Thermos travel mug

What’s not quite a thermos . . . but actually is a Thermos???

It’s a Thermos travel mug!

And it’s all yours if you win the Great Thermos Giveaway of 2015.

I’m still into plaid this year and still into thermoses, so this was a no-brainer for me. Let’s give away one of these bad boys!

If you’re interested in being in the drawing, just leave a comment below. Not going to make you stand on your head and twirl around for this one. It’s all old-school here.


Those of you who are reading this via an email (Hi, there!), you’ll need to pop on over to the blog and leave a comment there to enter.

The Deets:

  • One entry per person
  • Just leave a comment below if you want to enter
  • Entries will close on Sunday, November 1st at 10:00pm EST

* Can I just say that I am not happy with the photo of the travel mug. There was something weird going on with my camera yesterday and I could not get the red to look like it looks in person. It is actually a gorgeous dark primary red color which will make your heart happy.

  2. Yes please! I too LOVE a beautiful thermos. There is just something so wonderful about this vintage staple. (I also love that they still turn up at garage sales and thrift stores). They work for any season! A lovely pop of color for a Christmas display but also beautifully simplistic in a “summer day at the lake” scene. Can’t say enough about this wonderful little treasure!

  13. This thermos would look with the vintage Silver Streak Camper that I am currently remodeling. I can see myself sipping on some steaming coffee as I stand back and look at the results of all my hard work. What a great photo that would be! I am so glad I came across your blog last year.

    How fun is this. I am not a coffee drinker but I could see this as a cute and unique vase for some pretty fall or Christmas flowers. Lots of possibilities for this wonderful mug. Thanks for the chance. Super cute.

  51. I too appreciate the beauty of a thermos. So much so that I’ve amassed quite a collection that I display in my garden shed. This said I do not have a thermos coffee mug, that I would put to good use holding my pumpkin lattes or minted cocoa as I head out to the thrift stores to pick more display thermoses! Lindy

  52. I, myself, am vintage; I remember the original red plaid thermos very well. Your photograph is fine, most of us know what shade of red it is. This is a great gift; I plan on checking out the websites you are showing for other vintage items. Plaids and polka-dots are my favorite!

  117. That is just so nice and it goes well with a bucket I found my mom had in the same plaid and she didn’t want it so for Thanksgiving as my house is over done with Halloween, I take it out as a display. I like how you used it for Christmas, will try it as well. The mug would be nice to have to hold the m any cups of caffeine I need.
