A few words: I stumbled onto this tumblr trend through the tumblr of author Rainbow Rowell. Most of the posts attribute hugbox as the originator of the trend. If you want to see more I’ve posted a bunch on my tumblr or you can go to the site and search the hashtag items of power. If I had any drawing ability I would make one showing me with Cinnamon (my teddy bear), a moleskin journal, a kate spade purse, a bag of granola, The Elements of Style, and some lavender oil.
Let me know in the comments what your power items would be.

I’m glad Joshua is keeping up with my blog!
My power items would be : coffee for sure, my favorite Clarks sandals, my smart phone (i.e. camera, to do list, calendar and means of speaking with people that are not three inches in front of me), baby wipes and good chocolate.
Great list. A smart phone is definitely a must (it is the source of all power and helps me from getting lost) and I love Clarks!
A hickory walking stick, a dog whistle, opera gloves, an 8′ silk scarf, my library card, and a mechanical pencil. With those at my disposal, I can conquer any natural, social or theoretical world.
Love your list. I definitely need to add library card to mine (it really is a power item). I also like to hear that you are a mechanical pencil fan.
Ooh I love this! I wish I could draw! Hmm, I think mine would be… My tea kettle, my bus pass, my notebook, a good pen (necessary to everyone, it seems!), my giant chef’s knife, and a box of angel hair pasta.
I wish I could draw too! Great items.
