Anyone choosing to use these [drink coasters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polka-coffee-table) certainly isn't afraid of showing off a little coastal pride.

Pick a side between the East or West with these wooden 'Coast Coasters' shaped like either side of the United States of America. Made in America from baltic birch wood, each coastal pride drink accessory comes in a set of four and is packaged with an appropriately American-themed [red and blue elastic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/red-white-blue-cocktail-pack) to help keep the complete set together when not in use.

Each of these speciality coasters has also been treated with a moisture-resistant finish to help keep them intact, so you won't need to worry if you spill your drink while arguing over which side of the seaboard is best
