Shaboo Prints Honored with "Best Stationery" Award

    LOS ANGELES, CA, November 05, 2019 /24-7PressRelease/ -- For the first time in a decade, a big box store didn't win area publication Pasadena Weekly's "Best Stationery" award. This year, the honor was bestowed upon local businessowner Veronica Vargas and her company, Shaboo Prints. The award is determined by votes cast by verified Pasadena Weekly readers.

"We actually edged out a big box store!" says Veronica. "This is such an exciting moment for us. Make room for the small but mighty Shaboo Prints!"

Veronica — or Imagineer Veronica as she calls herself in the "World of Shaboo" — named her company after a game she used to play with her godson. "We would play and frolic and I would yell, 'Roo Shaboo Shaboo!' That has always stuck with me, and Shaboo became the perfect name for the company I was creating. Shaboo represents a time in our lives when the world was big and the potential was huge and anything could happen. I try to remind folks of that world — of their ability to connect, express, and play."

Shaboo is an innovative social expression company that features a variety of ever-evolving goods and services, social media, and digital entertainment, including:

• Greeting Cards: Physical cards that are leading the industry in the use of interactive augmented reality bonus experiences, thanks to a recent partnership with software company iGreet.
