Don’t you just love accessorizing? I was recently introduced to PakNak, a mom-owned business specializing in decorative accessories for carrying bags. These soft, rubbery charms come in all shapes and sizes and can be placed on backpacks, lunch boxes, notebooks and more! My favorite way to use PakNak charms are on gift bags and cards. I absolutely love wrapping gifts and I think this is a unique and fun way to decorate a gift.
Placing the charm is easy…just peel and stick! Kids will love the fact that they can interchange them with other charms. Velcro is what allows the charms to be transferred from say a backpack to a lunch box. The charms come in fun designs and vibrant colors and include a trading card which details your charm’s home, favorite food, best friend, and favorite activity. What a fun way to allow your child to express him/herself. Looks like a collecting trend is emerging! We received Rod and Ralph courtesy of PakNak. Check out my little boy’s decked out lunch bag and backpack…
Going green? Perfect since some of the designs are made from recycled plastic. Concerned about safety? Good for you! Many of the charms are free of phthalates. PakNak charms retail for $3.99 each and can be purchased directly from the site. Right now you can save 10% off your order with the following code: PAK10. During the month of September, PakNak is donating 10% of all online sales to Schoolhouse Supplies, a nonprofit organization that supports public education in Portland by giving students and teachers free classroom supplies.
