Letterpress Coasters - Help Me Pick

John Derian, I love you, but your Target collection coasters just do not cut it for me. When my glass sweats, the bottom sticks to the melamine and drips cold water down my legs - yuck! Coaster disdain sent me on a hunt for something pulp-y that would soak liquids in rather than create a cold puddle. My natural first thought was letterpress. And so the etsy scour begins... and the options are limitless.

Do I want a custom monogram from Sarah Ridgely, something a bit more quirky from Lark Press, or citrusy dragonflies from The Paper Peony?


Green chair Press's pine cones remind me of fall growing up in the Panhandle, but Ruby Press must have known about my weakness for peonies.


And of course, true to my profession, a wood block and type collage coaster for my inner typography nerd. Oh yes, and for context - here is the desk they will be resting on ...


Or maybe I should get two sets and keep one on the coffee table?

What do you think? Which should I pick? Let me know in comments!
