I love the charger idea. Especially, because if you want to keep it neat then it encourages you to unplug when not actually charging (something I’m not too great about).

You are right! Ours are sitting there sort of semi-permanently plugged into the wall. Not pretty.

Making your own terrarium is the easiest thing ever and way cheaper than anything you’ll ever see at a craft fair or on the web. It took me one stop at a garden store for some charcoal and moss (which you can get anything outside really). All you really need is a pretty vessel and a cute figurine and you’re set. I love the one I made out of an old mason jar. Do it!

Thanks for the mention. Nicole’s method of hiding her chargers is genius.
