Giveaway: Win $100 from Staples Copy & Print

by

Staples

When I think of Staples, I tend to think of items for my home office. It’s the first place I’d go for a new printer, but I only recently learned that they have party supplies too!

Staples Copy & Print has customizable postcards, invitations, banners, posters, stickers, and more to help you throw a beautiful personalized party for any occasion. The company recently teamed up with lifestyle expert Annette Joseph, author of Picture Perfect Parties, to offer inspiration and tips to create themed events and personalized parties for small businesses.

Here are Annette Joseph’s tips on how to create a great party:

  • Pick a theme. This can start with a graphic on an invitation. Staples Copy & Print invitations offer an amazing array of beautiful images. Pick an invite and you’ve picked your theme. It’s a great jumping off point.
  • Use banners and posters to create a festive entrance to the event.
  • Make the event memorable with goodie bags and takeaways – a little gift to take home at the end. Create a personalized tote bag with Staples Copy & Print.
  • Use fresh flowers or branches from your garden to create a beautiful table scape that reflects the season.

Visit Annette Joseph Style for the links to the Staples products used in the breathtaking spa themed bridal shower featured in the photo accompanying this post. (If you don’t know anyone getting married soon, I think most of her ideas could easily be adapted to create a pampering birthday party or a special “girls night” celebration.)

If you love a good wine and a stylish cheese platter, then this recycled flat wine bottle cheese board will be your new best friend. Not only does it combine two of life’s greatest pleasures, but it also gives a second life to old wine bottles, turning them into something functional and chic.

I stumbled across a similar piece at a friend’s gathering last year, and I couldn’t stop admiring it. The wine bottle was almost unrecognizable—transformed into a sleek, modern board for snacks and small bites. It’s the perfect conversation starter, and honestly, it brings a certain wow factor to any dinner party or casual gathering.

This cheese board isn’t just pretty; it’s practical too. The smooth surface is ideal for serving everything from crackers to fruit to your favorite cheeses. Plus, it’s an awesome example of recycling and upcycling, keeping those old bottles out of landfills while elevating your entertaining game.

Why we love it:

  • Made from recycled flat wine bottles, adding sustainability to your kitchen

  • A unique upcycled home decor item that’s also super functional

  • Ideal for wine lovers, eco-conscious hosts, or anyone who loves a good cheese board

Not only does this board make for a stylish and sustainable addition to your kitchen, but it also makes for an awesome gift for those who love eco-friendly entertaining.
