When I was a kid I looked forward to the start of the school year. Yep I was one of those kids. I wasn’t bored with the holidays or particularly excited about learning. Nope. It was about one thing. Shopping for stationery. Paper nerds get it. The start of the school year is like Christmas all over again for us.
Now, I haven’t been to school in a very, very long time but all the back-to-school nostalgia came flooding back when I got my hands on a few goodies from Budons to review. All I can say is my Mum and Dad would be significantly poorer if these were around when I was a kid!
In my opinion, kid friendly stationery needs to have three things.
1. It needs to be durable.
2. It needs to be colourful.
3. It needs to have longevity (i.e. kids can’t get sick of it after a week).
The Budons range (which is available from Target) ticks all these boxes, particularly longevity, by introducing a collectability factor to the mix. The larger items (notebook, backpack, pencil case etc) can be customised with 26 different clip on characters. The kids in my life love anything cute, collectable and changeable and the ease that they can swap these items makes the range even more appealing.
Giveaway time!

Good Luck!

Oh I love this! My little girl would adore ALL of this. I am super proud that I’ve indoctrinated a love of stationery into her at such a young age.
I once had some paper from Budons
which I tragically spilled some wet food on
so now I have none
but if this giveaway I won,
I’d have lots of great items from Budons!
Budons is really cute. I’m going to be in grade one.
Budons for every girl at heart,
Fantastic range and colours, for a great start..
Totally cool chic around the school..
Because I have the latest Budon, which rule
My school bag is boring and lifeless,
It’s in desperate need of a change,
New supplies should do the trick,
Especially from the Budons range!
It will be my mum’s birthday on Saturday – Australia Day – but she should not be the only one receiving presents. Well, I hope not anyway. I cannot wait to start back at school. I will be in grade one with Miss Kylie.
What an awesome giveaway!! Budons make such fun stationery.
P.S. Amber is a really cool name – lol
Cute! Target always carries the coolest stuff
This pack looks fantastic and the best thing is if I won my son and daughter could both share the items because the customisable notebook is boyish looking and the rest is girlish looking so there wouldn’t be any fights (hopefully!)
My niece will love this <3
Our little homeschooling crew would love to add these to their supplies!!!
Surely surely surely with Budons accessories so funky…
My teacher won’t think that I’m a mischievous monkey!!
Great prize especially for this time of year
my kids would love this
Harmony is a girl of twelve
who gets picked on by the bullies quite well
she can make them all jealous
when she has budons to scratch and smell
So cool
I love it
I would love to have this because I just love stationary. Also I know that if I get them then I will love them forever and I can start a new trend in my school. This is a fabulous giveaway. And please pick me to win!
