GIFT IDEA – CAROLINA PAD SIMPLY CHIC COLLECTION

About Carolina Pad Simply Chic

What are the perfect gifts for a moms and their stylish friends who want to be fashionably organized? Products from Carolina Pad’s Simply Chic collection. The Simply Chic collection features three classic designs, each with a pop of color (pink, green or yellow).

Portfolios, folders, totes too unfashionable and manly for your taste? I understand. It doesn’t have to be like that though. Simply Chic has a fashionable, stylish line for professional women at home and on the go.

Prints are trendy; colors are electric. How about a laptop tote in black with white stripes and bright fuschia accents? Priced at $19.99, it even has an outer zippered pocket. How about an Ideal Portfolio in faux crocodile leather, either tried and true black or pink or yellow? Priced at $12.99, it has inside pockets and holds an 8 3/4 X 7 inch refillable notebook. How about some wild file folders? Priced at $5.99 a set, they are a marriage of fashion and function.

Don’t just buy your home, work, and office supplies the way everyone else does. Be more elegant than your competitors. Add some color and pizazz to your life.
