Colour Palette Coasters: Unique and colourful gifts for under £5

I have a theory that you can never have too many coasters. Mainly because whenever I need one, somebody has moved it.

The Colour Palette Coaster takes one of our six-colour designs and turns it into a small, useful piece of colour for your desk, coffee table, bedside table or wherever your mug tends to follow you around.

I started The Colour Palette Company because I love looking at places, taking photographs and finding the colours and stories hidden in everyday things. Our coasters are probably the simplest way to own one of those designs. Six colours, six stories and a little reminder of somewhere or something that means something to you.

They also make particularly good small gifts under £5. If you’re searching for an affordable gift, Secret Santa present, stocking filler, teacher gift, thank you gift, small housewarming present or little gift for a friend, this is one of those useful presents that doesn’t feel like something you grabbed at the last minute.

Choose someone’s home city. Their favourite place. Somewhere you visited together. Or simply a Colour Palette that makes you think of them.

They’re also perfect for building your own little collection. One for your tea. One for your coffee. One for the person who puts their mug directly on the table despite the coaster being approximately three inches away.

At 10cm square, they’re cork-backed, easy to wipe clean and made for everyday use. They’re also proudly produced in the UK.

A small gift. A useful gift. And a lot of colour for under £5.
