I live close enough to my new workplace so that I don’t really need to wake up “early” to catch trains or anything like that. This leaves me plenty of time to wake up and get ready and make a cup of coffee. I thought I’d save some money by investing in a thermos so that I won’t need to go to Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts every morning to get a cup of joe to get me started. And just in case I’m running a bit late, maybe I’ll look into buying one of these SIGG Trend Line Thermos bottles so I can pour my own homemade coffee into it and take it to work. At $9, all I need to do is bring homemade coffee twice before breaking even on this purchase. What say you? Do you have a better thermos alternative? Something that holds about the same amount as a standard mug and doesn’t look like I’m carrying camping gear…?

So at work there’s this area in the kitchen designated for giveaways. You can put anything there and you can take anything there. Usually, the area is filled with promo books and CD’s and the occasional hair/make-up set. In all of my time at Hearst, I can only recall ever taking something from that table once.
But yesterday, somebody put a brick there. A normal, light-colored brick. And for the second time ever, I wanted to take an object from the giveaway table just to confirm to the giver that yes, that was an awesome item up for grabs.

I really love this quilt cover and pillow case set that’s made to look like a folded cardboard box. The idea behind the sheets come from The Le Clochard Project by SZN, which hopes to help young homeless people in the Netherlands. A large portion of the proceeds from the sale of the quilt cover and the pillow cases goes towards helping young folks in the Netherlands find work or continue education.
The quilt cover comes in several sizes in a price range from about $73 to $117. A set of two pillow cases costs about $22.
