Today's Prescription: Give a gift and benefit a charity at the same time!

Contemporary Concepts Pittsburgh has launched A Platter That Matterstm as a way for us to give back to our wonderful community. We will be donating 10% of the purchase price of every platter to the associated charity. Our first beneficiary is HEARTH, a local Pittsburgh charity, who provides a progression of supportive services and housing that empowers families to become independent, self-sufficient and adequately housed. We, at Contemporary Concepts, wanted to support this important cause so we enlisted the design services of Riverside Design Group and Wilton Armetale to develop our first platters made of recycled glass and recycled metal, respectively.

A Platter That Matterstm makes a perfect gift for housewarmings, engagements, bridal showers, weddings and many other occasions. The pieces are both beautiful and extremely useful! Each piece comes with an informational card about the cause and donation.

To be even more environmentally conscious, opt for no gift wrap! Just a ribbon around the box is perfect!

Today's Prescription: Make a statement with your laptop!

Tired of seeing your boring black or simple silver laptop sitting on your desk? Brighten up your day and your workspace by adding art to your laptop with a laptop "skin" or "tattoo". These little works of art fit most 15" and 17" laptops and the patented 3M technology is removable, re-positionable and will leave NO RESIDUE on your laptop!

When your laptop is closed on your desk or on the coffee table, you'll enjoy the colorful, fun image or message. When it is open, the people around the conference table, coffee shop, or even your own home will benefit from this little bit of artwork and it might even spark some conversation!

We have designs that are perfect for the working professional, stay at home parents, graduates, college students, teenagers, and more!

Some of the fun sayings include "Do not disturb... I am disturbed enough as it is!" or "Go forth and set the world on fire" (St. Ignatius Loyola).
