Why You Should Use Acrylic Glassware
April 22, 2009 by Susan Denny
Wine glasses are designed specifically for wine connoisseurs to take advantage of all of wine’s unique characteristics. The design of the wine glass is meant to bring out the wine’s aroma, flavour and other characteristics.
Glass wine glasses are not meant to be enjoyed by the pool or at a picnic, and if you have kids or an overactive dog, then glass wine glasses are simply not for you.
So rather than glass, in those situations you should use Acrylic wine glasses like my Fun LED wine glasses, which can also be used for cocktails.
Acrylic wine glasses come in the same shapes and sizes as their glass counterparts, but they are made of a thicker material known as Polystyrene Acrylic. It is more durable than glass and they tend to be cheaper, which makes them more expendable should you want to take them with you into a public area.
But what makes the Acrylic wine glasses most useful is for households with small children or pets. Polystyrene Acrylic does not shatter when dropped. Instead, it breaks into large, dull pieces – with no sharp chips or dull edges that threaten to risk injury to a small child. Fun LED Glassware is the best and safest choice for your home.
Acrylic wine glasses are as aesthetically pleasing as the glass alternatives, as easy to clean (scratches can be removed by simply wiping down the glass or the tops can be placed in the dishwasher for ease of washing) and come in the same shapes and sizes as standard wine glasses. They also have the same visibility levels, so your wine will look equally as delicious through either glass, with Acrylic the safer alternative.
As well as wine glasses, Fun LED Glassware also has Margarita, Martini and Shot Glasses.
Business Mixed With Friendship
April 13, 2009 by Susan Denny
Have you ever wondered what your life would be without friends?
You’d probably survive okay, but to have a true friend who you can count on when you need them can sometimes be hard to find.
My husband and I are lucky enough to have a former work colleague and his wife as great friends.
He’s a rum exporter and is bringing into Australia, some previously unknown rums from the Caribbean, Martinique and the Mascarene Islands east of Madagascar. His company is called Quittin’ Time.
He has flavoured rums and rum punches as well as some aged specialty rums.
Because of our close association, we are agents for his rums and we also sell Fun LED Glassware and in the range we have Wine/Cocktail, Margarita and Martini glasses.
The glasses are made from high quality polystyrene acrylic with a stainless steel threaded grommet, and have an “exclusive” champagne bubble design stem, which is 12mm in diameter.
Non-slip and mark resistant rubber edged plastic base, CE certified EMC compliance and “Swap-A-Top” design.
Each glass has a button underneath the base which can be pressed to change the colours to either red, blue, green, purple, aqua, yellow and pale blue and a rotation of all colours automatically.
The top of the glasses can be removed for easy washing in your dishwasher.
The button batteries are replaceable.
We also have at Fun LED Glassware Shot Glasses and as soon as you add liquid the glasses start to flash.
Each box contains 12 clear coloured LED flashing red, green and blue shot glasses 75mm height x 37mm diameter, made from high quality polystyrene acrylic. The base has a gold band.
Each glass has a non-replacable button battery.
To find out more about the rums go to www.quittintime.com.au and for pricing and ordering information on the glasses go to www.funledglassware.com
Perfect Easter Gift
March 16, 2009 by Susan Denny
Are you tired of receiving just easter eggs on their own as an Easter gift?
Why not try something different and give a gift of a Fun LED Wine, Margarita or Martini glass filled with mini easter eggs?
At least you’ll be left with something tangible after you’ve eaten the eggs!
Do you know the legend of easter eggs? This is one theory:
Easter eggs are specially decorated eggs given to celebrate the Easter holiday or springtime.
The egg was a symbol of the rebirth of the earth in Pagan celebrations of spring and was adopted by early Christians as a symbol of the rebirth.
The oldest tradition is to use dyed or painted chicken eggs, but a modern custom is to substitute chocolate eggs, or plastic eggs filled with confectionery such as jellybeans. These eggs are often hidden, allegedly by the Easter Bunny, for good children to find on Easter morning. Otherwise, they are generally put in a basket filled with real or artificial straw to resemble a bird’s nest.
So, why not fill your Fun LED Glassware with straw or strips of paper to resemble a bird’s nest, and cover with chocolate eggs. It would make a very unique gift for that special person!

Party In A Glass
January 14, 2009 by Susan Denny
Have you ever gone to a party and thought it was a bit dull? I know I have and couldn’t wait for the evening to end.
I’d go home wondering why it was so dull and the answer I always came up with was that there was no atmosphere. It was just dull and boring.
