Description
This slate coaster brings a little festive cheer to the table, with a hedgehog in a red Santa hat peeping out from a sprig of holly, red berries and pine cones. Beside him, in typewriter-style lettering, are the words "Christmas Hedge-hugs from me to you". The square face is 10cm across each way and the coaster is 0.8cm deep, with softly rounded corners. The palette is a soft white ground with the red of the hat and berries, the brown and grey of the hedgehog's spines and the deep green of the holly, so it sits happily alongside red and white Christmas tableware.
We like it on a coffee table beside the sofa, on a side table next to a favourite reading chair, or on a desk through December, giving a mug or glass somewhere to rest. It is just as much at home on a kitchen table at breakfast or by the bed with a nightcap, adding a cheerful seasonal touch wherever you set it down. The printed words make it a natural little Christmas gift: slipped in with a card, added to a stocking or wrapped up with a bag of good coffee or a box of festive tea, it carries its own warm message from the giver.
The hedgehog design fills the face of the slate, from the lettering at the top to the holly along the bottom edge. Slate is a natural stone, so we suggest simple care: wipe the face with a soft damp cloth after use and dry it straight away, rather than soaking it or leaving it standing in water. Dust it with a soft dry cloth between uses. Come the first week of December, bring it out with the cards and the advent candles, and it will help make the table feel like Christmas has properly arrived.
