Doilies, the traditional and ladylike tableware, have gotten an extreme makeover from Always Fits. The company, who is selling some controversial outspoken coasters, is gaining social media attention for its hilarious table accessories.
With statements most people’s grandmother would find appalling, including “Even Skanks Say Thanks,” and, “Be Considerate, Bitches,” these are a new-school take on decorum. The sayings, though definitely shocking, do reflect some understandable sentiments. The design of the coasters is simple and minimalist, reminiscent of the ubiquitous and ever-popular “Keep Calm” posters. A nice mash-up between classic and cutting-edge, the table protectors are a hilarious product only for the most daring hosts.
A cheeky and surprisingly beautiful set of tableware, these outspoken coasters are a funny way to spice up meals. A great hostess gift, though important to keep the recipient in mind, these are a funny update to traditional doilies.
