Pencil Pot Of The Month – June 2017
Description: Officially a toothbrush holder this item makes a great pencil pot, too.
Price: £2.50 in the UK. €2.99 in Germany. $4.99 in the USA.
Material: A stoneware container with a rubberised surface. I bought the turquoise version.
Further information: IKEA’s Ekoln toothbrush holder has a rubberised surface. Sometimes these surfaces can turn nastily sticky over the years. I hope IKEA did a better job than many other companies, but only time will tell. The $4.99 version from IKEA USA is available in different colours.