I wondered what I could do to liven up the party and I came up with the solution…”Party In A Glass”! What a novel idea! It’s certainly a great way to get people talking.
The idea is to mix up your favourite drink or cocktail and pour it into a light up flashing wine/cocktail or martini glass. As my business is Fun LED Glassware, I have the perfect party starter! The room will become a sea of colour and just watch as people start smiling.
Some people need coaxing out of their shell, so by handing them their drink in say a martini glass which flashes, they’ll immediately start asking questions and set the ball rolling.
My business, Fun LED Glassware is all about having FUN, so the next time you’re planning a party, why not serve your drinks in glasses which will start the conversation rolling? It’s a great way to get people interacting with each other and will make your party a huge success!
2009 – The New Year Is Almost Upon Us
November 17, 2008 by Susan Denny
Did you know that 2009 will be welcomed in just over 6 weeks from now?
This year has absolutely flown by and the New Year is fast approaching.
How will you celebrate New Year’s Eve? Will you go to a swish hotel, an intimate restaurant or will you be among thousands of people all enjoying the festivities together?
Whichever way you choose to celebrate it, do it in style with a drink in your Fun LED Glassware Cocktail, Martini or Shot Glass. It’s a fun night anyway, so why not add more colour by drinking out of a light up flashing glass. It will certainly put you in the mood for a party.
Imagine being on a boat out in the harbour with you and your party guests sharing a drink using your LED light up glasses. You will definitely be noticed by other passing craft and spectators on the shoreline. What a great way to welcome in the New year.
Fun LED Glassware is all about having fun, and welcoming in 2009 with glasses which will enhance the celebration is the only way to party!
Happy New Year 2009!
Are You Prepared For Xmas?
October 27, 2008 by Susan Denny
I don’t know about you but I get very nervous when I see Xmas decorations in the shopping centres already and it’s not even November yet!
I haven’t even thought about Xmas shopping, but I know that I’ll be thrust into it before I know it. As for buying presents for my family, well that just gets harder every year. I mean, what do you get someone who has everything? I struggle with this every year and spend hours wandering around the shops hoping for some inspiration.
An idea I’ve come up with is to give them a bottle of the best flavoured rum in the world, which is supplied by Quittin’ Time in Australia, and adding a couple of my LED Cocktail and Martini Glasses. I could also make up a gift basket with a bottle of the flavoured rum and 6 LED Shot Glasses.
I’m in the business of having FUN so these 2 ideas will make great Xmas presents. As soon as the glasses light-up, the atmosphere will change. There’ll be plenty of smiles going around.
If you’re stuck for an ideal Xmas gift, why not consider my range of Fun LED Glassware as well as the flavoured rums from Quittin’ Time!
The “Silly Season” Is Almost Here
October 20, 2008 by Susan Denny
By now you’ve probably booked a venue for your Xmas party seeing as you have to book so early!
Xmas parties are wonderful for celebrating the end of a long year and what better way than to have a celebration drink out of your Fun LED Cocktail, Martini or Shot Glass. A year is a long time in your working life and it seems that as soon as the end of the year festivities begin, you can immediately feel a sense of relief and start to relax your mind. Make it a time to remember and relax with family and friends.
Maybe you’ve decided to take leave at this time, which is an even better reason to relax and unwind from the stresses of the passing year. Go to the beach or take a hike through a rainforest, whatever it takes for you to forget all about work.
Xmas is a time of sharing gifts with your family and friends, so why not give a gift which will last them for many years to come. Give them a Fun LED Glass and have it engraved so that they can remember how much fun they had on that special day.
Whatever you decide to do over Xmas, just remember one thing. Have fun!
Looking Forward To Summer!
October 17, 2008 by Susan Denny
It’s already Spring here in the Southern hemisphere and I’m really looking forward to the beautiful sunny days and the warm, balmy nights.
The weather in Queensland is very good all year round but Summer is very hot and humid and I seem to have an unquenchable thirst.
This is when I get most use out of my Fun LED Glassware. The days and nights are perfect for getting together with family and friends sharing some fantastic cocktails. There are so many to choose from I don’t know where to start.
One of my favourite things to do is sit by my pool and sip either a refreshing cocktail or a martini in my Fun LED Martini glass. At night it’s really spectacular watching the glasses change colour in the dark.
To finish the night off I love a shot of lime flavoured rum in my Fun LED Shot glasses. What a colourful way to spend a day!
I’ve put together a list of delicious cocktails which are sent to you weekly. If you’d like to subscribe please submit your details below.
