The Giddies!
Created by Reese James in the 60's or 70's for the Cole National Corp of Cleveland, Ohio, The Giddies are the hilarious, shag-headed, and possibly naked, drunken characters of this superbly designed set of 4 drink coasters and 4 stirrers. And while I do not condone alcohol consumption of any kind, I do adore the amazing artwork and text featured on the coasters and stirrers, as well as on the pea green box packaging-- I also noticed on google the set came in a pink version too! Lots of fun to seriously liven up any party, and hey it's the latest style-- the stirrers fit in the coaster slots as well! Also comes with a bathroom survey sheet on the back of the box!

ReplyDeleteI just knew you'd love those!
ReplyDeleteTHANKS AGAIN!!!
ReplyDeleteGiddies! I'm sure I've seen these guys all over, but a cursory examination online isn't turning up much more than what's pictured here, so I'm not sure where I would've.
ReplyDeleteI really like all the handwriting on the box, too. Excellent find!
My guess would be greeting card art from the 60's and 70's too-- love it!
ReplyDeleteI have a framed print ... "There's very few problems I can't overcome". Sitting next to a table just full of pills. classic!
