Place hot mugs on top of these coasters, and the warmth will slowly release the aroma of coffee, chocolate, vanilla, mince pie, lemon meringue pie, or sticky toffee pudding. If you're like me, you'll want to eat the coasters, but if you can delay gratification, there are recipes on the back of the package. I like the design on the sticky toffee pudding coasters, which is the same on the front and back.

Made by Jomoke and available at U.K. online store Lazybone (£21.99 for three packets of six coasters each).
