Posted on November 28, 2015November 20, 2015 by Adventures in Polishland

Happy Saturday! The holiday season is in full swing, and I thought I would share some gift ideas for one of my favorite online stores, Erin Condren. If you’ve been following my blog or YouTube Channel for the past five months, you’ll know that I invested in an Erin Condren Life Planner. I absolutely love it, and I’ve also discovered many other items on Erin Condren’s website that are amazing quality. If you have a planner or stationary lover in your life, I highly recommend purchasing some Erin Condren goodies for her. While they are a bit more expensive, they make excellent gifts. I put together a gift guide of the top ten products on Erin Condren’s website that I think make the perfect presents for planner lovers!

First things first, I just want to remind all of you that new Erin Condren customers can save $10 off their first order by signing up for a free Erin Condren account using my referral link HERE. When you sign up, Erin Condren will then email you a coupon code worth $10. It’s a great way to save a bit, or offset the cost of shipping. Plus, it helps me out when you use my referral link – totally a win-win situation! Now, let’s jump right into the gift guide!

Erin Condren Good to Go Life Planner – $50 [BUY]

Of course, Erin Condren is known for its Life Planner. I absolutely love my Life Planner – it has changed my life! A lot of people don’t want to splurge on this planner, but it makes the perfect gift. The quality is beyond amazing, and I highly recommend this planner for anyone on your list. I think the Good to Go (formally known as Ready to Ship) is the best option for a gift, because it comes with a coupon code for a free customizable cover. That way the gift recipient can create her own cover down the road. If you want to learn more about what comes with the Good to Go Life Planner, please read THIS blog post.

Erin Condren Carry-All Clutch – $32 [BUY]

If you know someone who already has a Life Planner, this next item is a great present! The Carry-All Clutch is a case made out of neoprene to keep the Life Planner safe inside a larger backpack or purse. It is available in two sizes, and a variety of patterns and colors. The clutch can also be used to tote around tablets or other supplies, so it’s a versatile gift!

Erin Condren Snap-In StylizedSticky Notes – $10 [BUY]

A more affordable gift option is this snap-in dashboard complete with sticky notes. I absolutely love these sticky notes because they are great quality, and they are sized to fit the Life Planner. Plus, the plastic dashboard is reusable, so once the sticky notes are used up there is still value in this product. Gift this alone, or paired with other planner accessories!

Erin Condren Designer Sticker Book – $15 [BUY]

Another affordable option that is great on its own or with other goodies is the Designer Sticker Book. I have this and absolutely love it! The stickers work perfectly inside the Life Planner, and also on stationary or gifts. Even if your planner lover already has this, I can guarantee she will be happy with another one. You can’t go wrong with a sticker book!

Erin Condren Polaroid Zip Bundle – $149 [BUY]

A more extravagant purchase is the Polaroid Zip Bundle, which includes the Polaroid Zip Instant Photoprinter, a Carry-All Clutch, and a sticker to decorate the printer. This printer takes planning, scrapbooking, and journaling to the next level because you can instantly print out photos directly from your cell phone. It’s definitely on the expensive side, but it is an incredible item to have!

Erin Condren Notepad – $15 [BUY]

In addition to planner supplies, Erin Condren offers other stationary products. There are a variety of notepads from which to choose, ranging in size and color. I haven’t tried these yet, but I’ve heard the paper quality is amazing. You can also personalize the notepads for the recipient. This is a great product that many people would like, but perhaps wouldn’t purchase for themselves.

Erin Condren Good to Go Stationary Set – $15 [BUY]

One unique item for stationary lovers is the Good to Go Stationary Set. For just $15, you get ten notecards, ten envelopes, and ten labels all inside a reusable pouch. This is a great all-in-one set for that someone in your life who loves to send snail mail! I love the price and the products, too.

Erin Condren Do-it-All Desk Set – $25 [BUY]

Another great all-in-one item is the new Do-it-All Desk Set! It includes sticky notes, paperclips, washi tape, pencils, and more, all in a sturdy box with magnetic closure. This is perfect for your friends at the office, as well as your planner lovers. It comes in the colorful design shown here, but also in a metallic design. With this gift the recipient will feel like she can really do it all!

Erin Condren Jot Your Thought Journal Trio – $18 [BUY]

Erin Condren recently released this trio of stunning journals. Each has a metallic foil, and the paper inside is really nice quality. You can give these journals as a set, or break them up to gift to different people. I got a trio and can’t wait to begin using it! It’s always great to have a spare notebook hanging around.

Erin Condren Gift Card – [BUY]

Last but not least, you can always purchase an Erin Condren Gift Card if you’re stuck on what to buy your planner lover this holiday season. I can assure to you that receiving an Erin Condren Gift Card is an amazing feeling, and it is truly appreciated. You can choose from a few different denominations when you buy a gift card, so you can be sure to gift one in your budget.

That brings us to the end of this Erin Condren Gift Guide! I hope you found this post helpful, whether you’re purchasing a gift for the planner lover in your life, or simply trying to learn more about Erin Condren. I’ve really been loving my Life Planner, and definitely encourage others to purchase one as well. With 2016 just around the corner, this is the perfect time to raid the Erin Condren website!

Born Pretty Store Planner Supplies + Stationary Haul | #PlanWithPolishland

Posted on October 3, 2015September 28, 2015 by Adventures in Polishland

Happy Saturday! I’m back with another #PlanWithPolishland post today. For those of you who have been following my blog for a while, you’ll know that the online store Born Pretty Store is one of my favorite places to get fabulous and affordable nail art supplies. Now that I’ve begun this planner hobby, I went back to the site and discovered the plethora of cute planner supplies and stationary sold, too. I am excited to show you the awesome stuff Born Pretty Store sent me for review, and to incorporate these goodies into my planner. Let me share the planner haul with you, and make sure you stay tuned for a coupon code!

