Does anybody have coasters they actually like?

[jane6672]

It seems like all coasters are either ugly, tacky, or ineffective. Many are all three.

I just want to protect my furniture, I don't want burger coasters or mustache coaster. I don't!!

I like the sandstone ones from zazzle.com - they have thousands of options. They aren't cheap but I signed up for their shipping program and they send me a $10 coupon every few months, so I've been getting coasters for a dollar or two every time they do that. I didn't do the shipping thing for that, I knew I wanted some things from there and figured it would be cheaper than paying shipping every time.

I have red leather square ones. Love. I also have them in brown. But I like red better. Pop!

I bought paper ones from the party aisle at Target because the tile ones I have are not baby safe.

Thinkgeek has coasters that look like little stargates.

I have these that I really like from World Market. Cheap, and they go with my color scheme. I also have some orange and white chevron sandstone coasters from there.

I bought these cheapos from walmart a few years back. Worked fine till my dog chewed them up.

I have ones that are rubbery and look like mini vinyl records They may not go with your decor, though.

I appreciate all of the suggestions.

But I really don't want themed coasters.

I'm so boring.

"Why can't we have coasters that are just coasters? KIDS THESE DAYS."

Our normal coasters are wood and stitched dark brown leather. So they pretty much blend in with the tabletops in our home - maybe you just want something neutral like that.

I can't remember where I purchased those - probably Target.

I have these.  LOL.

[wildfloweragain]

I have grey celtic knot ones that look like stone and ones that look like sliced amethyst.

I like mine- I got them at Kirkland's. They have our last initial on them and they match the room perfectly.

You've almost made me reconsider my position on non-coaster coasters.

The toasts make me chuckle!

Not fancy, but functional.  

[polka]

I have several sets.  

We have these and these from Pier 1 Imports.  And this set from Crate & Barrel.

There are a couple more we got awhile ago, but I can't find links to them.  

Oh, and we also have a set of Dodgers coasters that we keep at our bar.  

[papie]

I like funny cheesy coasters.

[AmeliaBedelia]

I have some from Michael Aram. They're fancy and look like silver leaves and I love them.

[chickadee77]

We have the same kind as bonquiqui. Function over form, in this case!

[tacokick]

Me! I have CB2 ones that are stainless steel and say "drink"

[sonrisa]

I have a couple different styles of great coasters. We are getting the dyed agate ones posted above for BIL this Christmas from uncommon goods (he is a rock collector). Art museum stores are a good source.

The target paper ones. I wanted to buy a million boxes because they were on clearance.

I love them. I'm on my 2nd set, since my first all eventually cracked. My company sells them in our retail stores, so I got my current set at a discount. My first set were a gift.
