In today’s go-go-go world, sometimes we forget to slow down and enjoy the little things that make life so much sweeter. Sound clichéd? Well, maybe. But if you take a break and a breath, you’ll find that there are pint-sized pleasures all around you.

Remember sock moneys? Well today’s coffee mug of the week is a little unusual but perfect if you like monkeying around…
Just like the sock monkeys from the 1950s, this little guy is ready to listen to you complain or share a secret, and most of all…he is a perfect coffee date. It would be great tucked into a gift basket with a loaf of banana bread!

These days, it’s hard to rationalize a pricey appointment at a swanky spa. And even though a papering pedicure sounds sublime, you know that your wallet will feel the effects long after the polish on your toes has chipped.

The holidays are nearly upon us, folks. I like holiday cups but I hate the fact that once January hits they look kinda forlorn. I think this one would work for me most of the fall and winter. I love it.

Isn’t it awesome?

O.k. browsing the internet today I came across a really cute idea. These homemade tea bags  are just awesome. They would make incredible Christmas gifts for the tea lover for sure.

I found them at Bonzai Aphrodite, which may be added to my top ten, because the blog, images, and stuff is amazing. Hey, you know I am impressed; I said awesome, incredible, and amazing in the first 55 words! Basically you take unbleached cheesecloth and fill it with your own personal tea blend.

This can be found on Amazon.

I love this coffee cup for a lot of reasons.

How cool is that? Great gift idea, too.

This coffee mug, coffee cup, tea cup, or modern art object is pretty much the coolest thing I have seen in awhile. It is definitely the perfect gift for those unique individuals that just don’t do things the same way as everyone else.

Need another look?

Isn’t it cool? I found it at Steve Watson Products.
