It must seem like a lifetime since we last used floppy disks. If you are nostalgic for these now-quaint geeky products, try the Floppy Disk Coaster Set. The vibrantly colored coasters are also environmentally friendly, as they are made from eco-spun felt, which in turn is made from recycled plastic bottles. The set of four comes with a repurposed Minikas-Ette Library Case for storage and display. Inside is a used CD which makes the coasters more durable.
Etsy artisan The Geekery makes them in red, yellow, green, blue, and black.