I filmed a video haul so you can see the products in action, but I have close up photos of everything below, too! As I mention in the video, all of the stationary products that I received are a random design. That means when you place an order, you don’t know which design you’ll get! It’s really fun, and everything is so cute that I don’t mind not being able to pick out a particular design. I’m really happy with what I got!

Sticky Flags – London Design – $1.70 [BUY]

I love using sticky flags for planning ahead, or for stickers in my planner. The London design is super cute! I might do an entire London week in my planner just based around these sticky flags.

Rilakkuma Sticky Notes – $1.58 [BUY]

I’m loving this kawaii design from Rilakkuma! These flags are so cute. They are not very sticky, but can easily be turned into stickers or simply using to pre-plan. Rilakkuma is a popular brand as well, so it’s great to be able to purchase these sticky notes from Born pretty Store.

Crown Pen – $1.40 [BUY]

My favorite item in the haul is this Crown Pen! It is so well made, and really easy to write with. The ink is good quality, and doesn’t skip when I write. These pens are so trendy, and can be quite pricey. I’m so glad I found this on Born Pretty Store!

Floral Paper Tape – Bonjour Design – $3.28 [BUY]

The last item I got is this floral paper tape. It is a washi tape and sticker combo. I got the Bonjour design, and I really love the coloring and scalloped edges. This is perfect for decorating envelopes, or simply the edges of your planner!

The great thing about Born Pretty Store is that there is free international shipping! No matter where you are in the world, you never have to pay for shipping. Plus, you can get an extra 10% off your order with my coupon code FZL91. These prices are amazing for such cute goodies, especially for those of you around the world who may not otherwise have access to stores like Target and Dollar Tree. Simply click the photo above to start shopping!

Pipsticks Sticker Subscription | Unboxing + Coupon Code

Posted on September 12, 2015September 2, 2015 by Adventures in Polishland

Happy Saturday! Today I am excited to share with you a new sticker subscription service called Pipsticks. This service sends a bundle of stickers and other stationary supplies to your door every month for just $15. As you may know, I absolutely love to decorate my Erin Condren Life Planner with stickers. Plus, I like to send out snail my to my family and friends, and I always include some stickers on the envelope. I reached out to Pipsticks and the brand graciously sent me a welcome kit to review, and is also providing a coupon code for all of you! Let me show you what to expect in a Pipsticks Subscription!

ABOUT PIPSTICKS

Pipsticks is a monthly sticker subscription with three different plans. The Kids Club and Pro Club (for adults) are each $15, and the Family Club is $35, and includes three times the amount of goodies as the Kids Club. I got a Pro Club kit to review, which comes with at least 15 sticker sheets, a quote card, a stamped postcard, and other goodies. The stickers are curated from all over the world, and I love that Pipsticks does not include character stickers. In other words, you won’t receive Disney stickers or Minion stickers. I think that is a really smart business move, because you always know that Pipsticks is including unique stickers!

UNBOXING

Let’s take another look at everything inside my Pipsticks subscription! I’ll talk a bit more about what I’m loving, what I’m not sure about, and how I plan on using the stickers. First are the stationary products: the quote card, stamped postcard, and vintage inspired postcard. I love how versatile these items are, and I think it’s amazing that the postcard comes in every kit. That way you can design a new postcard every month, and send it to a different family member or friend!

Next up are the vintage inspired stickers. I absolutely love these two sheets! Each one would be great for a weekly planner layout in my Erin Condren. I am already envisioning the washi tape and color palette I would use! The quality on all of the stickers in this kit is beyond excellent as well.

The next batch of stickers I would label fun and trendy. I’m not really loving the sheet of faces on the left, but I think the emoticons and popsicles are awesome! In addition, the Polaroid Deco Stickers are great for decorating photos, coloring in, and more. I really like how Pipsticks has such a variety!

Speaking of variety, I think these kawaii stickers are beyond cute! The full sheet will work really well in my planner, and the ‘Don’t Forget’ sticker is perfect! I’m not sure how to use the little faces yet, but they are great for journaling or scrapbooks. While I don’t use 3-D stickers often, I’m excited to discover a new creative way to do so!

Of course, the kit also includes some functional stickers, which are some of my favorites. I would love to see Pipsticks include more functional stickers in the future, but the ones I received are definitely great. The stars are perfect for highlighting important events, and the small ones can be used as bullet points. I know I’ll be using all of these in my planner!

Last but not least are these little samples of Russian nesting dolls! I love these, too! They are so cute and colorful. I use small stickers of this size to seal envelopes all the time. The little bear is especially adorable.

FINAL THOUGHTS & COUPON CODE

All in all, I’m really impressed with Pipsticks and I think it is a great value for the money. If you love stickers and stationary, this is an affordable way to receive a bunch of goodies in the mail every month. Many Etsy shops put out monthly subscriptions or kits for the same price, but you receive a lot less stickers. With Pipsticks you are still supporting a small business, but you are getting a better value. Of course, I still love Etsy shops, but if you are really on a tight budget, I think this is a great option. Pipsticks is also providing all of you with a 15% off coupon code! Use code POLISH15 at checkout. If you’re in the United Stated, shipping is included, but international subscribers will need to pay an additional shipping fee. Nonetheless, I hope you will consider trying out Pipsticks! I think it’s a ton of fun!
