When gas and dust come together on Earth, it’s usually a big ol’ mess. However, when the two meet up in space, it’s called a nebula. Nebulae are awesome.
ThinkGeek, with help from NASA and the Hubble telescope, has placed these far-out images on drinkware with the Nebula Glass Set. The 4-piece set includes the Veil, Butterfly, Helix and Seahorse nebulae. Earth’s “Dusty Gas Puddle” not included.
Check them out here.

Are you an astronomer or astronaut? Or, perhaps you’d really just like to drink out of Uranus? Well, The Planetary Glass Set will have you imbibing like a true space enthusiast.
The set of 10 glasses even includes the Sun [we assume for hot drinks] and the former planet of Pluto, made into a smaller shot glass. Bottoms up, astronaut.

Remember the excitement of opening up a new gift, quickly getting bored with said gift, then moving on to the infinitely more enjoyable bubble wrap packaging?
Now, as adults, we can feel nostalgic every time we drink, with Bubble Wrap Drinking Glasses. Created by artist Chris Taylor, the set of two glasses will unfortunately not pop for you. Hopefully they ship with the real stuff though.

If beer is your type of drink, then Beer Type should be in your font collection.
Brought to us by Brazilian artist Rogerio Oliveira, the typeface takes the shapes of several kinds of beer vessels, and uses them to create the negative space in the series of letters.

We’ve seen Musical Wine Glasses, capable of playing certain musical notes when filled. But those glasses covered a 12-note octave. And, when we’re drinking, who needs to be bothered with minor scales — amirite?
Major Scale Musical Wine Glasses simplify the wine glass jam session, making it much easier to play Vivaldi’s ‘Four Seasons,’ or any other music your wine buddies are into.
