For our GoCraft review we’ve chosen this unique set of four wooden coasters. We love the way these coasters look against any décor, from your “hunting cabin” to your modern apartment. Of course, they’re functional as well. Measuring 4.25 inches in diameter, these coasters are large enough to handle even your biggest frosted mug.
Your GoCraft wooden coasters are all handmade from mango wood branch. As you know, no two trees are alike! For that reason no two GoCraft coasters are alike, either. They’re individually cut, dried and polished on each side. Then, mango wood bark is wrapped around the circumference of the coaster.
GoCraft coasters are sustainable and biodegradable as well as responsibly harvested.

We couldn’t choose just one wooden coaster for our Lipper review, so we’ve chosen three! There are three different styles of Acacia wood to choose from, and they’re so variant in style, you may end up with all three sets!
The first set is a simple, circular Acacia wood coaster that’s wrapped in tree bark. This style is great for rustic or traditional décor, and the coasters are easy to care for. They come in sets of four.
Second is another set of round Acacia wood coasters, but these are coated in a gorgeous, dark cherry finish. This coaster set is suitable for a more traditional style of home.
Finally, Lipper offers a set of six square coasters with an included holder. The coasters feature a cork inset that’s absorbent and practical. The square coaster set will match almost any décor at all.

For our Bokia review we’ve chosen a coaster that’s modern and sleek, and that’s created from one of our favorite sustainable woods: walnut. Bokia coasters are gorgeous and unique to other products in that it’s fully reversible. Choose the walnut side to protect your table from scratches from your “dry” glasses. For instance, red wine. The reverse is a thirsty cork that is perfect for cold glasses of sweet tea or cola.
The Bokia Walnut Coaster Set arrives at your home beautifully packaged in its own gift box. The minimalist design of these handcrafted coasters will look great in any home, so be sure to gift them this holiday season.

Greenline Goods captured our attention with their city map coasters. If your home is one of the cities they feature, you’re going to love our Greenline Goods review.

Your city map coaster displays an outline of your state on one side, and a detailed, hand-etched city map on the other. The coasters come in sets of four and are sustainably made by fair trade artisans. Your coasters are easy to care for and we love that silicon pads help prevent the coasters from slipping on your tabletop.
