Light-Up glasswares, how interesting. It almost feels like the 80’s. I guess if you’re in a dark place, as long as you can see where your drink is, all will be fine, .
A set of 4 for Light-Up Margarita, Martini, and wine glasses are $29.99 each set. The glasses are plastic with 3 different LCD lights with the capabilities of shifting through 3 different glowing modes. They’re washable and reusable.

On your decanters instead of on the walls. If you’ve got a hankering for all things masculine, perhaps a library/reading room/office that needs a classic touch, here are some Animal Head Decanters that might suit. Pewter heads and bases, there are also matching ice buckets and glasses.

Whenever the season changes, from Winter to Spring/Summer, I make an inventory of our glasses and always remind myself to get some new glasses. I like to match my tableware with the season. Kinda like this set of Spring Glassware.
Aren’t they cute? The different pastel color of the insect silhouettes on the glass are very refreshing. The spring design makes beating the heat that more enjoyable.
The silhouettes were applied by sandblasting and then colored in thesanded area. A set of 6 is $70 for non MoMA member,s and $63 for MoMA members.

And I mean “Geek” with ALL due respect!  I love this glass, and I think I want to get a set of these beer glasses for someone I love very very much 
Think Geek has the funniest write-up on these glasses too.  They claim that the size and shape is indicative of a Weizen, or wheat beer glass.  There’s a special warning attached too:
If you put the rice water that is Budweiser or Miller Lite into this glass, we cannot be held liable for your health care costs when you are overcome by an angry army of beer-pouring robots.

Feed the cat, take out the trash, mow the lawn; there are so many things to remember and now you can take your …read more
