Affordable Gifts for men – The 12 Days of Dappered #9

Slate Coasters | Set of Four – $19.95

12 weekdays, 12 gifts, not a partridge or pear tree amongst them.  And no golden rings either.  The goal is to keep these affordable (which is honestly, tough to define) but still interesting.  At the very least these should be idea starters.  Click here for the previous days.

Most of us have 43 billion pint glasses yet only four coasters.  And that’s assuming your dog hasn’t chewed one of them to pieces, leaving you with three and a half coasters.  You won’t have to worry about your pooch gnawing on one of these, because if he does?  You’re in for an emergency trip to the vet, and he’ll never do it again.

Made of slate with a felt backing so they won’t destroy your furniture, these coasters are both figuratively and literally sharp.  You can also kind of keep track of whose drink is sitting where by simply writing on them with a piece of chalk.

Made in the USA, downright dangerous if dropped.
