Hello my lovelies, I hope you're all doing well and aren't feeling too down now that school and college has rolled back around. For me this is a very exciting time as I am off to uni in 2 weeks! I haven't been posting much recently because we've been so busy with buying all the things I need for uni. We've got a few more things to buy but were almost there.
So recently in my local town we got a new shop called Tiger and if you don't what Tiger is, it's basically a shop full of a bit of everything. It's got stationary, nic-nacks, sweets, kitchen ware, and just random little gifts you could give to people for Christmas or their Birthdays. Every time I go into town I've been going into Tiger as each time I go in I notice something else I really like but the main reason I've been going in there so much is because; I'm going to uni extremely soon and I decided to get a personal organiser/ filofax from WHSmith because they were on sale and are still on sale.
So if you've been thinking of getting a personal organiser and want to buy one for a cheaper price here is a link to go and check all of them out: http://www.whsmith.co.uk/search?keywordCategoryId=&keywords=filofax&results=60&page=1&performSearch=true
I went into Tiger because it recently opened and I just felt like looking around and I found a lot of really lovely things in there. I was pleasantly surprised at how much I am in love with this shop now and I'm most likely going to go in there again tomorrow as well. They have a big variety of things and the best part is they're not overly expensive either.
Firstly I picked up this cloud shaped tape dispenser that has rainbow tape in. I really thought this was adorable how both things were linked together. I bought it because it was a type of washi-tape to use in my planner and for any other things I want to add a bit of a personal touch to.
Price: £2.00
These next two items I thought were pretty vintage and for me I remember the days when I had to listen to music on tapes in my old CD and tape player and also I remember the days I had to use floppy disks to save work on back in Year 6. So for me these are a bit of a throwback to my childhood and I thought they were just a really cool pack of sticky notes to use for anything I need to write down to remember or stick into uni books etc.
Price: £1.00 each
This next item was a bit of a random purchase but I do not have enough coloured paper in general. I like to use coloured paper to pin point things that I need to remember or that are important and that way my eyes will be drawn to the colour. I also thought I could use this to make my own coloured page flags for my planner as all the ones I print off are either too big or too small for me to deal with and I think it might be easier just to make a few of my own.
I also like this notebook because it's not very big which means it's easy to carry around. I also like how it has an elastic because it means the paper inside wont get damaged as it's all packed tightly together. The final thing I love it how the outer edges are rounded.
Price: £2.00
I think these are one of my favourite things I've ever bought. They are just pegs with strawberries on top. The strawberries are quite pop art styled and fun which is what I like. I am going to use these for decoration and to peg the week we're currently on in my planner so I can just automatically flip to that week instead of flipping through every page to get there.
Price: £1.00
I bought these heart stickers again for my planner and just to decorate the pages and make them look pretty. You can't go wrong with some heart stickers. Plus they were 2 for a £1.00!
Price: 2 for £1.00
These bicycles clips I absolutely love! I don't think I'll be pinning many papers together with them. However I thought they'd be a fun decoration for my planner front pockets and another way to pin things to certain pages that I need to write in later and anything else I need to hold together in the planner. Plus, I don't think many people have bicycle paper clips.
Price: £1.00
This item is probably the one related to the filofax mostly as I know lots of people have the Filofax branded sticky notes dashboard type insert which is just like this one above. But there's is quite pricey considering it is just a page of sticky notes. So I found this one in Tiger and I thought that's going to be perfect to fit into my filofax when it arrives. Plus, you always need sticky notes for something.
Price: £1.00
So guys that is everything I've got so far from Tiger. As you can see from all of the items I've bought they do a really nice range of stationary and decorative styled items that are such good quality for the price you're paying. I've only paid £10.00 all together for all of this compared to most places where this would've costed nearly up to £20.00 due to the types of items I was purchasing. But I urge you all to go into a Tiger shop if you have one near to you because it really is a wonderful and quirky shop that I am in love with already.
Thank you for reading and I will talk to you all soon.
Bye for now,
Katie
