Hello and welcome to my blog again? How have you been keeping? If you are new then hello! I hope  you enjoy this positive blog post and stay for further ones! Anyhow, I'm here today with another stationary review! I find that it's getting near for starting School in September, and it's the same with university. Why not stay organised?

I received this package from KnockKnock yesterday, as they wanted to thank me for the review I wrote about them previously. I am writing this review like I would any other :). I thank them so much for being so generous, but it goes to show how much of a wonderful company they are :).
If you are a fan of Knock Knock products, or if  you don't know much about them have a little look below! I hope you enjoy :)

PACKAGING:

Fundamentally, lets start with Let's Do This. This pen-to-paper mousepad is gorgeous! The bright coral in contrast to the orange gives me summer vibes! I feel like I should be making a tropical cocktail while writing my notes down. Knock Knock never fail on making me feel content and happy with my purchase. I can look at this pad and think it’s well organised, due to the array of columns, and humorous subtitles, for example, “do or die”. I find this funny, as everyone that’s stressing out have always felt like they were “dying”-this is obviously dramatic; as they are in a stressful atmosphere. I love that Knock Knock have made this funny; as while you are stressing out, you can laugh about, an ounce of your worries will disappear as Knock Knock are here to help you; they don’t want to pressure you which is why they made this pad laughable. This will make you want to complete your work, as well as succeed as it’s relatable with the common slag, “gotta do”. It’s like this pad is your friend, and they are telling you how you should organise your work. This is something Knock Knock always does in their products, they aim to, “bring humor, creativity and smarts to everyday life”. They have not only met that expectation but crushed it!  In regards to My Awesome Week, there is a similar layout, for example, a multitude of columns have been provided so you can segregate which task you need to do first, as well as the shape of the product, and the same section where you can place your pen. I am so glad that Knock Knock have taken their mousepads to a whole new level! This pen section is beyond handy! You will never lose it, once you are done writing what you need to write; you can simply place it back in the pen section. And when you need to make any amendments, for example, completing a task, you can take the pen and tick it off with ease. I can’t tell you how many times I have lost my pens … It’s the bane of my life but I don’t have to worry now, as Knock Knock have again thought outside of the box and saved us. On the other hand, the colour scheme of this pad is enchanting, I prefer this one just because blue is such a relaxing colour; it reminds me walking on the beach with the beautiful blue sea in the distance. It’s also something different, most of the pads I have are orange, this will be a nice addition to the family, that way I can colour-coordinate what subjects go where.

THE PRODUCT:

Profoundly, the products themselves are faultless, Knock Knock picked up on my last issue, which was that they should offer an array of colours, they have done that! There are two colours to choose from, could there be more? Yes of course there could. If I was to give any suggestions is that they should keep doing what they are doing with this new pad launch. But add new colours, for example, have a lime green pad and use funny sick references as their subtitles. In regards to the paper, they keep it the exact same as the other mousepads, they are super soft. Which is flawless when you are trying to drag your mouse around the pad. I remember a long time ago, before I came into contact with Knock Knock, I bought a cheap mousepad, I wanted something that I could place beside me while using my computer … The paper was such rubbish quality that it made me cringe every time I went to drag my mouse across the pad.
In regards to the spaces provided in the pad there are more of them, and they are a little bit wider! I never had an issue with the sizing of the pad, but this is so much better! It’s handy if you have big writing, or want to put your own subtitles in; there is room to do that. I am saving these pads of joy when I start University in September, they will be by my computer, I will segregate them to what topic I want to study in my marketing course and swap them over when need be. 

PRICE:


The pricing on these pads are the same, they are sold separately for £12, I know it may seem a bit too expensive for some of you; but it's completely worth the money. There are so many updated features which are mentioned above; my favourite one being the pen section. These will last such a long time, at least 6 months to a year, depending if you use them once a week or not. The paper is such high quality; which you will need if  you want a mouse to follow your directions. Knock Knock are a great company and have never let me down once! They are extremely innovative, they don't copy other companies, they are their own trademark;when I look in a stationary store I can segregate Knock Knock from everything else; due to their iconic font and colours.

