Oh, happy day! It’s Freebie Friday…and a holiday organization themed one at that! If this doesn’t put you in the holiday mood, well then I just don’t know what will. 😉
So…what’s up for grabs today? Some fun and colorful organizing products from buttoned up®—many of which would make excellent stocking stuffers! A special thanks to the folks at buttoned up for providing the products for today’s giveaway. And by the way, they didn’t just provide for a great giveaway, they’ve also shared the following special offer with you:
From now until 12/26/09, Creative Organizing blog readers can save 25% off a purchase of $20 or more at the shopgetbuttonedup.com site. To take advantage of this special offer, use the code 25OFF. Isn’t that awesome?
For today’s giveaway, one person will win the following items from buttoned up. (The italicized text is right from the packaging; non-italicized text is my stuff. All photos in this post are courtesy of buttoned up.)
One Birthday.book. This cute little book makes it simple to remember someone on their special day. This simple date book has space for each day of the year so that you never forget someone’s birthday, anniversary or other special day. For those of you who have taken my Paper Clutter workshop, this would be a great thing to slip into your monthly tickler file folders. At the start of each month you can remember all the special events in the month ahead. Love that.
One Greetings.stash.So now that you’re all organized and remembering birth-dates, this next goody makes it simple to take action on your good intentions and send out a card. This package contains 12 little greeting cards, so you’ll be sure you’re never without the notes you need, when you need them.
One ButtonedUp.coupons. I think this is a super cute idea, too. Give the gift of time to someone you love! Enclosed (in the package) are 20 coupons that enable you to lighten the load of someone you love – mom, dad or roommate. Give one coupon at a time or the whole book at once — and put a smile on the face of someone you love. Included are coupons like “I will do laundry for one week.” (Who wouldn’t love that one?) Or better yet “I will do the grocery shopping.” Okay, I sure would love to get one of those coupon books tucked in my stocking on Christmas morning. Wouldn’t you?
One File.starter.This package contains 12 brightly colored, pre-labeled file folders. Cute file folders…enough said. 🙂
So that rounds out the giveaway! If you’re interested in throwing your hat in the ring, simply leave a comment telling me which area of your life you most need to get buttoned up. I’ll leave the comments open until Sunday at 9 PM Central, and draw a random winner on Monday. Good luck!
Oh, and before we say goodbye, don’t forget about the terrific savings offer. Here are two other fun choices to consider for under your tree…or the tree of someone you love.
Tax.filer. Now, when you think of taxes, the word fun probably doesn’t come to mind. But, if you’re anything like me colorful file folders = fun! So, since you have to do your takes anyway, why not have as much fun as possible in the process? That’s where the Tax.filer comes in. Here’s what the buttoned up website has to say about this handy product…
This pre-labeled accordion file makes it a snap to wrangle all those forms, receipts and records that accumulate like weeds between January and April. Tabs are written in English, not in complicated financial lingo, so it’s easy to follow –“Money In,” “Money Out,” “Money Saved.” Use it to go from W-2’s to completed returns with sanity intact. It also easily serves as the annual organizer for those tax files you need to retain for 7 years in case of an audit.
Collision.kit. Again, car accidents probably don’t top your list of “fun times” but I love the idea of this product. The Collision.kit contains everything you need in case of an accident like:
- A one-time use flash camera to visually document any damage
- A pen in case you don’t have one handy
- Pre-formatted forms for collecting important information from all parties, including the police.
- A clipboard for something sturdy to write on.
- An envelope for keeping registration and proof of insurance documents, so you’ll always know where they are.
Thank you again buttoned up for providing the goodies for this giveaway. And a special thanks for the special offer!
Happy (Freebie!) Friday!
**Edited. Comments now closed. Winner to be announced Monday. 🙂 **
hmmmm. . .which area to pick. . .LOL. . .my files are a bit of wreck these days – they could probably use some inspired help 🙂
GREAT giveaway – happy weekend!

Oh my! What a fun bunch of products! Thanks for sponsoring such a sweet giveaway!
Right now I’d say I need a complete buttoned up makeover! lol (The holidays somehow have that effect on me.) But seriously . . . the thing I’m finding the most pressing (and will be the most rewarding), is finishing off my craft room/office. So much to do, but I can only take a small bite out of it each day. 15 minutes at a time and it WILL get done, though! I just keep my finished “vision” in my head and press onward. 😉
Hope you and your family have a wonderfully Merry Christmas! God Bless!
The area of my life that needs buttoned up is my taxes. Since we’re starting a home business in 2010, we’ll need to keep better records!
I so need to button up my entire life right now. Everything is so disorganized and I can’t seem to get myself motivated.
Will have to check out that collision kit. My oldest DD had her first accident this fall, the day after she got her license. That camera would have been a life saver as the person is trying to claim all kinds of damage that wasn’t there and that it was DD’s fault. Argg. Now we go to court to fight it.
It’s always about the paperwork … so I gotta go with the files! They have adorable products.
As a Creative Organizing alumnus, I’m ashamed to say I STILL need some help buttoning up my life, but the good part is that I am SO into throwing out all the extra “stuff” that my husband’s worried I’ll get carried away and throw him out, too! (Don’t worry, though, he’s DEFINITELY a keeper!)
I think any of the paper organizing solutions are good ones for me: the b’day book, the tax files, the file starter…
Pick any one and please pick me!!!
We need to get our finances figured out–first with a budget and then to act on it!
I’m really bad at sending cards and notes when I need to. Need to work at that next year.
I need to “button up” my guest room – it needs to turn into a nursery for our first baby in less than 4 months!
I need “button up” for my scrapbooking materials and incoming papers.
I think the Tax Filer would be most useful for us as we still have trouble juggling paper clutter.
I need to get my papers buttoned up! I always seem to have piles everywhere.
I need my household cleaning schedule to be more buttoned up.
Anything to make tax time fun is a winner in my book!

I could really use some assistance in getting organized for tax season. The tax filer would be a great help!
I’m very well organised, but what I need to do is organise my scrapbookingthings. It’s hard to throw things away in that area.
My paperwork needs some ‘button up’ help… household files & papers as well as scrapping papers! What a great give-away!
These are the coolest organization tools!!! I need constant help with homeschool STUFF. It’s a battle, I tell ya. What a great giveaway!
I think I could definitely use all of these items! Love them!!! 🙂
I love Buttoned Up! I’ve managed to get all of the home and school paperwork under control, but I need to figure out a better system for tracking business income and expenses.
