BIC Office Supplies Giveaway!

Super exciting news, friends!! For the SEVENTH year in a row, BIC is joining us on the blog today for an office supplies giveaway!! Even though I haven’t been in school in, umm, quite awhile, I still get incredibly giddy over all things writing, and BIC is a writer’s paradise — full of pens, pencils, highlighters, markers and other accessories!

And the company is all about giving back with this year’s BIC Bucks for Teachers program, which directly supports public school teachers. Here’s how it works: BIC has donated $100,000 to DonorsChoose.org to make a difference in classrooms around the country. When you spend $10 or more on BIC stationery products, you can get a $10 BIC Bucks donation code that can help fund a project of your choosing on DonorsChoose.org, which provides a space for public school teachers in the United States to request funding for necessary classroom materials to elevate students’ learning. The program runs until September 15th.

“With BIC Bucks for Teachers, our presence in the classroom goes beyond our products,” said Janel Lewis, Director, Stationery Marketing for BIC USA Inc. “Teachers play such an influential role in students’ lives, so this program allows BIC and our customers the opportunity to give back and make an impact in the lives of teachers, classrooms and students.”

For today’s giveaway, BIC is giving one lucky reader a prize pack to up their writing game! Here’s what you’ll win…

• Gel-ocity Quick Dry Retractable Gel Pen: 2-pack in black ink.

BIC Office Supplies Giveaway!

If you’ve been reading So About What I Said for a few years now, you’ll know that I host an annual BIC office supplies giveaway around this time! Since 2012, I’ve partnered with the amazing people at BIC, which covers all your writing needs — everything from pens to pencils to highlighters to colorful erasers — and their entire product line is pretty spectacular!

BIC is also on a mission to celebrate handwriting, which, thanks to the wonders of technology, has fallen by the wayside over the years. I love the company’s Handwriting Hub — a place full of activities and writing tips! Did you know that handwriting engages abilities such as visual focusing, receptive language, memory recall and spacial perception?

As a writer, you can probably guess just how much I love all their products! And their Back-To-School 2017 collection doesn’t disappoint!

OK! On to the actual giveaway! Today, BIC is giving one lucky reader a prize pack of awesome office goodies! Here’s what you’ll win…

BIC’s Back-To-School 2017 Line Up:

• Gel-ocity Quick Dry: Comfortable full-grip barrel that comes in vibrant, fun colors. Also, provides a super-smooth writing experience!

• Intensity Fineliner: The perfect pens for writing, doodling, drafting and even adult coloring! The vibrant colors and bold, crisp writing won’t bleed through paper.

• Velocity Max Pencils: The soft gel grip molds to your hand for the smoothest, darkest writing. Includes extra lead and erasers.

Whether you’re heading back to the classroom this fall or need to restock your office supplies for work, BIC surely has something for everyone!

BIC Office Supplies Giveaway!

Oh, friends!! I’ve been dying to share today’s giveaway with you! For the fifth year in a row, I’m partnering with BIC for an Office Supplies Extravaganza Giveaway! BIC has become synonymous with all things writing, from pens to pencils to highlighters to colorful erasers, but it’s their Fight For Your Write campaign, which highlights and celebrates the importance of handwriting and writing in general — obviously, something I hold VERY near and dear to my heart! Where would I be — or, who would I be — without writing in my life?? Scary thought.

Writing is an important vehicle for communication because it distinguishes us and promotes individuality. Did you know that writing is also a critical learning tool for children? Writing helps kids become better readers, boosts their confidence and sparks their creativity. Together, we want to show children just how great writing can be…and how great they can be!

So, to encourage the writer in you (we’ve ALL got one, trust me!), BIC is giving one lucky reader a bonanza of office goodies! Check out everything you’ll win…

BIC Back-To-School Giveaway!

I’m SO excited to be partnering with BIC on a Back-To-School giveaway today! For the fourth year in a row, I immediately fell in love with everything BIC has to offer (they are the leader in school and office supplies, after all), including pens and pencils, markers, sticky notes and erasers.

BIC is continuing its Fight For Your Right campaign this year, which seeks to educate and energize parents, teachers and students about the importance of lifelong writing. During 2015, you’re invited to visit BIC Fight For Your Write and sign the online petition. For each e-signature collected, BIC will donate pens and pencils to students in need across the country.

“Parents play a key role in a child’s development and can act as ambassadors for their right to write,” said Pam Allyn, Fight for Your Write spokesperson and founder of LitWorld, a global organization that advocates for children’s rights as readers, writers and learners. “BIC’s mission shines a light on the crucial role of writing in our lives, and more importantly, gives parents and schools the tools they need to join our movement.”

This year’s Back-To-School prize pack includes an awesome futuristic highlighter and colorful pencils. Here’s a closer look at what you’ll be adding to your office arsenal if you win…
