Best bar coasters according to redditors

15 bucks.

That’s a fun idea! I’ve seen coasters that are like slices of a CT, and stacked they make the full image, ( these! ), that would be a fun thing to do if you could get your hands on those images! (They’re yours after all, you deserve to have them!)

Maybe I’m biased because I’m a nurse, but showing staff a cool xray or scan or whatever could be used as a teaching tool (still could be a HIPAA violation if they’re not directly involved in that patient’s care), but showing them to people just to show them, I’d still want to see but I recognize how illegal and not cool it is.

Not kiln fired but you can make your own robust coasters with your own photographs for less than $11 per coaster:

My wife gave me these a few years back, they're pretty rad.

I saw some mini pallet beverage coasters that are about the size of that at the mall the other day, it was over priced but I figured amazon would sell something similar. I ended up resisting the urge to order, but these are still in my shopping cart, they are 3in x 3in which is the size of the post it notes on my desk, so I'm guessing they'll work just fine as a holder.

Damn you, now I have to resist the urge to buy it again!

amazon is where i got them

I run these on my match guns and my long range guns. Never had an issue.

What about these awesome Polaroid coasters? You can use whatever picture you want.

Hi...I think you need to update your list to include a shipping address. Also, can you add this to your list for your mom, and maybe a few other things that she needs?

Amazon

I'm ordering from Amazon.

Almost all of these are $15 and under (plus shipping):

Best value:

• Love Letter Factory Edition - recommend over aeg edition for the minister card
  
• Set and/or Swish - i might give swish the edge due to the ability to dial in the difficulty
  
• Coup
  
• Make your own Skull set with blank coasters and day of the dead temporary tattoos
  
• Forbidden Island - recommending over forbidden desert because scuffed tiles can spoil forbidden desert
  
  2 only:
  
  
• Cribbage
  
• What's My Word - you only need the refill pads, the rules can be read online
  
• Star Realms
  
  The 2-3 player weird spot (it's harder to find games good at this player count):
  
  
• Wurfel Bohnanza - dice! but no one will accuse you of gambling with bean dice
  
• Haggis
  
  Great with 4:
  
  
• Hanabi
  
• Sushi Go!
  
• No Thanks!
  
• Tichu - can be played with a standard deck plus four marked-up jokers
  
  Great for 5+:
  
  
• Bohnanza
  
• 6 nimmt!
  

For the money yes. However, if you can afford it, a 1-6 or even a 1-8 would be cooler/better.

keep in mind this one has a very basic reticle.

That being said, I have this and it's solid.

Add this

C'mon...gimme. I've wanted this book for a while now, haha.

As for the dream gift, these would be pretty awesome.

You two look absolutely amazing! :D But really, you two are just simply amazing anyways!

These?

Congrats on moving! And good luck.

COLETTE0101 IS EPICLY BRILLIANT

Here's a cool lamp.

I bet you like Lord Of The Rings.

Coasters.

Hand lettering is always an option, yes. But there are great ways to cheat it too!

No etsy site, just doing this for a few weeks and not looking to make money from it. I have a Darby Smart page though. I'm normally a super busy grad student but my labs and everything are closed for break so being a neurotic academic type, I need some new projects to obsess over in the meantime. :)

Small ceramic tiles work really well for coasters and you can get them very cheaply at construction stores or online. You can also get bar quality coasters online very cheaply -- more flimsy but much less expensive.

As for lettering:

1. Find a font you like. Pinterest or google around for free font packages -- there are many for non-commercial use -- and find you love to download.
   
   
2. Type what you want on Word in the new font, adjust size, etc. and then either:
   
3. Print it directly on the coaster in light grey ink or
   
4. Print in black on paper. Color over the back of the paper with a standard number 2 pencil, making sure the back of the whole image is covered, and then place the image on the coaster, pencil-colored-side down. Trace the design on the front and the pencil on the back will act as cheapo transfer paper.
   
5. Draw over the printing/tracing with a pretty pen or metallic pen for extra fanciness!

These might not be actual floppys. Could be something like this.

I believe the original purpose of these was to attach a reel to a fly fishing rod.

And looks like someone's already carrying a super similar product. 🤔

1. A difficult question, actually. Because see, I have one group of things I would like to do, and something I need to do, if I had that much money. I would like to upgrade my PC, buy myself some games and stuff, and then blow at least a thousand on (late) Christmas gifts for all my friends, and then probably just save the rest. But If I actually had that much, I really need to have some serious dental work done, so I would spend a large portion of it on that.
   
   
2. Another difficult question, because judging on your wish list, we seem to have very different tastes. So something I would want would probably be of little interest to you. If it has to be something purely decorative, I would want this, though there are non-decorative things that I'd want much more. But for you... hmm... lemme look through your wishlist... this looks pretty amusing. I say you should grab that for yourself.
   
   
3. Er... Gonna skip this one. I know nothing about fashion...
   
   
4. I'm just gonna shill my friend's book again. It's a sci-fi action series and it's not bad IMO. He's currently working on the second book as we speak.
   
