Abstract
A receptacle with compartmented peripheral walls for displaying personalized and changeable graphics is disclosed. The receptacle has an inner cylinder and a transparent outer cylinder which are spaced apart by vertical spacers which divide the cavity between the cylinders into compartments, each of which houses a removable sheet of graphic material. In a preferred embodiment, each compartment is sized to hold a standard, stock sized paper, such as 8½″×11″, so the graphics may be quickly and easily changed. Graphic sheet access means are also provided, whereby a user can conveniently change the graphic sheets without having to use a tool or turn the receptacle upside down.
