It seems the Whiskey stone cubes are every where these days, so someone has upped the ante a little bit with stone glasses. Not sure I would get these though. With the stones, you can pop them in a glass, and still hold the glass. With these, it seems it would be like actually holding an ice cube. However, if you're just using them as shot glasses, you could just pop them out the freezer, pour, do the shot, and back into the freezer they go. Though $40 for 4 of them seems a little steep for that. Still, they are cool.
Here's the details about it from the site:
Between A Rock And A Hard Drink
Cooler than cubes, these soapstone shooters offer a new way to chill spirits without the wait (or the ice). Leave a set in the freezer for at least 4 hours before entertaining for smooth shots of vodka or any sips of your favorite spirits.
You can grab them over at the Uncommongoods site by clicking HERE.

Pretty simple idea. Take a bottle, cut it down, make it into a glass. Fantastic idea, and I"ll be buying some. Here's the details:
All BottleHood glassware is created from wine, liquor, and water bottles from local San Diego restaurants, bars and events.
BottleHood uses local craftspeople to turn the bottles into great looking glassware, sold by local retailers back into our community.
Bottlehood’s glassware has a significantly lower carbon footprint as compared to recycled or landfilled bottles. A glass bottle takes more than 4000 years to decompose in a landfill!
It's simple, BottleHood is good for our neighborhoods!

The bottles come in a large variety, start at about $10 a glass, so go check them out.

I normally just like Scotch in a short glass, but these are quite a bit more stylish. Here's the blurb from the site:
The Glencairn glass was designed with one purpose – to significantly enhance your single malt scotch. The unique and stylish shape is crafted with a tapering mouth for easy drinking that allows you to capture aromas like never before. The bowl is wide to give you a fuller appreciation of the whiskey’s color and the solid base is easy on the hand.
Unlike the other single malt scotch glasses out there, this one takes your very best whiskeys and makes them even more enjoyable. Cheers to that!
Features
- Made of glass
- Unique and stylish shape
- Tapering mouth for easy drinking and enhanced aromas
- Wide bowl for color appreciation
- Easy to grip design
Specs
- Dimensions: 2 3/4”W x 4 1/2”H
- Capacity: 6.75 oz
They're a little on the expensive side at $8.95 a glass, and you have to buy at least six or more. You can check it out HERE.

This is a great looking set. Really too expensive to bother with, but if you have the money, you should pick a few up. You get a set of two lowball tumblers crafted from hand-blown clear crystal cased in black crystal, detailed with a hand-cut skull-and-crossbones motif.
A set of two costs an impressive $295, and you can check them out HERE.

There's been everything from beer mugs to martini glasses made like this, but these are the first cool shot glasses I've seen.
Here's the write up from the Sirtified website:
The next time you plan to party make sure you’re well armed. Our Bombs Away shot glasses are guaranteed to make it a blow-out! They’re made from high-quality double-walled borosilicate glass with a frosted interior finish. Dashingly dangerous. Packed two glasses in a handsome illustrated giftbox.
The shot glasses should be available at the site soon HERE.

If you're any kind of Simpsons fan, this is probably a must have. Even if you're not, it's still pretty cool.
The set comes with a flask that has a great toast on it, saying "To Alcohol! The cause and solution to all of life's problems". It also comes with four shot glasses, each with a Homer facial expression on the front and a famous Homer phrase on the back.
The only problem here is that the site is sold out at the moment, and you might have to jump through some hoops to get it shipped to you from the UK when it's back in stock.
You can check out the UK site HERE.
Let me know if there's anywhere in the U.S. that might sell this.

This is an excellent idea. Here's the details from the site:
This pitcher has a steel chamber that holds ice to keep the contents cold at all times. Load the ice chamber up from the bottom, fill the pitcher, and the liquid in the pitcher will be kept cold! You can also fill the cooling cylinder with water and freeze the entire pitcher! Holds 60-ounces.
The pitcher costs $20, which seems like a pretty good price. You can pick up one HERE.

This from the Pottery Barn of all places:

There are three glasses, a Pilsner, Double Old-Fashioned and Beer Mug, and a bowl that you can buy. The glasses are $19 to $24 each, and the bowl is $39.

There's been several of these floating around, such as the InsideOut martini glass (HERE) and the champagne version (HERE), but it's still a great idea.
In case you can't tell from the picture, the Hopside Down beer glass looks like the top half of an upside down beer bottle when filled. Not only does this give it a cool look, but it has an added bonus in that the glass is double walled, which adds some insulation between your hand and the beer. This allows your hand to stay warmer, and the beer to stay colder, which is always a good thing.
The glasses are $18 a piece, but according to the Sirtified site they're hand-blown, hence the extra cost. Another downside right this second is that they're very popular, and are currently back logged until May.
If you do want to buy a few though, and don't mind the wait, you can grab one over at the Sirtified site HERE.

You should always have some shot glasses around the house. Even if you don't think you're ever going to use them, it's just a good idea.
If you're looking for a cool set, these Animal themed shot glasses would be worth getting. Here's a little bit of info about them from the site:
Shot glasses for the passionate animal lover… or the avid hunter. Either way, the Animal Shot Glasses are made of black glass and balance atop the head of either a bear, bull, deer, moose or rhinoceros.
They're a little on the expensive side, at $54 for a set of two of them, but if you're interested you can buy a couple of them HERE.
