Brian and I love to read, so we totally got a kick out of the coaster set from OutOfPringClothing.com. This set provides a nod to eight literary classics, including one of my favorite, Pride & Prejudice! Even the packaging alone on the coasters is clever – it looks like a canvas-wrapped hardback book with a [...]
