Set of 4 Santa & Snowman Cork Backed Coasters 10cm - Green & Red

These cork backed coasters bring Santa and a cheerful snowman to the table, two of each design in a set of four. Each one is a square of MDF with softly rounded corners, 10cm square and 0.4cm deep, faced with a painterly picture. Santa, in a red coat and hat with a full white beard, smiles out from a snowy fir wood inside a deep green border. The snowman wears a blue-grey top hat trimmed with berries and greenery and a red scarf, framed in deep red. Gold scrollwork, with a small star at each corner, runs round every border.

They come into their own from early December, laid out on the coffee table for an evening of films, beside the armchair for a cup of tea, or round the dining table when the family gathers on Christmas Day. With two Santas and two snowmen, the set mixes across a table for four, and the green and red borders sit happily with most traditional Christmas decorating, from tartan throws to a red-ribboned tree. Packed in a window gift box, so the designs show through, they make an easy Christmas gift to wrap and put under the tree, or to bring along when you are invited over for a festive meal.

The coasters have an MDF body with a cork backing underneath, which gives each one a soft base to sit on. At 0.4cm deep they are slim enough to stack neatly in a drawer once the decorations come down, ready for next Christmas. For care, wipe the printed face with a damp cloth and dry it straight away, and avoid soaking them or leaving them in standing water, as is good practice for MDF. We like to set them out with the Christmas table linen, or tuck the box beside a tin of biscuits for a gift that gets used every day of the festive season.

How big are the coasters?

Each coaster is 10cm square and 0.4cm deep. That is a comfortable size for a mug, a teacup or a glass, and the corners are softly rounded.

What are the coasters made of?

Each coaster has an MDF body with a cork backing on the underside. The Christmas picture sits on the top face inside a gold-patterned border.

Which designs come in the set?

You get four coasters, two of each design. Two show Santa inside a deep green border, and two show a smiling snowman in a top hat and scarf inside a deep red border.

How should I clean them?

We suggest wiping the top with a damp cloth and drying it straight away. Avoid soaking them, which is good practice for any MDF piece.

Do they make a good Christmas gift?

Yes. They arrive in a window gift box with the designs showing through, so they are ready to wrap as a Christmas present or to bring along to a festive gathering.
