1. Wine Glasses by MyGlassMonkey

Two of my favorite things: a cold glass of Cupcake Vineyards’ Chardonnay and my cat Romeo. This gift combines my two loves into one fabulous Kitty Cat Happy Hour. I’d have this wine glass at the top of my list if I didn’t already have one. Ahem.

This Etsy artist, MyGlassMonkey, paints on other beverage vessels too. She treats them so they’re washable ÔÇô- and usable. I wonder if anyone has asked her to do a shot glass with a cat’s face painted on it? Maybe I do have something to add to my list after all.

Price: $10
