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.

• Cristal Xtra Bold Ball Pen: 8-pack in blue ink.

• Marking Permanent Markers: 12-pack in assorted colors

• Velocity Max Mechanical Pencils: Two 2-pack in 0.7 mm

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!
