Description
This square slate coaster carries a birthday message with a good sense of humour, engraved in soft grey lettering across its black face. It reads 'Didn't have my age so by definition that makes me an Absolute Legend', then goes on to call its owner one of a kind, built to last and someone who just keeps getting better. Rows of small stars and curling flourishes frame the words, and the mix of bold capitals and flowing script gives it the look of an old shop sign. It measures 10cm across each side and 1cm deep, which leaves room for a mug or a tumbler, and its edges have an uneven, rustic finish that suits the natural look of the stone.
We think it makes a cheerful birthday gift for anyone who enjoys a joke about getting older, and the message works just as well for a quiet birthday at home as for a bigger celebration. On a desk it keeps a morning coffee company, beside the sofa or on a bedside table it holds an evening drink, and on a home bar or a kitchen shelf it sits happily alongside glasses and bottles. Being small, flat and square, it tucks easily into a gift bag or a birthday hamper, and it is a gift that gets used every day rather than put away in a drawer.
The coaster is a single piece of slate 1cm thick, so it feels solid in the hand and lies flat on the table, and the lettering is engraved into its surface, showing grey against the black. To keep it looking its best, wipe it with a damp cloth, let it dry fully and dust it with a soft dry cloth between uses. Pair it with a favourite beer, a bag of good coffee or a bottle of something special, and the birthday present is ready to wrap.
