Hasta La Gadget!

Not everyone loves to invite guests to their home, as some of us prefer to keep our home, well, private, and away from the curious eyes of the rest of the folks out there. Others, however, see the home as a place where they can have warm fellowship with their other friends, and if you happen to be sanguine in your approach to life, then you might be interested in the £19.99 Glowing Coasters. Each set of 4 will boast of Radium-226 (Red), Plutonium-244 (Blue), Uranium-238 (Green), Thorium-232 (Orange) isotopes to excite the geek in you.

These Glowing Coasters are no ordinary coasters, and thankfully, they do not carry any kind of radiation that will make you grow a tail or perhaps a third eyeball, but rather, will work on regular batteries. The Glowing Coasters also do not depend on sorcery of any kind, but rather, it will use pressure-sensitive coasters to light up your beverages, with each of them capable of emitting a soothing radioactive glow. Each set would run on eight 3V CR2032 batteries (which are thankfully included to help you get started right out of the box).

It goes without saying that these are not dishwasher safe at all, so a simple act of wiping it with a damp cloth to keep it clean will do.

These coasters make a very simple statement. If you don’t beat the Space Invaders, your ass is grass. And they are the cosmic lawnmower. Can’t beat the high score? Let’s face it, this game is turf. I have a million of ‘em… and they are all that bad.

On the other hand, these coasters are pretty cool. You don’t see the Space Invaders come in a grass version very often. These are the work of Etsy artist LoveFromCyprus.

These Space Invaders don’t even bother forming ranks. They all shoot solo from the grassy knoll. They measure approximately 5″(w) x 3″(h) and will keep your furniture free from damage – though you will now have a house full of aliens.

You get six coasters for ~$20.87(USD), or eight coasters for ~$27.82(USD).

I’m not a big fan of typing on touchscreens, as I make way more errors and type much more slowly than with an actual keyboard. Call me old-school, but I like to feel the keys under my fingers when I touch type. While these keyboard coasters won’t help solve my flatscreen typing woes, they should keep my table clear of drink sweat.

MollaSpace’s acrylic keyboard coasters remind you to “S-P-I-L-L-O-N-L-Y-I-F-Y-O-U-D-A-R-E.” Though the consequences of getting a little soda on these keys is much less dire than spilling a drink on your actual computer keyboard.

$20 bucks buys you a set of four keyboard coasters, including two in black and two in white. And if you’re looking for an actual computer keyboard you can spill drinks on, check out this one.

Coasters are meant to help prevent nasty water stains on your expensive coffee table, and it makes perfect sense to “invest” in a little bit of extra money, after all, it is far cheaper to purchase coasters than a new coffee table, right? Assuming you are in the market for some cool coasters, what are your options? Those with a flair for design as well as practicality can look towards the £11.99 Water Absorbing Concrete Coasters.

It is said that these Water Absorbing Concrete Coasters are more than capable of soaking up spillage, while looking absolutely awesome. It is made up of a non-toxic blend of ash and cement while boasting a non-stick base, making these unique coasters resemble a section of footpath right after a massive earthquake. Good thing no lives were lost in the production of this puppy, and it is 100% eco-friendly while you are at it.
