Hasbro Monopoly Lap Tray and Coasters

Posted on | Leave a comment

000113731If you spent a terse Christmas day playing board games with the family, then you might not want a product that is a further reminder, but if Monopoly only has happy childhood memories for you, then you may be interested in the Hasbro Monopoly Lap Tray and Coasters.

These are official products so the designs are exactly the same as on the classic London version of the board. The tray has an easy-wipe print of the game board on the top and a think cushion base underneath, made from beans which mould to fit your lap comfortably. The coasters take their design from the four corners of the Monopoly board.

The tray costs £16 and the coasters £6 from John Lewis.

Set A features homes from the Georgian period up to the 1940s, whilst Set B are four buildings from the 1960s up to modern day.

Vinyl Coasters at Paul Smith

Vinyl

Ok, so you don't want your table damaged by a mark off a cup or glass, but you don't want some crumby coasters kicking around either. The solution? Get some stylish coasters – like these Vinyl Coasters at Paul Smith.

Not coasters that look like vinyl, these used to be vinyl – made from abandoned/damaged records, then rescued and recycled into something for the home.

The downside of being so eco is that you don't know which coasters you'll get – depends what records dropped into the factory that day. But you do get six in a pack, with a price of £15.

Lotta Kuhlhorn Lindyhop coasters

Lotta-kuhlhorn-lindyhop-coasters

We've featured Lotta Kühlhorn's colourful retro designs before and here's another stylish product from the Swedish designer, these Lindyhop coasters. 

The design and colour are inspired by the 1930s dance craze but the sugary colours, combined with the black patterns gives them something of a 50s feel too. Whatever decade informs their look, there's no denying they would be a colourful addition to any home. Made from Swedish birch, they're pretty practical too. 

A set of the four designs costs £13.95.

They're similar in style to their vintage plate place mats, featured last year, with appetising designs of jammie dodgers, chocolate creams and rich tea biscuits hand-printed onto cotton. 

Two coasters of each biscuit are included in the sets of six. Each set costs £16.
