Wife Approved
I've been with my wife for more than 18 years now, and finding her a gift that she would both use and love has become a challenge as time goes on. So I was looking for a customizable gift and stumbled across this wonderful decanter and glasses set. For us, who have an established bar area in our home, this is perfect since we don't need coasters or any other such thing; just a decanter and glasses.<br /><br />I had them engraved with the favorite endearment I use for my wife and, upon seeing the set she immediately asked, "where's the ones with your name on it?" So I will be purchasing another set after the new year.<br /><br />The Product Itself<br /><br />The rocks glasses are nice and thick and I like how they feel in my hand, but I can see that others might be put off by the tapered design, especially if your hands are wet when you handle them. The etching on the glass looks light when the glass is empty (easy to see, but a bit ephemeral) but it really pops with any colored liquid.<br /><br />The decanter is robust without being too heavy and easy to grasp and control. The stopper is glass with a plastic sheath, but the neck of the decanter itself is textured and it fits snugly without sticking. Again, the engraving looks really good with my wife's favorite cognac in it and as a piece of eye candy it's quite nice.<br /><br />As an added bonus to me, LyonCraft are an Oregon company and I always support local artists and artisans whenever I can.
