For this blog post I want to temporarily revive the Pencil Pot Of The Month series that was running for 24 months from 2015 to 2017.
Description: Set of four pencil cups
Price: UK £5, DE €3.99 (i.e. much cheaper), USA: currently not available
Material: cardboard
Further information: On a recent trip to IKEA I saw these sets of four pencil cups. The specialty? They have built-in magnets and can be attached together magnetically.
Prices: August 2019
Neat idea to show off your wooden pen and pencil collection, brings a bit of fun to the desktop as well with the bright patterns
What I really want to know is if IKEA in the UK and Germany has beer in the cafeteria. The first IKEA I went to was in Iceland. They never appealed to me in the States, and we don’t have one in Anchorage anyway. However, on a trip to Iceland — Nordic country and all — I decided “When in Rome”. There was some interesting stuff there (somehow we fit all the Vukus or Hoivonens or whatever in our luggage home) but really the cold one at the end was what made it worth it. I think if you escape the labyrinth alive you deserve a little refreshment, but you would never in a million years find that in an American store. I don’t know if I could do it again without a beer to hone in on and find the exit.
