With two small children, an educational consulting business, and lots of volunteer obligations, I appreciate one-stop solutions.
One of my largest contracts requires me to write, print and ship 200+ pages of custom curriculum each month. Printing and shipping all in one place is a big time saver!
So, I’m thrilled to serve as a The UPS Store Brand Ambassador and to be able to offer my readers a great giveaway. I rarely offer giveaways on this site but I believe this will be a helpful one for the parents, educators, and homeschoolers who regularly read the blog and also for anyone who travels, ships gifts or products, needs small business shipping solutions, is moving, or does a lot of printing.
One of the reasons I am especially excited to partner with The UPS Store is their support of the Toys for Tots Literacy Program. AS an educator, I am passionate about literacy causes and will be working with The UPS Store in the next months to host a book drive to benefit a local literacy program.
Today, though, I visited my local franchise of The UPS Store for a very typical reason–to ship a package!
My mother’s Christmas gift arrived a day late and so I brought it right over to The UPS Store. They will re-package it and ship it and it will most likely arrive tomorrow! Too bad the original sender did not use The UPS Store!
—GIVEAWAY!—
The UPS Store would like my readers to have the opportunity to experience the convenience for themselves. They have given me $250 worth of gift cards to give away!
Prizes:
- One (1) Grand Prize Winner will receive $75 worth of gift cards to The UPS Store
- Two (2) First Prize Winners will receive $50 worth of gift cards to The UPS Store

I love their envelopes and paper for my 3 budding writers, this may be a duplicate but my computer has messed this up about 3 different times.
I like that I can take an item and they will completely pack it safely for me. I don’t have to store boxes and packing materials at my home.

I didn’t know you can print at the UPS store-i really like that.
I like that they pack items for me.
I just used the UPS store when we moved to ship extra clothes that couldn’t fit in the car and didn’t want to go to storage. The made it so easy, even taped up the boxes for me, and everything arrived quickly and effortlessly at our door on the other end.
I love the UPS store. We have one near me