Thank you ever so much for reading this blog post, you all make me very happy and satisfied with what I am doing. I can't thank you enough but give you all want you want :).
I will see you either later on today or tomorrow with an advice blog post :). 
Like always stay safe and stay tuned Little ones :) x x x

Knock Knock Review

5 days a week planner- knock knock

Disclaimer: I have not been paid by Knock Knock to do this review, I have always liked their stationary collections. They helped me with exam preparation, planning blogs and organising my week.

Hello again little ones! How have you been today? I've already posted a blog post today, click here if you want to see it.
I've also been planning other blog posts, and spending time in the garden watching Jeremy Kyle :'). Any who, I thought that it was about time to write a review on this fantastic notepad! I've always been a fan of Knock Knock; and when I bought this a few months ago I was relieved! I was able to plan my entire week and segregate what needed done first and what could wait. It's amazing if you need to improve your organisation! 
If you want to know more about the product and my thoughts and feelings have a little look down below! :D

PRESENTATION:

Knock Knock have always presented their products in a professional and consistent manor. For example they use bright, positive and vibrant colours. I have never bought a product from them, and received something dull or uninteresting. In regards to this 5 days a week pad, it's perfection, for the soul reason that they've actually combined my two favourite colours: orange and baby-blue. This screams happiness. Additionally, I love the fact that it's bold because it's easy to find; as well as this it makes it unique; simply because most stationary pads are plain and boring, this captures my attention in a heartbeat. 
Knock knock have organised this pad so it's easy to use by everyone. The 5 columns are clearly sectioned off depending on the day, it gives you more than enough in one day to write what you need. I take down rough notes, as it's just a reminder of what I need to do that day. Also I love the fact that knock knock have faded out the colours so it's not so harsh, for example the lines that divide each section is a lighter orange in comparison to the rich bright orange. I feel that if they had used the same colour orange it would have been too much, an it would have ruined the design completely; but that's just my opinion.
On the other hand, I adore the fine detailing of this product, for example, Knock Knock has placed a 'hopes for the week' and 'results of the week' section in the right hand corner. This is a brilliant idea, simply because, it makes you feel optimistic and positive, you know what you need to do, all you need to do now is to complete the tasks. Every time you tick a task off it's weight lifted off your shoulders, as well as feeling accomplished. In addition, if you think of any other ideas during the weak Knock Knock enable you to write down additional notes in the, weekend  and next week section. And if anything gets too much, or if you forget to do something, you can place it in the snowball in hell section. This makes sure that it will get done, but you obviously have other priorities. Believe me some times I think of new blog posts on the spot and forget what I was originally meant to write. 

THE PRODUCT:

The product itself is perfect, I can't say anything bad about this product, if I had to be fussy, and I mean really fussy, I would say that they should come out with different colours for people. They might not like this colour scheme, have more of a variety for people. 
On the other hand, I love the way the paper feels, it's super soft, I know some notebooks I've bought and I've hated writing in them because the paper is so rough; it makes me cringe ... Am I the only one that thinks that? :') 
Like I've said previously, there is enough space to write notes of what you need to do in that day, it keeps everything separate and organised so you can read everything with ease. Also it gives you enough space in the columns that you can tick off each task when you are done. More-so, this product is small enough to go on your desk, it doesn't take up too much space, and it says on the pack that you can actually use it as a mouse-mat! I know that I will use it in both forms! While I'm sitting at my computer I can see what else I need to do; this is a constant reminder. If you are going to University in September you need this! You need to keep on top of your tasks and work, you don't want to fall behind. you need something that is going to organise your University life and personal life. 

PRICE:

This pad retails for £6.95, I bought mine from Waterstones as I was already in there for a book and I saw this. I feel that this is a really good price for what you get. For one the paper is high quality, I've paid more for Oxford notepads and there is less paper in those and they are double the price; this pad is just as good. It's keeps everything organised and I've never seen anything else like this! I have always had to make my timetables on word, I've been looking for something like this foe years, and I came into contact with this product a few months ago. 
This is completely worth the money! It saves time and stress! Instead of trying to remember it at the top of your head, (believe me I did this for years and I forgot more than half), write it down!
