Until just recently I had never heard of a glass straw. I was initially skeptical, but the idea grew on me. I liked the idea of drinking through something that was more sophisticated than a plastic bendy straw, and of course, I immediately thought these would be fun to sip cocktails through! Why not toss a few glass straws in to your freezer to keep chilled next to your bottle of vodka?

We know that plastic is terrible for our environment. These straws are environmentally friendly. We know that plastics can lead to cancer, and yet we continue to give our kids beverages and plastic straws. These straws are free of toxins. The Glass Dharma straws are safe for children and are available in an array of widths for various beverages from smoothies to bubble teas. The straws can be used with both hot or cold beverages and are dishwasher safe.

Glass Dharma is giving one reader of The Entertaining House a voucher for $25. This voucher is good for a set of straws. Drawing will be done by Random Generator. The giveaway deadline is Monday, July 25th.
