This is a plug for family. My niece-in-law, Audriauna, is doing quite well at turning a hobby into money — she blings stuff. You can see her work on TikTok (kids these days & their weird social media!), Instagram, and, of course, on Etsy. If you are a member of the cult of Starbucks, why are you drinking out of cardboard?
For better or worse, I live in a Starbucks desert. This is Caribou Coffee country! She doesn’t seem to have cups for my kind, but as she lives out there in the Seattle/Tacoma area I guess that’s to be expected.
I am told the liquid Mericans call “coffee” relates to the Nordic coffee blends the way the stuff from a galactic Nutr-o-matic (TM) unit relates to what Earthlings call “tea”.
There are apparently a million blends but you only like the ones you have been conditioned to like for decades.
Rhinestones may be a good distraction when you are testing a new brand.
I’m guessing the rhinestones would come off of a blacksmith’s hammer… but its tempting.
I have fond memories of excellent Caribou Coffee from frequent trips to MSP long ago. To hell with Starbucks.
Even though rhinestones aren’t usually my thing, I am oddly tempted.
I think that I’d actually be most interested in Blinging my laptop, though I think for various reasons it would actually have to be a plastic protective cover that was emblingened, then put on the computer in a removable way.
“Caribou Coffee”; doesn’t it taste a bit woody?
@ 5 astringer
Why woody? More like wet fur I would have thought.
Caribou is better coffee than Starbucks any day. The franchisee for Caribou in Northern VA went bankrupt years ago and they all disappeared.
