So our run last year was pretty ok. We shut off some lights and all the displays and signboards. This year, we are taking a step further by literally shutting down everything in store from 8:30pm.

Yes friends, we are CLOSING shop(s)

at 8:30pm on Saturday, 28 March 2009.

CzipLee.com will also be ‘switched off’ too.

Why so? Well here:(from the source: Earth Hour 2009)

VOTE EARTH: YOUR LIGHT SWITCH IS YOUR VOTE

This year, Earth Hour has been transformed into the world’s first global election, between Earth and global warming.

For the first time in history, people of all ages, nationalities, race and background have the opportunity to use their light switch as their vote – Switching off your lights is a vote for Earth, or leaving them on is a vote for global warming. WWF are urging the world to VOTE EARTH and reach the target of 1 billion votes, which will be presented to world leaders at the Global Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen 2009.

This meeting will determine official government policies to take action against global warming, which will replace the Kyoto Protocol. It is the chance for the people of the world to make their voice heard.

Earth Hour began in Sydney in 2007, when 2.2 million homes and businesses switched off their lights for one hour. In 2008 the message had grown into a global sustainability movement, with 50 million people switching off their lights. Global landmarks such as the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, Rome’s Colosseum, the Sydney Opera House and the Coca Cola billboard in Times Square all stood in darkness.

In 2009, Earth Hour is being taken to the next level, with the goal of 1 billion people switching off their lights as part of a global vote. Unlike any election in history, it is not about what country you’re from, but instead, what planet you’re from. VOTE EARTH is a global call to action for every individual, every business, and every community. A call to stand up and take control over the future of our planet. Over 74 countries and territories have pledged their support to VOTE EARTH during Earth Hour 2009, and this number is growing everyday.

We all have a vote, and every single vote counts. Together we can take control of the future of our planet, for future generations.

CzipLee will be joining the world for Earth Hour, why not YOU join us too!

Here’s to saving the world, one switch at a time!

Well, we are definitely on a Kokuyo-inspired run here. First it was about welcoming the brand and introducing the tape-glue dotliners, then it was the 28-edged erasers and this time around, its another great addition to the dotliner range: A tape-glue that has shape of little hearts!

Aptly named Kokuyo Dotliner “Cute”, now you can have a fancy, ‘hearty’, compact and mess-free glue in hand at all times! Not only is the glue super cute, but it is also refillable!

 

 

 

 

Daily use of glue is now more fun and cute with the pretty hearts instead of the normal glue. Gift wrapping can be pretty and mess free with Dotliner cute. Envelopes can now be sealed with ‘hearts’. (Even hidden places can have cute hearts)

 

Dotliner Cute can be spotted at CzipLee in its very own special display:

Yes, its another amazing invention by the Japanese… what can we say – They really love their CUTE stuffs! =)

One of the first new launch of Moleskine this year is the Moleskine Cahier NEW colours 2009: red and navy blue. The Moleskine Cahier journals has always been a perfect notebook for every day usage, always a good representative of the legendary Moleskine design and qualiy. In addition to the standard Black and Kraft colours, Moleskine has introduced 2 new colours for 2009: red and navy blue.

All cahier notebooks are made with heavy-duty cardboard cover with stitching on the spine, which makes them strong. With famous durable acid-free papers, the back pocket for lose notes, and the last 32 detachable sheets, the Cahier hournals can perform perfectly different tasks for everyday use. They are very popular among office users, students, professors, creatives and professionals. Priced at an attractive price point, the Cahiers collection is the perfect way to introduce the Moleskine brand to a wider range of customers.

Cahiers are available in 3 sizes: Pocket, Large and Extra-large and in 3 rulings: Ruled, Plain and Square.

These NEW Colours and the original black and kraft ones are now available in CzipLee! =)

The idea for this unique shaped plastic eraser is that 28 corners are better than 8.

Kokuyo Co. Ltd., the maker of the Kadokeshi Plastic Eraser, says that when people use a standard rectangular eraser, they always use one of the corners. This is because the pointy-nature of a corner provides them with the accuracy needed to remove errant characters and marks. But when all eight corners of a rectangular erases have been rounded down, the eraser becomes less effective.
Thus this new design gives the user plenty of corners. When one of the cubes on this eraser becomes completely rounded off, you just cut it off, giving you access to new corners. (source: SNP)

Introduced in 2003, the eraser is part of the Museum of Modern Art’s permanent collection, and was featured in a 2004 exhibition, “Humble Masterpieces”. The eraser was designed by Hideo Kanbara as an entry in a competition held by Kokuyo. (source:penciltalk)

So 5 years on, a new and colourful range of ‘Keshi-s’ (as they are fondly known to us here in CzipLee) has arrived in store.

Packed in sweet/lolly packs and displayed in a plastic sweet container, they come in 10 different colours and they are now available in CzipLee Bangsar.

For more on these award winners, check out the official website.

We’re welcoming a host of brands into the CzipLee.com family and we kick things off with our favourite glue dotliners from Kokuyo. As most of our customers do tend to get the dotliners mixed up with the correction tapes because of the size, shape and design; we hope this video will help you differentiate them!

These tape-glue dotliners are pretty revolutionary and dumb-proof. We use them for everything: envelopes, photos (did we mention that they are acid-free, as well?), papers, cardboard, scrapbooking, etc. Definitely reduce mess, avoid sticky-ness, no spills and very very easy to use! We have long since crossover to the world of these dotliners from that of glue sticks!

P.S. Stay tune for more from the rest of the brands, we’re still piecing them together! =)
