The loot

Thanks Mrs. Claus! I was either really good this year or you were really bad!

1. 100% natural rubber flipflops made in Thailand. A staple that I wear out about every two years. Supposedly biodegradable. Will prob end up being my daily 3 season choice.

2. Car sunshade made in USA. Replaces free poster board sign cut to windshield size and now recycled.

3. Sheepskin slippers made in USA. I don’t know where the sheep are from. The sheepskin insoles can be replaced. I kinda feel bad for the sheep but they are super fuzzy, super cozy and lightweight. My old bean wicked good mocs had bits o’ (honey?) sole breaking off all over the house. 

4. titanium 300ml double wall cup made in Japan. This one is a natural titanium color with no handles to start. Smaller to fit a cup holder. Silicone lid so I don’t share my drink with the cats. I will prob retire my 12 year old anodized purple one now with lots of dents and scratches and no handles (a noisy failure point). See the loot 2013.

5. Stainless steel tea infuser for loose leaf tea. Fits my new cup!

6. Accessory zip bag and stickers.

7. Cotton Henley sweater. Not as itchy as wool. 

8. Hamnet by Maggie o’Farrell. Cause nothing says merry Christmas like a novel of the plague.
