open sesame! *

i own a whole bunch of these and i'm a big, big fan. sesame's gorgeous coasters come in a number of patterns and these two are currently at elsewares for $10 (8 in a pack). the colorful animals and expert execution make each coaster a mini work of art. almost too pretty to place a beer on- but at this price, you can afford to pass em around even to the sloppiest guests. click here to buy the fish and here for the blossom set.
