Not technically stationery, but if you like stationery you might also be a fan of hot drinks. Certainly for use notebooks and coffee are the perfect combination.

Last year we ordered the PLEI Coffee Collar. It is actually a pretty neat product. According to the Campaign, 1.6 paper cup sleeves are consumed per day per person on average. It made me realise that while I had changed over to a re-useable cup, I was still getting a sleeve each time I used the cup. This could be more than once a day. So buying one of these coffee collars was a no-brainer.

The coffee collar is adjustable. However, while it is supposed to fit all coffee cup (which it does) for some of the ones I use you have to push it quite near to the top (and therefore isn’t centred where you would normally hold the cup). Additionally, with some cups, if you set it down it slips down. That said – I still use it all the time. These are really just minor niggles and you soon get used to them.

I also have to keep it on my re-useable cup, so that they don’t automatically put a cardboard sleeve on it before they give it to me (unless I am in one of my local stores). This, however, has downsides, it is more likely to get sticky and covered in syrup and other stuff.

The other neat thing is that it does fold up. So if you are not using your reusable cup you can still carry around your coffee collar. Also as part of the Kickstarter you could get it monogrammed which was pretty awesome.

I can’t see anywhere that you can buy this post-campaign. However, I did want to share with you their current Kickstarter Campaign Nanobook Notebookwhich is running until 24 May.
