Present & Correct

Present & Correct always has something to love with all their retro fabulousness. I love the idea of using vintage lunch trays as desk organizers — I remember those things so clearly and how we had pink ones at our school. What color were your school lunch trays?

Present & Correct

I also remember how insane my classmates were about pizza day. And it’s funny because years later I had this déjà vu moment at work when a colleague came over to my desk and said, “Hey Hols, it’s buffalo chicken wrap day, we’ve gotta get over to the caf before they sell out”. I remember feeling like I was 10 years old again on pizza day. Funny how the more things change the more they stay the same, isn’t it?

    How fun! Really friendly and relateable merch shots.

    I want to say in highschool our trays were brown, but then again, I rarely ate lunch in highschool. Such a bad idea, but I think it had more to do with lunch room seating politics than avoiding food.
    The grade school I went to had blue plates. So fun to think about!

    That bright yellow tray is awesome! I want one. Hopefully since it’s so bright I’d be able to find it easily when my desk becomes, inevitably taken over by thing I’m going to put away “in a minute”

    I love all of this. I have a real soft spot for things that take me back to my own school days in some way.

    I always had to bring my lunch, so I don’t remember. But I am positive they were not as cool as these ones you are showcasing today ; ).

    Fabulous idea! It’s such a great way to gather all those odds and ends on your desk and elsewhere. By the phone, in the bathroom, jewelry. Great!
