Description
This square ceramic coaster brings a dry bit of humour to the Christmas table. A weary, white-bearded Santa in his red hat sits beside an equally unimpressed elf in a green and red cap, with the words SANTA NEEDS A DRINK printed in bold black capitals beneath them. Behind the pair runs a black film strip on a blue ground, scattered with red, green and white stars and a few gold sparkle-effect stars. It measures 10cm along each side and 0.5cm thick, a neat size that sits under a glass or mug without crowding the table, and the bright, graphic colours mean the joke reads clearly across the room.
We see it earning its place from early December to the new year: on the coffee table during an evening of Christmas films, beside the drinks tray when guests arrive, or on a desk at work through the festive weeks. It suits anyone who likes their Christmas with a wink, and it makes an easy stocking filler or small Christmas gift that raises a smile the moment it is unwrapped. Because it arrives in a window box, the design is on show straight away, so it can go under the tree as it is or be tucked into a festive hamper.
The coaster is ceramic, with the print running across the whole top face, and its flat square shape and slim profile let it sit steadily on a table, shelf or desk. Care is simple, as for most ceramic pieces: wipe it with a soft damp cloth, dry it straight away and avoid soaking it. Ceramic can chip if it is dropped on a hard floor, so a little care when clearing the table keeps it looking bright. Tie a ribbon around the window box and it is ready to give, or keep it for yourself and let Santa have the drink he has clearly earned.
