If you’re one of those guys that needs to slurp down some coke after doing a shot of Captain Morgan, then the Glass Quaffer is the product for you: Continue Reading »

Lolita is strikingly beautiful, and this is enough to convince me that having a glass painted by her is a good thing. Lolita (I’m not sure if she has a last name? I think it’s one of the one-word names, like Braveheart) hand paints wine, beer, and cocktail glassware with different themes to suit your personality through her company Designs by Lolita.

Lolita even has five awesome reasons why you should bring one of her glasses with you when you go out. Continue Reading »

Now you’re probably thinking, “I don’t remember there being an ‘I Must Have This #1’, and that is because it never existed…UNTIL NOW. In a move I’m sure all will agree with, I’ve made the incredible alcohol firing gun the first installment of this series.
