How about a Scrabble-style alphabet coaster to go with the grammar mug? Or any mug for that matter?
I was given one of these as a birthday present. It’s now adorning my desk, where it’s catching the coffee stains as well as serving as a useful reminder of my name!

Thanks. It’s fab, isn’t it?
The socks are cool, although quite tempted by the Jane Austen glass thingys and the mug. 🙂
Glad you liked them! I tried to find things that were a little bit different from the usual.
Which one will I be getting??
For me, you mean?!
Haha… love these.
I especially like the cushion as I never finish anything either!
That reminds me of a great story about marketing actu…
Thanks Todd, glad you liked them (it was fun to research and write!). And I’m always happy to meet a fellow procrastinator 🙂
And I’d have thought the pink keyboard bag would be right up Jo’s street…
Sshhh! You’ll ruin Christmas!
Oops, sorry 😉
