Description
This square wooden coaster carries the Cancer star sign in fine white line work on a soft blue gloss face. At its centre sits a crab drawn in a single clean line, ringed by small stars and dots, with the word Cancer above it and the dates June 21 to July 22 printed across the top above a thin rule. Towards the bottom, three words sum up the sign: emotional, caring and protective. It is a compact piece, 9.6cm from top to bottom, 9.5cm across and 0.4cm deep, with gently rounded corners, a dark edge and a speckled light brown backing.
We like it anywhere a cup of tea or coffee comes to rest: beside the bed for an evening brew, on a desk next to the laptop, or on a coffee table in the living room. At 9.5cm across it takes an everyday mug while staying small enough to tuck beside a lamp or a pile of books. The pale blue is calm rather than loud, so it sits easily with white, grey, natural wood and other soft colours. If you follow the stars, the three printed words make a small daily reminder of the sign's traits, and the coaster makes a thoughtful small gift that is easy to wrap.
The coaster is made from wood with a gloss finish on the printed face, which keeps the design crisp and the surface simple to wipe. The flat board sits level on the table. For everyday care, wipe the face with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry it straight away, and as with any wooden piece, avoid soaking it or leaving it standing in water. Dust the edges with a soft dry cloth. Set it out on its own as a nod to the sign, or tuck it into a gift bag with a favourite tea for a present that feels personal without much fuss.
