Posted on by

If you have been reading my blog for long you will know that I have a huge love of office supplies! Set me loose in an office supply store and watch while I go crazy for all the pens, paper, folders, organizers, and calendars. It’s like a kid in a candy store!

So of course I am really excited (and a bit jealous) that I get to give away a USB Flower Hub to one lucky reader! Oh how I wish I could enter my own giveaway for this adorable and useful item. They are sold online at See Jane Work, a site that sells all kinds of wonderful office, organization, and tech items.

With four “flowers” for your USB 2.0 items, this is a super fun way to keep all your technology organized and working. USB hubs make things so simple too, no more plugging and unplugging just to download photos! Compatible for both Mac and PC, with no software needed. Wouldn’t it look cute on your desk top? Would you like a chance to win?

  • This is open to those in the USA only.
  • For one entry leave a comment on this post letting me know why you want to win.
  • For an additional entry, like the See Jane Work Facebook page, then leave a comment letting me know you did so.
  • This giveaway will be open until midnight on Wed. October 12, 2011.
  • The winner will be chosen at random and contacted by email after the giveaway closes. They will then have 3 days to respond, otherwise a new winner will be chosen.

A huge thank you to See Jane Work for providing the product for this giveaway! Good luck!
