Say Nice Things Stationery

New stationery brands pop up on what seems like a daily basis, however, every now and then one catches my eye and holds my attention. I spotted SNT (Say Nice Things) over on Twitter way before they launched and was intrigued. We got to talking and I was rather tickled to be sent a rather substantial pack of goodies to have a look at.

I was sent:

The Crystal A5 Journal

I fell in love with the Crystal A5 Journal at first sight. I adore the simplicity of it and like the fact that it has been designed so that you may use it any way you want or need to. This journal features 6 sections, all of which being colour-coded.

This enables you to split the sections up to use for different purposes, for example, a dream log, goals, diet information, anything! The first four sections are lined for you to use as you will and section five includes blank rather than lined paper as well as geometric colouring pages (to match the cover) giving you more freedom to doodle and colour to your heart’s desire. The sixth section features twelve double-spread month to view calendar pages which are ideal for planning, habit tracking and more. The possibilities are endless!

My photography really doesn’t do these items justice if I’m being honest.

 

The Crystal Journal also features a handy pocket at the back for stickers, notes, basically anything you want to keep at hand. I’m using the journal as a bullet journal and am loving it. If you’re looking for a present to make someone grin this year, this (or any of the SNT journals) would make a great choice.

The Cadence A5 Notebook

I’ve had to keep this bad boy under wraps somewhat as I’ve snaffled it and hidden it to put in Roy’s Xmas box! Not “just” an ordinary notebook the Cadence Notebook feels great, is perfect again for bullet journal use, work notes, story notes, doodles, whatever you want.

With a selection of plain, lined and grid paper pages, this offers a flexible notebook solution that can be whatever you want it to be.

A selection of gorgeous notecards / postcards and envelopes

These are just adorable! Like everything at SNT Stationery, these cards and their envelopes are made from the highest quality materials and you can tell that the second you look at them. I haven’t used these yet (mainly because I’m trying to decide which ones to pinch from my writing box to pin up in my office) however when I do I’m sure the recipient will be thrilled.

Specific details, the dimensions and everything you really need to know about these items may be found on the SNT Stationery website. I just wanted to talk / blog about what *I* think about them!

An up and coming company Say Nice Things really seems to see and understand what people, men and women, want from their stationery and as such I’m looking forward to seeing them grow. If you want to help support them, make sure you have a nosy on their site and if you see something you think would make a brilliant gift (for you or someone else) go for it! You won’t be disappointed 🙂

 

VILEDA WINDOMATIC WINDOW VACUUM CLEANER

 

vil1
For ease of use, convenience, and brilliant design I hereby award this wonder window vacuum a 5* out of 5* rating.

When it comes to washing windows I’m very much a white vinegar and newspaper kind of gal and always have been. I was approached recently and was asked to have a look at the Vileda Windowmatic Window Vacuum Cleaner and write a review on my findings.

If I’m being 100% honest I expected this to be a write-up which informed readers that while it was a good idea, that it was a gimmick and something of a lazy gadget for window cleaning haters. Nothing ventured, nothing gained though so I agreed and the review parcel was promptly delivered.

How wrong I was!

Not only does this really easy to use Vileda window vac help to dry windows quickly and without streaks (a must when you live in a house our size with large original bottle-glass sash windows that are very unforgiving), it is fabulous for use in the car, for getting rid of condensation (saving oodles of kitchen towels) and even helps with spills.

There's nothing quite like a quick and efficient quick-fix to a rather grim and wet bedroom window on a morning.

For more information on how it works its magic, view the infographic below. I have to say though that if I was giving it star rating it would get a firm 5*/5* stars.
