Repost: Cute Accessories for Office (Unplggd.com)

Thank you Unplggd.com! I actually do not want to alter anything. But here’s the direct link: Cute Accessories

Wood Whale Desk Organizer ($60): I am in love with this desk organizer. So charming and made of wood, this little whale will hold your pens, pencils, notebook and your phone.

Uglydoll Vinyl Toy ($10): I can’t get enough vinyl toys on my desk but it becomes a little overwhelming when they start to look like an army, so I switch them out once in awhile. This season I’m getting back into Uglydolls.

White Work Lamp ($24.99): This classic white lamp is simple enough to go with any workspace. Adjust the arm to direct the light as you please, it’s a nice minimal but functional accessory.

Numbers LED Clock ($100): Arrange these LED blocks how you like, each number can be changed based on its arrangement to tell the time.

The Nest Tablet Stand or Valet ($14.95): Not only does this stand hold your iPad easily at two different angles, it also functions as a holding space for personal accessories – like keys.

ARIKUI Speakers (10,290 yen): These anteater shaped speakers are a favorite of mine because it uses the wire and turns it into part of the product’s design. Who wouldn’t want their music playing out of a cute anteater?

Zeitgeist Wood Desktop Stand (31,500 yen): A truly beautiful stand in both design and material, this wood desktop stand by Japanese designer Zeitgeist is a good replacement for your regular plastic stand.

Flexible DINO Lamp ($190): Made of felt, these lamps can be adjusted to an angle that suits you. The bucket portion of the lamp holds all your desk supplies.

Florafil (Price N/A): This is the prettiest way to hide wires I’ve ever come across. I’d decorate my whole room with these and am looking forward to them becoming available some day.

My 2 Cents, Get it? Get it?

I was watching this show called Fringe, and one of the characters at the beginning of this season was always holding a piece of coin—it was a quarter. It had sentimental value as he intimately comments because it was given to him by his father when he was just 8 years old. So 2 decades past, the value of the coin increased. At some point he got rid of it, sold it and by the 3rd season of the series, he came back and bought it again from the place he sold it from.
This made me think, how much I’ve been educated when it comes to coin collecting hobbies. A few months ago, I read a book called Dear John. John’s father was obsessed with coins. It was their only means of communicating as a father and son. His father (John’s) would even go out of the country, fly thousands of miles to attend conventions and buy these now rare bullion coins. They buy bullion coins, sometimes buy gold bullion coins, sometimes they get gold bullion to where they attended a convention. Now I think it’s pretty common to get the gold ones and the silver ones. What are rare are the platinum made bullion coins which cost more and the appreciation cost rate will be higher than the usual.
