SANDWICH TAGS!!!


SANDWICH TAGS. These are one of the most exciting new products to find and stock in the UGUiSU online store! I had never seen anything like these, I had never seen any more unique and amazing sticky notes than these before I found the SANDWICH TAGS. Seriously!

With the SANDWICH TAGS you can easily turn books into delicious looking sandwiches, but I mean not just for decorating but these awesome sandwich tags can be used as sticky notes which means you can write on them and use as book markings etc.

These SANDWICH TAGS are made with a very special cutting out technique by an exclusive Japanese paper processing company. Each sheet is printed on both sides and oh do they look real! Even packaged just like the real bacon and vegetables sold at supermarkets!

SANDWICH TAGS are available in BLT Set and the "fillings" -Bacon Set and Lettuce&Tomato Set.

P.S. I have changed the blog design, still in the process of experimenting... I hope you like it!
