And The Winner Is?
Make A Rustic Sawhorse Table For Under $40
You know paper shredders are important for preventing identity theft, but who knew they could look so great?
When it comes to seasonal spruce-ups, spring cleaning gets all the love. But if you ignore fall, you're missing out on the perfect opportunity to organize your home and make it the type of place where you'll feel comfy crawling under a throw blanket and popping in a DVD. So in the interest of helping you get streamlined for fall, we're running giveaways that will upgrade your basics.
Today's giveaway is a Black & Decker paper shredder. But oh no, not just any old black box paper shredder -- we're talking the most design-savvy shredders we've seen, machines that can actually be an asset to a desk's overall look.
The iShred looks like all sorts of fun things -- a megaphone, a space-age transportation device and even a teensy bit like Eero Saarinen's iconic table base. It stands at 27.5 inches tall, and there are even non-aesthetic perks to the sleek design -- the fluted bottom half makes it easy to empty, and the thin slot has no exposed blades for extra safety. Interested in the actual technical info on this? It shreds six sheets at a time and also shreds credit cards, staples (yes, staples!), receipts for too-expensive throw pillows and pesky to-do lists.
If that's a little too much flair for you, we've also got the Identity Theft Buster -- a smaller machine that looks more like a typical shredder except for its lipstick-red color. This one powers through 20 sheets at a time, as well as all the other pesky things that invade your mail like CDs (and like the iShred, credit cards and staples). Because it's so petite, you can even pop it on your desk and glance at it to get all the benefits of the color red -- increased energy, enthusiasm, action and confidence. Whew!

My favorite part of fall is no more hot and sticky summer days, no more running the A/C and jacking my electricity bill to well over $100, and no more kids running around bugging me all day (schools back in).
ReplyI'd love either shredder, but if given a choice, I guess I'd go with the more traditional design because it looks like it would hold more shreds thus making me empty it less often.
My favorite thing about Fall is Halloween; my favorite holiday ever. I'm now chomping at the bit to throw up all my outdoor lights and decorations. I have so many decorations I have to rotate them every year since my house is too small for everything.
ReplyI'd love the iShred; what a clever design and perfect for my desktop.

My favorite part of fall is sitting in my cozy warm office on a gorgeous crisp Fall morning, sipping pumpkin spice coffee and shredding all my old documents from the previous year. I love the feeling of clearing out that chapter in my life and starting anew! (new purchases, new shredder (hint-hint) , new year!). :)
