Nothing tastes more refreshing than a cold beverage after a long day of getting beaten over the head at work, or a hot cup of hot chocolate after being beaten over the head outside in the snow. The Superhero Coasters are a geeky, and relatively inexpensive, way to make sure that your fancy tables don’t suffer from drink-rings of death.

A pack of four contains Superman, Batman, the Green Lantern, and Wonder Woman coasters, and costs $13(USD). Superman can withstand the heat of your drink, and the occasional stray bullet, but don’t put these coasters in the dishwasher. Or, if you would like to bring about the quick demise of your favorite childhood heroes, get a dishwasher. Or you could get a hammer, which would be more fun, but it would certainly still be a waste of 4 perfectly geeky coasters. Also, $13, which is a lot of money for some people. Besides, you could take that $13 you saved and put it towards buying more stuff that you don’t really need, such as the Arcade Button Coasters or the 8-Bit Hair Bows.

Head on over to the product page at Neatoshop to check out the Superhero Coasters, and head on over to my buddy’s house to watch us punch each other in the abs and tighten up our cores. *Gets punched in the stomach* I can feel the burn! Actually, wait, that may have been my pancreas… KEEP GOING I THINK IT’S WORKING *Gets punched again and doubles over on the ground* Thumbs up! I can feel that six pack growing steadily now!

The Superhero Coasters would make a great gift for any geek who has the physical need to drink, but if you have bad taste and despise this set of geeky products, just look at the TARDIS Purse and get out of my face. Seriously, you need to take a social etiquette skills class – you’re practically spitting on my corneas. *Wipes eyes*

You get the coasters, which are apparently meticulously decorated, including all of the chevrons, which will make your mornings nights a lot more fun. These are actually Stargate SG-1 coasters, but that’s okay, right?

Each box comes with a set of four coasters. You’ll find them at ThinkGeek and Amazon, for $24.99 (USD) and $29.06 respectively. A word of warning though: they don’t actually create wormholes, but you wouldn’t want your coffee transported to the other end of the universe just when you’re about to take a sip, would you?

The coasters are made of walnut and maple and have been finished with lacquer. Each coaster is 3.5″ on each side and about a quarter of an inch thick. Get them from Etsy seller 1337motif; $50 (USD) – or 450 Hylian Rupees – buys you a pack of six.

These Rubik’s Coasters look like slices of a real cube, but are designed to keep that drinksweat (if that’s a word) off of your tabletop. Of course if you stack these out of order, they’ll form what would probably be the world’s easiest puzzle to solve.

To me, this looks way easier than that time I tried to slice a Rubik’s Cube with a table saw, so I think it’s worth the £12.99 (~$21 USD) for a set of six over at SpinningHat.

Perfect for keeping condensation off your delicate furniture, these Invaders coasters are each handmade from lacquered wood blocks to form perfect pixels under your drinks. And while they should definitely protect your fine furnishings, there’s no guarantee that they won’t start firing their laser cannons at your cat.

Unfortunately, at $60 bucks for a set of six, these aliens are a little price. But if you just have to have every item with a Space Invader on it you probably won’t be able to resist them. You can buy the Space Invaders coasters over at ThinkGeek.

If you answered yes to any of these questions, you just might like this fun vinyl and foam soft sector coaster set from the clever folks over at supermandolini.

You can’t write protect anything to these disks, but you don’t need to worry about spilling a drink on them either (bonus).

Purchase a set of six for €27.00 (about US $40) at supermandolini.
