Giveaway, Review: PakNak

If you are looking for a cute, colorful, and easy way to personalize backpacks, lunch totes, notebooks, and more, PakNaks are for you.

According to their website, anyone can “Use PakNaks® to transform plain backpacks, bags and all of your stuff into personalized, ever-changing, colorful works of art. PakNak® charms are interchangeable, weather resistant and quickly and easily stuck to all of your stuff. Leave pins, patches, stickers and clip on charms behind with our super strong Velcro® that makes changing your look as easy as changing your Nak.”

Thanks to the Family Review Network, I received a sampling of PakNaks—Earth, Martin, and Isaac. Yes, I admit, the Earth was more for me than DS, but it matched the reusable tote that I use for DS’s snacks and drinks. Applying it was as easy as 1-2-3: 1) Peel of the adhesive from the Velcro; 2) Apply the Velcro to your item; 3) Stick on the Nak. How much easier can it get?

DS loved the Earth Nak too—he kept pointing to it and asking “wha-dat?” The funny thing—he loves the sound of Velcro so he kept taking the Nak off and putting it back on again, but despite how many times he did that, the Nak stayed in place firmly whenever we used the tote!

Switching to another Nak is just as easy and you can change it whenever the mood strikes. Your child may be into sports one week and animals the next. With so many creative and colorful designs to choose from, you and your child should have no difficulty finding the perfect Nak. What’s even better--each Nak comes with its own trading card, and you can also download the Nak’s coloring book for free.

And great news for all you eco-conscious consumers--many of their newer designs, such as Earth, are made from recycled plastic and contain no phthalates!!!

PakNaks are the perfect accessory to decorate a variety items—you are limited only to your imagination. With the holidays just around the corner, these would make a great gift or stocking stuffer! So it’s perfect timing that PakNak is generously offering a discount and sponsoring a wonderful giveaway!