   
5. Like I said above... I reeeeally don't know anything about fashion so... I'm gonna skip this one...
   
   
6. What's with all the fashion questions? ;_; I invoke my third skip.
   
   
7. I'm gonna vote for /u/nacho_cheezus, because as far as I can tell, I've given him the most upvotes out of anyone on this sub. So if I've given him that many upvotes, I say he did something right!

A few years ago I saw a really cool computer set up that might appeal to you. The circuit board was hung on the wall like a picture and there was a frame with matting that covered the power supply and held lights that shown on the motherboard. It might have been in an early Make magazine. If so, it was no later than issue 25 or so.

You can also get circuit board coasters.

I'm also a fan of white boards. You can use shower liners as ultra cheap white boards. You can also get paint on chalk boards, but the dust makes me shy away from them.

Oh that is so exciting! Did you move from your city/state, or did you just buy a house in the area you already lived? I'm currently renting, but hope to buy a house once I've moved to another state. Home decorating is so much fun. It's like playing the Sims. I'm totally down for this, so excuse me if I link several things:

​

Wall Art:

If you're a fan of horror, there is this beautiful frankenstein and his wife wall art

Not sure what room you might hang this in but, beautiful regardless

I saw you said that you like cows, and thought this would be a fun piece to hang

​

Lighting:

This REALLY cool vintage metal pendant light

This cieling spider lamp fixture (not really a spider) would look amazing in your bedroom or livingroom

But of course, we can't forget some proper lighting for the kitchen, with this hanging glass ball edison pendant

​

A Few Misc, But Fun Selections:

the paper towel holder you didn't know you needed

a wine holder, because cows

to commemorate your new home

everyone needs coasters

​

Last but not least, some fun shower curtains:

fear and slothing in las vegas

it's so wrong it's right

bc who wouldn't want a cat riding a narwhal

shark it to me

​

Have fun filling your new home! May you make many new memories, good luck!

​

edit: im sorry, I dont know how to make the links shorter.

Lightsaber Lamp or chopsticks are pretty cool. This apron, this thermos, these playing cards, this bottle opener, and this ice cube tray are also pretty sweet!

There's a variety of cat tote bags but I personally love this one or this one. I also love these coasters, this plush, this game, this cup, and these magnets.

This camping first aid kit looks super useful, as does this multitool, and you can never have too many torches. An inflatable pillow, or a funky backpack cover might be cool too.

I'm not great at looking for stuff for kids yet, so I can't really cover that aspect, but I hope you like some of these suggestions!

​

I dunno, I think it'd be pretty fun to have SSD coasters, they'd look pretty cool, either that or just some PCB ones, I bet that exists.

Edit: it does

This throw lever is seriously amazing! I broke one but it was when I took a spill down into a creek and my rifle just kept going. But for $20 you get 2 of them and all I did was put blue Loctite on the threads of the wheel thing and it's absolutely rock solid! And it's nice and big, and will fit any other scope every made basically.

So just google something like “fastfire 45 offset” and go to images. I spent a lot of time thinking through my “one gun” optic set up. After trying a few options this is what I settled on and I am glad I did. It’s lighter than a lot of options (I.e. strike Eagle) and it provides a broader range.

Also these are an excellent budget option for a throw lever.

https://www.amazon.com/Breakaway-Nylon-Coasters/dp/B009SPDU3C

Fuck amazon though, Bezos is anti gun.

-Bluetooth wireless headphones are always a cool option.
-A really nice leather backpack/work bag.
-Star Wars The Black Series Risk Game.
-This super-cool gaming mouse.


Also, if you have some money left over to spend, here are some smaller gifts that can go in his stocking :)
-A picture of the two of you, in a nice frame.
-Cards Against Humanity.
-These silly floppy disk drink coasters.
-A portable charger. Super useful.

When the countdown to the new year is happening have someone switch main breaker power off as soon as the countdown reaches one. My aunt had my brother do this during our Y2K new year countdown, it was hilarious. For decorations you could use floppy disk coasters .

And sadly they've been out of stock all year :( However if you're willing to pay extra, these guys have some.

Whoops; I didn't realize you were a different person. I'm actually genuinely sorry about that.

/u/ReallyRick's wording seemed to be specifically calling out OP for being disingenuous about the price tag, when the product he linked falls within the bracket he specified. You are correct that the materials are different - I'm not sure it's enough of a distinction to invalidate the argument; both would make at-least-adequate, nice-looking coasters - but to expand on OP's position, I did an Amazon search for "tile coasters" myself, and even the cheapest ones I could find similar to what OP's solution would create (ceramic, not marble) were about $14 for a set of 4. Granted, I think that Amazon curates results according to location, so maybe somebody could find cheaper elsewhere. But even still, it's unlikely to beat the the price of $3 for four effective, nice-looking coasters.

These were neat, though.

Its not a real floppy!
