Weekend Giveaway: Marcal Small Steps Paper Product Packages for 5 winners

by Crystal on March 20, 2010

**GIVEAWAY CLOSED**
When Marcal Small Steps first contacted me about running a review/giveaway, I have to admit I was a bit leery of their products. Something about recycled paper products just seemed a little eww to me. Maybe I’m just weird like that.

At any rate, I know some of you have mentioned you liked Marcal products and I figured at least a number of you wouldn’t mind winning some free toilet paper, napkins, paper towels, and tissues, so I said I’d run the giveaway.

Then I realized that I meant I had to try out the recycled paper products myself so I could write the review! Uh-oh!

Well, it wasn’t nearly as bad as I thought.

To be perfectly honest, I was unimpressed with the toilet paper and tissues. They seemed cheap and cardboard-ish to me. We often buy Aldi toilet paper, so it’s not like we’re Charmin “snobs” or something. And we don’t use paper towels at our house, so we gave those away to some friends who do.

I really liked the dinner napkins, though, and thought they were very high quality. And even if the whole recycled paper products thing is a bit of a turn-off to me, I love the fact that their products are hypoallergenic and whitened without chlorine bleaching.

You can read more about the Marcal Small Steps company, mission, and manufacturing process here.

I like it just fine, though my brother complained about the toilet paper when he was visiting, LOL, and bought his own. I guess he’s used to super soft. I think the paper towels work just fine too. So I’d love to win some!

I would love to win this collection of paper products.

Leslie March 21, 2010 at 6:07 pm

I use their products. The toilet paper might not be as soft as a charmin, but the amount of processing is so much less and so much better for the enviornment, esp since it is recycled.

Lisa B March 21, 2010 at 6:07 pm

Recycling always helps the trees and the enviroment. I think this is a good idea. I love to bake the dinner napkins sound nice.

Kathy March 21, 2010 at 7:15 pm

I would love to try a product that is so kind to the environment. I would really love to win the Marcal product give away. I have a 2 year old at home and we go through miles of napkins and paper towels and well hello….everyone uses toilet paper! It would be so great to win!

I agree – the t.p. is less than stellar, but free is free, and I’d like to try their other products!

sophia March 21, 2010 at 8:05 pm

I’ve only tried the tp and the napkins and I really like the napkins! The tp is okay but since my 3 year old loves to use mass amounts of tp and plug up the toilet, I appreciate that the Marcal is one ply which means I’m less likely to end up with a plunger in hand.

Karen March 21, 2010 at 8:05 pm

I have not used these products in years and would love to try them again. Thanks for the chance to be a winner.

Terri March 21, 2010 at 8:06 pm

I have been meaning to try these. I would love to win so I can try it out.

Kathy Jacob March 21, 2010 at 8:18 pm

I’ve never tried these. I’m curious.

Judy March 21, 2010 at 9:32 pm

Paper products that are free ARE the best! :) Ironically, when they had all the free product coupons I couldn’t find the product in the stores … thanks for the great giveaway!

Carol Luciano March 22, 2010 at 4:30 am

I typically only buy their paper towels when I have a coupon. They are nothing fancy but they do the job so that’s what matters.

Laura March 22, 2010 at 6:35 am

I’d love to try

Jenny March 22, 2010 at 6:55 am

Winning toilet paper is never a bad thing, even if it is “cardboard-ish” :) My husband threatens to ration the stuff…it’s so expensive!

Annie-Michele March 22, 2010 at 8:47 am

I would love to try these. Haven’t been able to find them because they are out of stock so that probably means something good.
