It's time to protect your coffee table like a gentleman. Forget those cheap bar coasters and upgrade to these leather ones from Tanner Goods. They're the most sophisticated coasters we've come across. Cut from 10/11 oz. natural tooling strap leather, the set include four coasters all burnished, dyed, waxed, and stamped by hand. Each leather coaster measures 4" x 4" and comes embossed with a rawhide mallet graphic and logo. Until we come across some velvet ones, these are the most fitting for a gentleman, his cigar, and a glass of scotch.

While waiting in the insanity that is a line at Starbucks, you'll be tempted with many things to buy.

Ignore the cute polar bear/pig hybrid this ice tray happens to look like.
