Description
This round ceramic coaster says exactly what it thinks, in two lines of bold black capitals: "BIRTHDAY BITCH." The lettering runs across the middle of a clean white face, finished with a full stop for good measure, and the rest of the surface is left plain so the words do all the talking. The matt finish keeps the white soft and the type crisp, with none of the glare of a glossy glaze. At 10cm across and half a centimetre deep, it is a neat, slim disc that lies flat on a desk, a bedside table or a kitchen worktop.
It is made for the birthday that calls for a laugh rather than a sentimental card. We like it as a small gift on its own, or tucked in alongside a bottle of something or a box of chocolates, for anyone whose sense of humour runs to the cheeky side. Once the candles are out, it earns its keep as an everyday coaster: somewhere to set down a morning coffee at work, a glass of wine in the evening or a cup of tea by the bed. The wording is blunt, so it suits a home office, a kitchen or a bedroom better than a dining table set for a family lunch.
The coaster is made of ceramic with a smooth matt surface. To keep it looking its best, wipe it with a damp cloth and dry it straight away, and treat it as gently as any ceramic piece, since a hard knock on a tiled floor can chip it. Its round shape and slim profile mean it tucks easily into a drawer between uses. For gifting, wrap it in a square of tissue and tie it with ribbon, or leave it face up by their plate on the birthday morning, so the message is read before the first cup goes down.
