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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polka-coffee-table).

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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crochet-collection).
