Organizing Household Paperwork and Buttoned Up Giveaway Winners

Tackling household paperwork is certainly a chore. Even in this electronic age, most of our paperwork is generated from snail mail. If you buried in mail and need simple tips on managing and reducing the amount household mail, you may want to take a look at a previous Simplified Bee post – Snail Mail Organization With Style.

For those of you that need a jump-start in organizing household paperwork and don’t want to bother with labeling, the File.starter set from Buttoned Up is for you. It comes with ten labeled, color-coded, file folders grouped into three simple categories; Healthy, Wealthy, and Wise. Also included are two blank files for you to fill in with whatever suits your needs. The modern, brightly colored files are easy to find in hanging files and will help get your desk under control for the New Year.

I am also thrilled to announce the winners of the Buttoned Up giveaway. The winner of the Buttoned Up.coupons are Jayme (comment 9) and Carla (comment 23). Congratulations!

The winner of the trio of organizing products by Buttoned Up – Pet Care Package, Fitness.doc and Collision.doc is Kellie (lucky comment 13 picked by random.org). I have a feeling she is going to love the Pet Care Package for sure – the darling Cavalier King Charles Spaniel above is Kellie’s Lily. She writes about Lily and more on her lovely blog, Ada & Darcy.

In addition, Buttoned Up is offering all Simplified Bee readers 25 off $20 or more at Buttoned Up. Please enter promotional code 25OFF at checkout – expires 12/26/09. Their products would make great stocking stuffers! Have you started your holiday shopping?

2010 Goal Setting, Getting Organized and Buttoned Up GIVEAWAY

With 2009 wrapping up in the next month, many of us are looking to set goals for 2010. Getting your home organized may be top of your list. In previous posts I have featured Button Up’s excellent organizational products for disaster preparedness and medical documents. Today, I am thrilled to announce a special giveaway sponsored by Buttoned Up – just in time for holiday gift giving and your New Year’s resolutions! One lucky Simplified Bee reader will receive a trio of fantastic products by Buttoned Up – Pet Care Package, Fitness.doc and Collision.doc.

The Pet Care Package includes the Pet.doc and Petsitter.pad. The Pet.doc is an agenda-aized notebook with sections of two pets. You simply fill in the forms provided and you’ll have everything from basic license numbers and immunizations records to detailed medical histories and training notes in one, easy to find spot. And the Petsitter.pad™ makes it a little easier to vacation without worry – its detailed form ensures no instruction is overlooked, from feeding times and walking schedules to favorite toys. Wouldn’t this make an excellent stocking stuffer for those with pets?

Need some help getting back on the fitness wagon? Help yourself or someone you love get fit with the Fitness.doc™ from Buttoned Up. This bright orange book will help anyone who uses it set realistic fitness and weight loss goals, plan how to reach them and implement them in everyday life. Another great organizational tool to help you reach your 2010 goals and you can’t beat the $4.95 price tag!

No one is prepared for a car wreck, but they happen every day. Unfortunately, most don’t realize they’re woefully unprepared to deal with them until afterward. Thankfully, the compact Collision.kit™ stows everything you need to document the situation in a handy zippered case you can keep under your seat or in the glove compartment. This brilliant kit includes a 12-exposure disposable camera with flash, preformatted forms for gathering information from all parties (including the police), pen and clipboard for easy writing, and an envelope for storing registration and insurance documents. An excellent gift for a teenager who just got their driver’s license!

Two other Simplified Bee readers will win Buttoned up.coupons! This fun, friendly little coupon book has 20 cleverly illustrated coupons that enable you to lighten the load of someone you love – mom, dad, roommate or friend. The set includes coupons for everyday tasks like taking out the trash, doing the laundry and running the errands. Each one is perforated, so you can give one coupon at a time, or the whole book at once. What a nice way to give back to the one’s you love this holiday season!

In addition, Buttoned Up is offering all Simplified Bee readers 25 off $20 or more at Buttoned Up. Please enter promotional code 25OFF at checkout – expires 12/26/09.
