Place cards and napkin rings in one! Designed by Joerg Gaetjens in Germany, these unique napkin rings will add some pizazz to your dinner parties. Made of lacquered, untreated maple. Discount for MoMA members!

I can't remember where I first saw this (maybe Domino?) but I think it's so cute/great. No need for name/place cards at the table- do it on the napkin holder. (And I like the chalk pencil)

These chalkboard napkin rings are real smart. Use the included fine-tipped chalk pencil to write the names of your guests - allowing you to arrange seating to avoid arguments, foster conversation, or subtly hint to two people that you would like their wedding today, please. Or you could draw little doodles or motifs. Nice!

Very nicely made, and a beautiful set. Comes with 4 napkin rings, the chalk pencil, and a (real!) sponge to clean them after use.

These would make a fantastic gift. They're chalkboard napkin rings which you can write guest's names on instead of on old fashioned, hoity-toity place cards.

Awesomeness.

I love finding things that are insanely useful as well as just a great idea. Take these Chalkboard Napkin Rings for instance. I mean, GREAT idea. A napkin ring and a place card all rolled up in one! These would be fabulous for a Spring Fever Party or any dinner party for that matter! (via Outblush)
