Gift guide: Koozies from PDX Softgoods
Posted by Sunset, December 2, 2008 in I need it

Koozies1Hate sweaty cans? Love chilly beverages? You can't go wrong with these adorable koozies from PDX Softgoods.

A set of six ($30) is a fine gift for you favorite beer connoisseur (or Diet Coke fiend). They're the perfect accessory  for lounging outside on a sunny afternoon, which sometimes happens even in early December if you're reading this in California. (Elsewhere? Just envision your sunny afternoon. Make it warm and glowy in your mind.)

If you're purchasing for a beer lover — with a handy streak — we recommend pairing the Fix It With Tools set with a six-pack of Oskar Blues Ten Fidy imperial stout, a satisfyingly rich winter brew from Lyons, Colo., or 21st Amendment's Brew Free or Die IPA, brewed in San Francisco.

Info: Koozies, set of six, from PDX Softgoods ($30).

Interesting drink I must admit. I like the pairing part for beer lovers. The price is also looking great, just $30.

Thank you for including my koozies in your gift guide! :)

Just wanted to let folks know that I make a few different "6-pack" themed sets that can be found in my Etsy store and if you'd like a different theme, we can design a set together.

I also make one of a kind personalizes koozies of just about any style you need, just ask. :) Price range $8-10/each for single custom koozies.

Hi Michel,

I definitely do custom orders. :)

Koozies don’t typically fit on mugs with handles, but they might fit on the Ikea's handle-less Charmör mug:

I’ve been looking for a mug that would fit in a koozies to offer to folks and will be going to Ikea to test fit one of these in the next week or so.

I'll post back here when i find out if it's a fit or not. ;)

Cheers!

Quick update regarding the Ikea "Charmör" mug. A regular koozie almost fits on it, but needs to be about 3/4" shorter. If anyone ever wants a koozie made specifically for this mug, let me know and i'll make the modifications BEFORE sewing it together.

Cheers!

I love koozies.

KOOZIE is really a very nice way to keep the beer and all other drinks cool even on days that are warm. KOOZIES are truly very helpful and useful when you are really on an outing or on a picnic. They are very truly available in different colors, shapes and sizes.
