Dexter Blood Spattered Coasters are Violently Stylish

— December 15, 2011 — Lifestyle
Fans of the popular TV show Dexter will love the Dexter Blood Spattered Coasters as they bring a murderous look to the coffee table.

The Dexter Blood Spattered Coasters reflect the serial killer's homicidal rage thanks to a design that has sociopath written all over it. The cup placers are constructed with sturdy, clear acrylic and rubberized feet so that they avoid scratching a tabletop. Then of course, the surface of these coasters boats a spattered blood pattern as a nod to Dexter himself. They even come packaged in a box that the character uses in the show to keep samples of his victims' blood.

The Dexter Blood Spattered Coasters will make an interesting piece on the table -- just make sure to tell your guests that the blood is fake.
