Still Waiting For My Own Cottage Swap Frosted Wine Glass - White

This frosted wine glass brings a knowing wink to the Christmas table, with the words "Still waiting for my own cottage swap" printed in bold black capitals across the front. Above the slogan sits a bright illustration of a woman bundled up in a pink bobble hat, a long pink scarf and a cream cable-knit jumper, raising a glass of red wine with a look of weary hope. Her portrait is framed in a pink circle topped with a gold glitter-look cap and loop, so it reads as a Christmas bauble, with stars in red, teal, pale blue and gold scattered all around it. The glass itself has a white frosted finish and a tall, stemless tumbler shape that curves in gently towards the base, standing 13.5cm tall and 7.3cm across.

With no stem to worry about, it sits neatly on a busy dinner table, a side table by the sofa or a kitchen counter through the festive season. We think it suits a pour of red or white wine, and it works just as well for a fizzy soft drink or sparkling water with the Christmas meal. The frosted glass gives a soft, wintry look whether it is full or waiting on the shelf. As a Christmas gift it is a sure laugh for anyone who has dreamed of swapping their own home for a snowy cottage over the holidays, and the joke lands the moment the paper comes off.

The illustration and lettering sit on the frosted surface in clear, bright colours, with crisp black type that reads at a glance. To keep the design looking its best, we suggest a gentle hand wash in warm soapy water and a soft cloth to dry, which is good practice for any decorated glass. For gifting, tuck a few chocolates inside before wrapping, or hand it over alongside a bottle for a ready-made present.
