They collect paper discarded in Lebanon, recycle it and reform it into new paper and card, then print it with Sandra&#x27;s illustrations. The result is stationery made from 100 percent recycled material and handmade, FSC-certified papers. Their Lebanese Wonderpack gift set holds a hardcover, spiral-bound A5 notebook with 100 lined pages, a softcover to-do notebook and a bookmark with a silk tassel, all designed and hand-illustrated in Lebanon. The couple sells at the Souk el Tayeb market every Saturday, and their products are also carried by the Embrace Me online shop, so the range can be ordered from abroad.<\/p>\n<h2>Brand Information<\/h2>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th>Brand Name<\/th>\n<td>BtDt (Been There Done That)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Founders<\/th>\n<td>Alain Toufic, Sandra Toufic<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Products<\/th>\n<td>Recycled-paper notebooks, to-do notebooks, bookmarks, cards, stationery gift packs<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Where to Buy<\/th>\n<td>Souk el Tayeb farmers&#x27; market in Beirut on Saturdays; Embrace Me online shop<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Description<\/th>\n<td>Husband-and-wife stationery brand turning recycled Lebanese paper into illustrated notebooks and gift packs.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2>BtDt (Been There Done That) at a glance<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Run by a printer and a graphic designer couple<\/li>\n<li>Made from recycled, locally sourced Lebanese paper<\/li>\n<li>Designed and hand-illustrated in Lebanon<\/li>\n<li>Sells at Souk el Tayeb every Saturday<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Who is behind BtDt (Been There Done That)<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Alain Toufic<\/strong> (Co-founder, printer).
