Clean, Beautiful, Sturdy
I had done a lot of searching for some nice glass stir sticks that would be elegant but fun for mixed drinks. Honestly, i hesitated on these because of the fairly steep price. However, I liked that these were made by an artisan in the US and understand that true craftsmanship can be expensive. I decided to go ahead and order one set.<br /><br />I got them sooner than expected, and they were packed so well (each individual stick wrapped in enough bubble wrap and tape to survive just about any shipping hazard) that each stir stick was in perfect condition. I liked that because after spending a nice chunk of change on stir sticks the last thing you want is to worry about the hassle of sending back or replacing broken items, which is always a risk with glass.<br /><br />The stir sticks that I received are true to the colors in the Amazon photos. They are beautiful and surprisingly sturdy. No chips, cracks, or imperfections. I have used three of them, and they stood up easily to mixing ice and liquid. I even used the ball of one to gently muddle some herbs - it worked great. I plan on trying some of the other colors for myself and for fun gifts for friends and family.
