy B that I don't tend to find anywhere else. I have quite a few items from Busy B now and I cannot recommend their stationery enough! Overall rating: ★★★★★, 5/5!

Too Wrapped Up: Cute + Fancy Stationery

If you've been following my blog for a while then you may know that I am a bit of a stationery addict, I have a stationery drawer...I always love to buy more! So when the lovely people at Too Wrapped Up got in touch about reviewing a couple of their gorgeous stationery items, I was so excited! 

The item I chose was the *Letterpress Bee Notecards (£14.99) which are easily the most intricate, luxe notecards that I've owned - I don't want to use them, they look too pretty and delicate! Even the box they come in is gorgeous with gold ink stating 'meticulous ink fine stationery' on the front, so I think it would make a lovely, fancy gift. 

In each pack there are 10 single cards with tissue lined envelopes  and they are so fancy. The bee embossed onto the top of each card is just adorable and the yellow tissue lined envelopes just make any stationery item look and feel so much more expensive and special. 

I also received an adorable *Creatures of the North Notebook (£7) which instantly makes me think of Game of Thrones and there is a wolf/dire wolf looking animal on the notebook. The notebook cover is printed onto recycled card and the pages are made from FSC approved stock which is fantastic. There are 100 pages which are lined and I cannot wait to start using it - I will be using mine for blog post ideas and blog notes. 

Overall, I'm really happy with both stationery items, they are cute, luxe and the Letterpress Notecards are super fancy and special! I think both items would make lovely birthday, graduation or Christmas gifts, yes, I am already thinking about Christmas! They have a great range of gorgeous stationery so definitely check out their site.  Overall rating: ★★★★★, 5/5.
