Whether you’re into smoothies, juicing, hot tea, the coffee crutch, or you know, libations, now that we’re grown ups we have to think about things like protecting the woodwork. It’s so boring, isn’t it?

But hey, we can prettify anything – and coasters are no exception. Whether it’s adding some golden bling, color, texture, or children’s art, there’s something here to make those coasters sing. And prevent us from feeling like boring, old, stuffy folk. Instead, we’re the vibrant, creative kind!
