2025 Snowflake Challenge: Day 7

Challenge #7

In your own space, create a list of at least three things you'd love to receive, something you've wanted but were afraid to ask for - a wishlist of sorts.

This really isn't my cup of tea, but here goes.

Icons

1. A cleaning/decluttering/housework icon

2. A Watson icon [Burke or Hardwicke of Granada, Paget's illustrations of the original stories, text of the original stories, Martin Freeman]

3. BTS icon [OT7 or Jimin, especially pink-haired Jimin, SUGA, especially mint-haired SUGA or Agust D, Jin or Jungkook]

Crafting

If anyone has washi tape or stickers or any vintage ephemera they wish to part with, I'd be more than happy to take them :)

Recommendations

1. Coffee. I want to switch to a fair trade coffee (ground not whole beans) but I am having difficulty finding a brand which is to my taste (available in stores or at least to be shipped to the US). To be honest, I like Dunkin Donuts coffee the best. Medium roast, not too bitter, not too light. I am going to try Equal Exchange, but brands at my organic store either overwhelm me or just don't seem to be something I would drink or are very pricey.

Have you looked at Good Store/Keats and Co? They're fair trade (they aren't actually fair trade certified, but they say they work hard to ensure good labor practices and I believe them--explanation here), and profits go to Partners in Health to support their fight against TB. They do offer ground coffee, but the light roast ground seems to be sold out at the moment, which is annoying me because I want to order some for myself.

I just ordered a bag of the medium/dark roast ground to try! We'll see how it goes! I'm a sucker for Keats. :)

FYI, I ordered one bag of the Octavia (the medium/dark) from Keats & Co and like it a lot. I don't know with the current household budget constraints that I will be able to buy it often, but I definitely like the taste enough to make it my regular so thank you for the rec. Right now I am trying to see how long it takes us to go through the bag.
