Do you use coasters?

Do you have any coasters and actually use them? Or are they somewhere in a cupboard unused? Are there too many coasters everywhere?
Did you notice that any type of craft is applied for making coasters? Oftentimes very very kitsch.

I always have coasters on the dining tsble and side tables. Stops sticky rings on your furniture

I have coasters to prevent sticky rings and damage to furniture, etc. I buy them as souvenirs from places I visit. More useful than fridge magnets, not that I don't have any of them. The one under the mug of tea I have just drunk is made of ceramic material with a cork base and bears the image of Bletchley Park mansion (see my posts)

Yep, mint chocolate chip looking ones and gingerbread ones. I like my coasters to resemble food but my 2 year old nephew tried to eat them a couple of times.

Ontheroad · M

Yep, I made ten of them several years ago and use them all the time.

@Ontheroad What do you think of resin coasters with glitter?

Ontheroad · M

@Tamara68 Decorative, but unless they have some sort of insert (I used cork), cold drinks will sweat and you'll end up with moisture on whatever they are sitting on.

PhoenixPhail · M

I have coasters, and never use them. I've never bought any. The ones I have were all gifted to me.

James1956 · 61-69, M

Yes I use them, I have handmade wooden tables, moisture would damage them.

jackson55 · M

Yes, we use them all the time.

Tamara68 · 56-60, F

@jackson55 what kind?

jackson55 · M

@Tamara68 We have some made of wood, some that look like wicker, some cork.

Sojournersoul · M

Yes. I have them. However, my drink is on a piece of paper right now. Lol

Starcrossed · 41-45, F

Yes because I don't want my cheap furniture ruined.

hunkalove · 61-69, M

I had a bunch someone gave me. They lasted years. When i ran out I couldn't find any. Not even online. Someone told me to go to a bar, they're free. I haven't been in a bar since 1991. Now i make my own. I have some really cool ones! My favorite is from a box of Penguin CBD .

James1956 · 61-69, M

I use them constantly. I have to because of handmade tables that my dad made.

swirlie · 31-35, F

@James1956
If your dad never made the table, would you still use coasters then?

James1956 · 61-69, M

@swirlie
Yes I would

swirlie · 31-35, F

@James1956
Oh, okay. I just wanted to clarify your previous post where you said

I use them constantly. I have to because of handmade tables that my dad made.

Sroonaka616 · 31-35, M

Sometimes. If one is next to me or I am at someones house just not my house. As most of my stuff is second handed so what is the point.

Entwistle · 56-60, M

Yeah I have and use some. They are designed like vinyl records. They are really cool.

NinaTina · 26-30, F

Yes there fun

Sojournersoul · M

@NinaTina I knew even before i clicked on it. 😂😂😂

swirlie · 31-35, F

I use to use glass coasters with little rubber feet on one side, until a wet glass slid off the side of the coaster and tipped over, pretty much flooding my coffee table! Now I use ink blotters cut into tasteful round circles and carry them in my back pocket everywhere I go.
