Jess Laine is an SF based blogger, designer, and painter. A little while ago she ordered her first Coastermatic set, and loved them so much she decided to get a set as a Christmas present for her parents.

Yesterday, I went over Jess’s house to talk to her about the set she was making and how she decided what photos to use.



“My parents love Lois, my french bulldog. They send her cards and presents all the time. Making coasters of their favorite grand-dog makes perfect sense,” Jess said.

Like many dog lovers, Jess has a lot of Lois photos. Choosing just 4 can make for a particularly daunting task. To help with her selection, Jess decided to pick a theme for her set.



“I have so many photos of Lois, I’m focusing on ‘Lois at the Beach’ as a theme to keep things organized. She loves it there and Ocean Beach is beautiful. In the future, I’ll probably make a ‘Lois in bed’ set, ‘Lois with Jess’ set, and maybe a set of ‘Lois on the sofa’.”



Looking for the perfect Christmas gift? Take Jess’s lead: decide on a theme and start your set!
