It’s well made and I like the look of it.
Beautiful bag!
Amazing bag, great quality.
Adds a bit of enjoyment to my list making! Makes a fun gift!
I have whale and birds stationary and note paper. They brighten up each day! Beautifully produced images of my favorite plants and creatures. I would enjoy equine products. I give them as gifts according to one’s interest.

Bird Notepads
Good quality, fast shipment. Love the selection this place has.
Desk pad is perfect!
I love having a desk pad—nice and cushy under my hands and the mouse goes wherever. Really nice design and wonderfully finished. Makes me smile every time I look at my desk full of invertebrates. 🐞🪲🦋

Butterflies & Beetles Mouse Pad
Take it with me everywhere
It looks and feels great, whenever I’m not wearing it out it still finds its way into my car as an overnight bag or otherwise. Easy to clean and I can tell the print is going to stay beautiful for while! My second tote from CS and I’m sure I will continue grabbing them!

Loved by All
Got this just a couple weeks ago with the tea strainer and I LOVE IT! I always get lots of comments on it, so everyone else does too!
Neuro Office LOVES These Page Flags
I wanted to keep these for myself but I was good and gave them to the front desk staff at my neurologist's office along with other brain goodies. They loved everything and I enjoyed surprising those who work so hard to keep a medical office running smoothly.
