Novelty Coasters UK: Gothic and Witchy Sets
The gothic half of this page is what separates these novelty coasters from every other coaster listing in the UK. The four Steven Rhodes singles, Witches Brew, Demon Cat, Let's Sacrifice Toby and Sick of Your Shit, are sold individually at under nine pounds and are the cheapest thing here. Above them sit the four piece sets: black spiderweb, skulls, the talking board planchette set, the Til Death Do Us Party set, poisonous plants, dark forest and the Mystic Mog cat face set. The black talking board placemat and coaster set is the only piece that includes a matching placemat, which makes it the obvious choice if you want the whole place setting rather than the drink alone.
Wood Slice and Seasonal Coasters
The wood slice coasters are the second distinct group and they behave differently from ceramic. Winter solstice, bee radiant, garden, and the set of four Norse mythology slices are cut with a live bark edge, so no two are identical and the grain shows through the print. They sit warmer against a wooden table than ceramic does and they will not chip. Seasonal novelty coaster designs run alongside them: gingerbread man, reindeer and nutcracker for Christmas, daisy and floral bug for spring and summer, wheel of the year for anyone marking the eight festivals. The astrology wheel and floral glass sets round out the year round range.
Mug and Coaster Gift Sets
Four of the pieces here are boxed with a matching mug rather than sold as coasters alone, and they are the most gifted lines on the page. Good Witch Social Club and Bad Witch Social Club are the pair people buy together, with the waffle set and the If Mums Were Flowers floral set covering the softer end. If you want the mug without the coaster, the same artwork runs through novelty shaped and witchy print mugs. For a fuller table, pair these with bamboo serving boards and ceramic egg cup sets, themed glass water bottles and tumblers or novelty salt and pepper shakers.
Materials, Heat and UK Delivery
Three materials run through this collection and they are not interchangeable. Ceramic coasters with a cork backing handle a hot mug without marking a table and are the safest default. Glass coasters look better under a cold drink and will not stain, but they slide and they will not stop heat transfer as well. Wood slices are the warmest looking and the most forgiving, though they mark if a wet glass is left standing for hours. Sets are supplied as four unless the listing says otherwise, and the singles are exactly that. Everything is held in UK stock and ships on a tracked service, boxed rather than bagged.
