Remember when I posted my Top 5 Gone for a RUN gift ideas, HERE?
Originally, the post was supposed to be a review of their amazing Bib Coasters, which I got to give to my brother as a christmas gift. Then I found out he read my blog... so I waited until after christmas to share his awesome gift.
I love all Gone for a RUN goodies, so when the Bib Coasters caught my eye, I was obsessed! It seemed like the perfect way to commemorate a memorable race bib in a functional way. Plus it would make for an excellent conversation starter/bragging tool. I started thinking about how I couldn't wait to get my Disney Marathon bib turned into coasters after I ran.
Then, as I started thinking of christmas gifts, I just knew that my brother would love it to show off to friends/remind him of how awesome he is for finishing his first marathon. With a little help from his girlfriend to secure a photo of the Hartford Marathon Race Bib (Read about my brother's journey to the marathon HERE), I emailed it to the folks at Gone for a RUN & waited for it to arrive!

| my brother's bib in coasters! |
The coasters are 4 separate 4x4 marble squares with a high quality print of your bib on the front. Arrange them like a puzzle, or spread the love and share them around the house to prevent rings on the wood tables. The back of the coasters is made from cork to protect your furniture. I love that they look slightly distressed with the natural crack or contoured surface of the marble underneath the print.
My brother loved the coasters!

I also ordered him a Gone for a RUN ornament, that I had personalized with his Hartford Marathon time. I wish I had remembered to get a picture of his, but here it is on the website.

next on my list? A charm for my pandora... maybe
Definitely head over to Gone for a RUN to do a little shopping for yourself or for a gift. I guarantee you will NOT be disappointed!
