Now I'm Going To Tell You What To Buy:: Paperspring Review

Alright, so a few months ago, I did a review of Paperspring products here. I'm not gonna lie, I LOVE this company. I LOVE their products. I LOVE their customer service. It is everything I look for in a stationary store.

Recently I was asked to do a review of their holiday cards. Yes. I would love to.

Now, in my head, I imagine my holiday card being something fabulous, with my kids running in the snow, or smiling at me with their big grins and wide eyes, and then I realize I have three kids who are, in no way, capable of taking a picture that looks decent if they are in front of my lens, and are barely capable of taking a decent picture in front of a professional lens. That dream quickly died and I instead decided to go the three separate photo look. You want to know what card I would have chosen if I had been able to get them all in one picture?

It's simple and it's fun and I love it. It would have looked great....sigh....

So, I chose something that worked better for me. Now, I have an aunt and an uncle who are Jewish, and I really don't like sending them things that say, 'Merry Christmas'. I like to choose cards that say 'Happy Holidays'. The nice thing about Paperspring? They have Hanukkah cards. So, if you are Jewish and want to send cards to family and friends who are also Jewish, you have options. I love that. I always have such a hard time trying to find them a card. I, however, did not order any Hanukkah cards because I only have one family in my family who happens to be Jewish.

So, now you're wondering, "What happened when you ordered? What did you get?" I'll tell you.

I placed my order, and I patiently waited. And waited. And waited some more, and then one day, I got this:

I was THRILLED. And, look how securely they wrapped it. It was wrapped in a pretty ribbon and in bubble wrap to prevent them from being knocked around and getting bent corners.

And, I also saw this again:

That is the personal note from the person who packed and shipped my package. I really cannot even keep telling how much I love this feature. It shows how much Paperspring cares about their customers and how much they put behind their products. It's fabulous.

And then, I finally opened my card, and Ooohd and Aaahhed over them. They are perfect. I cannot wait to send them out.

Now, Paperspring also has a new, fun feature called Paperlinks. What's Paperlinks you ask? Let's say you create a baby announcement. You have several great pictures, but can only choose one. Paperlinks is a fun, new way to share the rest of those pictures. You add Paperlinks to your card and a scan code shows up on the back of the card. The code looks like this:

When your family gets it, they simply use a FREE app, called Paperlinks, on their smartphone to scan the code, and they are taken to a special site with the rest of those pictures. It's fun, safe and free! This app is only available for the iPhone at the moment, but Paperspring is hoping to bring it to the android market soon.

So, all in all, I am still a huge fan of Paperspring. They are still a great, ecofriendly company, just like they were 3 months ago. They are still offering wonderful customer service. And all orders ship FREE!!! So, head to Paperspring now and get your shop on!

And, just so you know, I was provided with these products for review. This in no way changed my opinions of these products. All opinions are honest and my own.
