Back to School Giveaway: Paknaks

monkey_03How cute is that little guy?  very cute I think.  That’s Martin the Paknak.  Paknaks are fun soft rubbery 3-D decorations for kids (and adults too!) to personalize all of their stuff: Backpacks, lunch bags, headbands, computer bags, household items,whatever you can think off.

They come with customized Velcro in the back that helps them stick to anything quickly and easily.  This also makes them interchangeable and they are also weather resistant.  I just thought they were  such a great idea for many reasons: they can help revive an old backpack or lunchbag.  They can also help personalize a very generic looking bag.  You can also put it on headbands, lamps or binders.

Today I have the opportunity to give away four sets of six Paknaks  (one set of six to each winner).  That way you can let your or your kids’ imagination go wild and start embellishing whatever they want.
