My friend and her beau are finally getting ready to tie the knot. They’ve registered and scanned every item they could get their hands on – but I’m skipping all of those items. I’ll let everyone else purchase those boring items such as his & hers monogramed towels, comforters and sheet sets – they can have at it!

I want to give my friend a gift that she can enjoy on her wedding day (and night) and then display for years to come as a reminder of her beautiful day.

Towels and sheets will get tossed eventually, but this beautiful Asta Hawaiian Bridge and Groom Wedding Champagne Set will be around for years to come.

She and her husband will share their first toast together as husband and wife with these hand painted and etched champagne glasses. I can just picture her standing there in her beautiful dress (that I helped pick out by the way) holding up my gift for a toast that she will remember for the rest of her life.

Yes, I’ve found the perfect gift for the perfect couple. The search is over. Cheers!

Host a carefully planned and well-organized Chocolate theme martini party, using these tips and your guest talk about this event for years to come. Keep in mind that this is just a starter list, add to it or pick and choose which items you’d prefer.

And remember, order your Chocolate Martini Glasses early while supplies last before these glasses retire.

I went to a party one night. I sat my martini on the table for just a moment so I could answer a text message.  I turned around for two seconds and when I turned back around there were two glasses on the table.  I didn’t know which one was mine because they were the exact same glass.

I could either take a chance, and catch a case of mono (or worse) or I could just let it go. I passed on the mono and went to get another drink. On my way to the bar, two women passed me with the most unique martini glasses in hand. One had pretty pink ribbons all over it and the other had shopping bags and shoes.  They were gorgeous.  I had to know where they came from.

The women told me they were Lolita martini glasses and they’d brought them from home because they hate losing drinks. I sighed, thinking about my lost drink. So I learned the hard way, but here’s how you keep track of your drink: Find some unique martini glasses. Lolita makes the most stunning glasses with the most unique designs. That way next time you sit your drink down you won’t have to worry, you’ll know it’s your because no one else at the party has a colorful glass like it.

A little over a year ago, during a housewarming party at a friends house, I experienced my first taste. When my friend brought out the wine for a toast, she handed out the most exquisite wine glasses that I had ever seen. I was so busy checking out the hand painted Little Black Dress on mine and colorful stilettos on another wine glass, that I almost missed the toast.

Yeah, the wine was good, but the glasses had my total and complete attention – I wanted to know where she got them, because I had to have one. That’s when I was officially introduced to Lolita - Lolita glassware, that is, and we’ve been friends ever since.

She told me that these glasses were special because they only make a limited amount of each design and each glass comes with its own wine recipe on the bottom.

So the next day, I set out on a mission to find some Lolita glasses of my own. I discovered that stores carried only limited supplies of certain glasses. I began to get a little disappointed because I wanted the Shopaholic glass like the one I’d drank from the night before. Sadly, I went home empty-handed.

Of course, I’m too persistent to let it go, so I got on the internet and searched and searched…I was excited to discover Lolita martini and margarita glasses. I almost broke my office chair when I found it…my favorite – Lolita Shopaholic Martini Glass.

Ever since then, I decided that everyone should be able to get Lolita glassware whenever they want, so I’ve devoted this site to bringing you every kind of wine glass, margarita glass, and of course martini glass that you could ever think of.

It’s official everyone – Hi, my name is Tee and I’m a Wine and Martini Glass -aholic. (In the audience everyone says, “Hi, Tee.”)

Here you will find some of the most unique martini glasses, wine glasses, champagne glasses and more.
