There were drinks aplenty throughout the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings stories, often enjoyed by Hobbits Merry and Pippin, but many other characters were also seen whetting their whistles with one drink or another. But did any of them ever consider protecting the surfaces they set their glasses on? I highly doubt it.
If, however, you are like me and you care a great deal about preventing rings on wood when using a mug or glass then you already know that you need to use a coaster. But not just any coaster will do. Reach for one of the many Lord of the Rings coasters that are available.
There are a wide variety of coasters from a lot of different sources. Some are officially licensed, others are custom made, but they all have one thing in common: they are all inspired by either The Hobbit or Lord Of The Rings.
