Nothing Like It, and I LOVE It
I get all kinds of requests for reviewing children’s products, but rarely do I get to review fun stuff just because they’re fun. And that makes Mama happy. I love me some kiddie stuff, but I like quirky stuff just for me, too.
And I love Robin at Nothing Like It for sending my my own crazy critter coasters to brighten up my messy house. She sent my own flavor from our home state of Florida - a pink flamingo coaster!
Robin creates her art from polymer (I don’t know what it is either) and is the perfect addition to any quirky household (like mine). Who doesn’t want a squished cartoon animal sitting on their end table ready to support a beer glass? If you don’t, then check out her magnet mini critters or doll creations. Personally, giving one of these silly pieces of art say something about your crazy self. (It says, “I’m silly, and so can you!”)
The best thing about Robin’s Nothing Like It Etsy store is she will custom create just about anything you can imagine just for you or your giftee. Dream it, and she’ll make it. (I’m considering having her create a penguin and elephant for my girls.)
Discount
She’s also offering a 10% discount* to Mamas Like readers now through September 19th.
Giveaway
For our readers only, Robin is giving away one of her ‘A Flat Cow Critter Coasters’ (value of $18). To win the cow, visit Nothing Like It and comment below with your favorite Nothing Like It character AND a suggestion for a coaster she has not made yet (she loves new ideas!). (Sorry, but if your comment does not include the name of a Nothing Like It product, you cannot win.) One comment per person, per day - come back daily for your chance to win! Comments are open until Tuesday, September 9th, 11:59pm EST. The winner will be posted here on MamasLike, notified via email, and on Prizey.Fetch.
*Etsy stores do not have the abilities to use coupon codes in their checkout. To redeem your 10% off discount, enter “MAMAMIA” in the “Notes to Seller” upon checkout and wait for a revised invoice that reflects the discount before you complete your payment. It sounds confusing, but trust me - it’s worth it.
I love Emily the flat vampire coaster, glow in the dark looks spooky!
I love Croak - The Flat Frog Coaster!!!
For suggestions I’d say a flattened possum and skunk would be fun! They’d be sure in a guy’s hunting cabin, or fun gag gifts for the friend who’s always hitting things and leaving the roadsides full of flattened vermin…
Ooo, the vampire one is pretty cool, I like glow in the dark stuff, but I think “Flush Me The Flat Goldfish Critter Coaster” is my favorite.
There isn’t a turtle one! That would be cute. I also like the roadkill idea of Erica M. That would be funny.
Croak - The Flat Frog Coaster is my favorite.
My suggestion would a beer can or whiskey bottle or what about a mouse.
I like the The Flat Giraffe SUPER Critter Coaster-very cute!
I think a flat sheep would be cute, too
OH. My. I love all of your stuff.
Croak - The Flat Frog Coaster is my fav. but they are all so cute..
What about a flat armadillo? Thats the way I always see em’ anyway..lol.

I love the giraffe! Waaayyyy too cute. My suggestion would be a mouse. This comes to mind because my mother collects all things ‘mouse/mice’ (except the real ones . . . thank goodness).
Thanks for the chance to win!

HOW ADORABLE!!!!! Thank you for the link to the site. I have a few holiday gift ideas.
I love the Rudolph the Flat Christmas Critter Coaster. LOL!!! ADORABLE!
What about a flat mouse? Or flat zoo critters like a giraffe, hippo, lion, tiger…
Or what about flat people? Like professions?
LOVE IT!!
Thanks for a fun giveaway!
I like Rudolph! What about a rabbit, maybe the Easter bunny?
Croak-The Flat Frog Coaster is adorable! Love the eyes!
Robin is awesomely talented!
Anjanette’s last blog post..I’m a lover of easy meals!
Oh my gosh, these are so cute and funny! I like the Flat Giraffe.
Ideas: What about doing college mascots or local school mascots. Like Bucky Badger for us WI fans, that would be cute.
Thanks for the chance to win!
It’s not Nemo! That’s hilarious. What a fun thing to have on an office work desk.
Courtney’s last blog post..Zuccini on steroids
Ha! I love the Emily The Flat Vampire Coaster. How about making a flattened possum coaster? You could do a roadkill series, since you already have the frog.
Thank you for offering this fun giveaway!
Beeb Ashcroft’s last blog post..First shopping trips of the month - September 1st and 2nd
Super cute! I like “flush me the flat goldfish critter coaster” I’d like to see a elephant too or a polar bear, or a duck!
My favorite is Emily The Flat Vampire Coaster. I really like the glow in the dark. She should add to the Halloween themed coasters. You have a witch, but how a black cat or a bat or spider.
Thanks for the giveaway.
I’m a big fan of vampires, so I love that one!
As for something new….a horse maybe? That would be cool and I’m sure my aunt would love it!

