You're My Favourite Person Square Wood Drinks Coaster - Tan

This square wood coaster carries one of the kindest, cheekiest lines we know: "You're my favourite person (don't tell the others)". The words run across its face in bold dark capitals, with a small star between the opening line and the word favourite, and person set largest of all, so it is the first thing anyone reads. The wood is a warm tan with a fine, even grain, and the square has softly rounded corners that sit comfortably in the hand. At 10cm across each way, it gives an everyday mug or glass a roomy place to rest.

It belongs wherever a drink gets set down: beside the sofa, on a desk at home or at work, on a bedside table, or by the kettle where the morning tea is made. Because the message does all the talking, it makes a small, easy gift for the person the words are true of, and a quietly funny one in a house where everyone else might wonder whether they are the favourite. It is the kind of present that needs no explaining: leave it on the side to be found over breakfast, or slip it into a parcel with a favourite tea or coffee.

The plain underside shows the grain of the wood, and four small dark pads sit at its corners so the coaster rests steadily on a table or desk. Wood needs very little looking after: wipe it with a damp cloth, dry it straight away with a soft towel, and keep it out of standing water and the dishwasher, as you would with any wooden piece. Set it by your favourite person's usual chair before they sit down and let them find the message for themselves; it says the thing out loud without anyone having to.
