A Coaster Set For Irresponsible Drinkers

[1] [2] [3]

silicone coaster setYour loser friends never remember to use coasters.

If you have kids, you can be sure they’re even worse.

In situations where drinks are roaming around your home, it can be a nerve-wracking experience for the host as ice cold beverages are placed on wooden shelves, glass tables, and other areas where damage is almost guaranteed. At best you have water rings and other marks to remind you never to invite guests over again, and at worst, you have permanent moisture damage that no amount of youthful smiles will prevent you from stewing over.

Thwart disaster, once and for all, by attaching a coaster right to drinks before you even offer them. That way you don’t have to stalk company to make sure they’re following the rules, nor will you be forced to explain why little Billy is in trouble for ruining your expensive new furniture. With a protective layer that travels with each beverage, you’ll be sure that every surface in your home is protected from damage. Instead of being a neurotic friend, or a helicopter parent, you can enjoy your peers at your next gathering, and you can allow your kids to have the freedom they deserve.

Our Silicone Grip Coaster Set is the perfect addition to any home, and it effectively solves the age old problem of lazy sippers and irresponsible drinkers. No longer will people roam willy nilly through your abode to plot the destruction of convenient flat surfaces, because no matter where they set down their beverage, it’ll be impossible to cause any lasting damage.

As an added bonus the material also provides a non-slip surface to prevent accidental spills, and the fun colors make it easy to tell whose drink is whose when everybody is enjoying the same thing, and from similar looking glasses.

What Are They, And How Do They Work?

Made from 100%, high quality silicone, the set includes six coasters in a variety of colors. The thick material is round in shape, and the perfect size to fit a variety of containers. Use on wine glasses, plastic cups, tumblers, cans, bottles and more because the adaptive design ensures a snug fit on all of them. At the outside edge of each coaster you will notice three large tabs. These are what hold it in place.

Simply open the tabs to insert the base of your stemware, or to set your can or cup inside. Once you release the tabs, they will close down to create a secure hold, and keep the coaster in place. Once installed, it’ll provide a protective barrier to prevent moisture damage, and a non-slip coating to prevent accidental spillage. Because each one in the set is a different vibrant color, you can even use them as drink markers at parties so nobody catches the cooties.

Because these stick-on coasters are made from superior materials, they’ll last longer and work better than similar looking products sold elsewhere. The bright colors won’t fade over time, and the silicone won’t go limp or lose shape with repeated use. If they get dirty, cleaning is a snap because you can pop them right in the dishwasher to get them clean without effort. Fully versatile, and not just for frosty brews or lukewarm wine, the material is fully heat rated to over 400 degrees so you can use them with coffee and coco too.

Don’t avoid having people over, and don’t force kids to keep drinks in the kitchen. You don’t have to hold parties outdoors, or in the basement to keep your home looking nice, and with these on hand, you won’t have to nag people in order for them to act right. Some people will never come to the realization that condensation equals moisture, and moisture equals damage to certain surfaces, so let them roam free with their oblivious happiness, to drink and be merry.

Just make sure to pop a coaster on before they crack open another cold one.

Other Ways To Encourage People To Use Coasters

Using coasters at a party can help protect your furniture from water rings and spills. Encouraging guests to use them is a matter of convenience and providing gentle reminders. Here are some tips to promote coaster use at your party:

  1. Visible Placement: Set coasters out in visible and easily accessible locations, such as on coffee tables, side tables, and the bar area. When coasters are readily available, guests are more likely to use them.
  2. Decorative Coasters: Consider using decorative or personalized coasters that match the theme or décor of your party. These can serve as both functional items and conversation starters.
  3. Polite Notices: Place subtle signs or polite reminders near drink stations or on tables, encouraging guests to use coasters. A humorous or friendly note can be effective.
  4. Lead by Example: Be the first to use a coaster when you set down your own drink. When guests see the host using coasters, they’re more likely to follow suit.
  5. Verbal Reminders: Politely remind guests to use coasters if you see someone place a drink directly on a surface without one. A simple, “Hey, feel free to use a coaster to protect the table!” can do the trick.
  6. Coaster Options: Offer a variety of coaster options to match different personalities or preferences. Some guests may prefer larger coasters for their glasses, while others may want smaller ones for cans.
  7. Coaster Games: Make coaster use a fun and interactive part of the party. Create a game or challenge where guests can earn points or prizes for consistently using coasters.
  8. Coaster-Themed Decor: Decorate your party space with coaster-themed decorations or coasters as part of the décor. This reinforces their presence and purpose.
  9. Coaster Etiquette Cards: Include coaster etiquette cards in your party invitations or as part of a party favor. These cards can provide a friendly reminder about using coasters.
  10. Coaster Stations: Set up coaster stations or designated areas where guests can pick up coasters if they didn’t grab one initially.
  11. Coaster Giveaways: Offer coasters as party favors or prizes. Guests are more likely to use a coaster they received as a gift.
  12. Be Gracious: If someone forgets to use a coaster, don’t make a fuss. Simply place a coaster under their drink discreetly.

Remember to strike a balance between encouraging coaster use and allowing your guests to relax and enjoy the party. Politeness and subtle reminders typically work best to ensure your furniture remains protected while everyone has a good time.