Lauren’s last blog post..Huge Giveaway: Winner
Ok - these are too cute! I love the giraffe, since I always dring out of a 32 oz tumbler.
As for ideas…I looked through her sold section and love the elephant and all of the other cool things there. Glad to know she can remake these as custom orders!
New ideas could include a pelican, hippo, turkey (for Thanksgiving!), favorite teacher mug, etc…
I really like the flat frog coaster. We have lots of frogs in out house.
The Emily The Flat Vampire Coaster is so cool!
Ginny’s last blog post..Let’s Eat Blog Trip
I liked The Not So Wicked Witch. A mandrill with all its bright blues and red would be a nice edition.
I love Red the Flat Doggie. Maybe she could try a flat horse- that would be funny. Thanks!
love nemo, they are all funny. Maybe more bears, koala,polar, or an octopus, maybe I missed it and there needs to be a selection of dogs and cats but breeds…how about a ferret and a hamster? or a gerbil..a rat?
I really like the giraffe. I think an armadillo or a cowboy would look neat flattened.
I love the Mini Moo The Tiny Flat Cow Critter Magnet! Maybe you can do grandma squished as in grandma got run over by a reindeer.
Shilo Beedy’s last blog post..Contest
I loved the “stressed out the flat geek” coaster. I would love to see a bunny for easter?
Thanks for the great giveaway!
The Ernie the Flat Elf Christmas Coaster is super cute.
I love them all - especially Jinx, the black cat. I have a GREAT idea for new things. Dinosaurs! - you could have a flat T-rex and call him DO YOU THINK HE SAURUS? (Saw us). - My son is a dino fan - so I give him all the credit. What a great contest.
I like the flat giraffe, one of my favourite animals. _ My idea would be to do a seires of professionals, like doctors, nurses, all flat out, worked to death!! -that would be a good seller. I am a nurse and we always look for quirky thinks to buy.
I love Croak, the flat frog. I laughed out loud on these! Fits my sense of humor exactly. Can you make a squished piggy? My daughter would love it! Pigs are her favorites. A skunk would be funny too, but maybe only to me. How about a snake? ooo, could you do a series of squished quadrapeds but belly-up? legs waving in the air?
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the Flat Giraffe! He just looks so startled:) I think a really adorable one would be a monkey. I know my kids would get a kick out of that! This is such a neat idea. I’m glad I found this site.
The cow is adorable. I also really love the flat elfs. I’d love to see a flat Mr. and Mrs. Claus.
Noah’s last blog post..Laura’s Post on Obama and Abortion
I really like the The Flat Giraffe SUPER Critter Coaster. What about an octopus? It would be really cool to see all those crazy arms!
I like “Red the Flat Doggie”.
We have a turtle named Jenny; I’d love a Jennie coaster!
Oh my goodness! I didn’t expect to see such detailed work! I suppose my favorite would have to be the Not SO Wicked Flat Witch coaster although that Stressed Out Geek guy would be perfect for Mr. Man’s desk.
How ’bout a Smashed flat Ballerina ?
All things ballerina are good.
mannequin’s last blog post..Lucky me Beads giveaway
OH BOY
The Flat frog is my favorite.
love the nemo, and just saw santa- very very creative ideas–how about a squished husband or a mom/wife
Ohhh in her sold, I love the Hamster and theres a Star Wars Character I loved! And how about a cartoony mouse/rat with big ears!
http://www.tagsandbuttons.etsy.com
I love her store. I posted one of her items on my blog a few days ago. My favorite is the Stressed Out Flat Geek Coaster. I would love to see her do professions like nurse, doctor, teacher, that sort of think. It would probably sell really well. It would make a great gift around the holidays!

The cow is very cute, but I also like “I’m not Nemo the clownfish critter”
I feel like I should say the cow, because my aunt is super obsessed with them, but my family would love the “The Flat Giraffe SUPER Critter Coaster”, it’s just too cute! Thanks!
I LOVE the flat frog coaster - how cute is he? I would love to see some flat kitties coasters - think of the possibilities (siamese, orange tabby, black/grey tabby, etc.)
I love Flush Me, the Flat Goldfish! We have a fish that looks just like it. As for a suggestion, I can’t believe she hasn’t yet made any Flat Cats: it’s high time. Thanks!
I REALLY like the dog with his tongue hanging out and the goldfish that looks like Nemo. TOO CUTE! I think a turtle would be adorable…that is my favorite animal since we had some red-eared slider turtles in a tank in our house up until a couple of years ago when we decided to have kids!!! I miss my turtles, and this would be a way to remember them!
These are SO CUTE and very creative. I would forever be in debt to you if I won one of these!
Thanks,
Andrea R.
