Slate Coaster - Gaming Levels

Bring a hit of nostalgia to your coffee table with this set of 4 engraved slate coasters inspired by classic 8-bit arcade games. Each coaster represents a different “level” in your day – from fresh-start Level 1 right through to the final “Game Over” - complete with pixel-style spaceship, retro aliens and life icons. It’s a fun, geeky way to protect your surfaces while celebrating your love for old-school gaming.

Whether you’re shopping for a gamer dad, a retro-loving friend, or kitting out your own games room, this coaster set makes a brilliant talking point. Pair it with one of the optional holders – in natural wood or sleek 3D printed plastic – for a practical and stylish gift that looks perfect on a coffee table, desk or gaming station.

Customise Your Coaster Set

Each set includes four square slate coasters, engraved with a different “stage” of the game:

• Level 1 – Spaceship fights aliens with 3 lives left
• Level 2 – Spaceship fights aliens with 2 lives left
• Level 3 – Spaceship fights aliens with 1 life left
• Level 4 – Game Over with no lives left

You can keep the default level designs as they are for a ready-made gift, or contact us if you’d like to discuss small tweaks to suit your occasion or recipient.

Optional Holders – Wooden or 3D Printed
To complete the set, you can add an optional holder designed to keep the coasters neatly stacked and display-ready:

• Wooden Holder – A natural, warm-looking stand that pairs beautifully with the rustic slate. Each piece of wood has its own grain pattern, so every holder is slightly unique.
• 3D Printed Holder – A modern, clean-lined stand, ideal for gaming setups and desks. Printed in a durable plastic with a smooth finish, perfect for a more contemporary look.

Both holder styles are designed to fit four coasters comfortably, keeping them tidy and easy to grab between rounds of your favourite game.

Personalise with Engraved Text
Make your gift truly one-of-a-kind by adding a personalised engraving to the holder.

You can add:
• A name or gamer tag (e.g. “Player One – Alex”)
• A short message (e.g. “Level Up Your Coffee Break”)
• A special date (e.g. birthday, anniversary or graduation)

Your chosen text will be engraved on the holder, turning a fun coaster set into a keepsake that celebrates the gamer in your life.
