pg tips
Made from a blend of Assam, Ceylon, and Kenyan black teas, PG Tips Black Tea brews a refreshing, robust cup with little caffeine and plenty of antioxidants. The tea bags are pyramid-shaped — more room for tea leaves to soak into water. Having tried various black teas over the years, I think it is the best in the world.

mio culture capsule light
Each eco-friendly Capsule Light is made from two capsule-like felt (100% wool) shells — one in color to direct light and the other in white to diffuse a soft and relaxing glow. It is designed for easy disassembly for transportation and recycling. Shades are manufactured by one of the last remaining millineries in the USA. Each light requires the use of a compact fluorescent light bulb (26W is suitable for use; lower electricity consumption and longer life), which is not included. I just love that the lamp looks like an acorn + a Super Mario Mushroom + the head of a Lego person. Available in three colors: Evening Gray, Camel and Kiwi. Designed by Jaime Salm and Katherine Wise.

12"h x 8"dia.
Max. cord length: 170".
