After receiving
Boatman Geller stationery as a
wedding present last July, I fell in love with the company and bought a ton of their stationery. I stocked up during the tent sale (which is going on again
here) and gave sets of 10 cards tied up with a ribbon to a bunch of family members for Christmas and birthday presents. The stationery is great quality and makes an awesome gift! I also kept a fair share for myself and use it for all my hand written notes.
I also subscribe to their
blog, which is how I found out that the Boatman Geller
preppy alligator was being retired. Here is an excerpt from the post:
"Sadly, the Boatman Geller preppy alligator has raised some eyebrows with Lacoste and has been deemed to be somewhat confusing when comparing it to the Lacoste icon. Today, we're honoring the retirement of a well noted figure in the Boatman Geller Collections, the preppy alligator. "I was so sad, because the preppy alligator was one of my favorites, but luckily the people at Boatman Geller alerted me that a
new preppy alligator would be part of the collection soon.
Well ladies (and the few gentlemen that read my blog), that day has finally arrived! On behalf of Boatman Geller, I would like to introduce you to the new preppy alligator!!!

Yay! So exciting!
Now, if you notice, the birth announcement is not quite complete...
And that is where you come in!
Boatman Geller needs your help naming the new gator!
