20 Glassware Options to Elevate Your Cocktail Hour with Sustainable, Non-Toxic Glassware

Updated: Dec 6, 2023

Hey friend!✨


Are you looking to give your cocktail hour an elevated, eco-conscious upgrade?


It's honestly one of the easiest non-toxic swaps, yet it's often overlooked. So we're diving into the world of clear, non-painted glass drinkware today - that's not only chic, but better for your health and the environment.


That's a win-win! Don't cha think?


You might be wondering if it really makes a difference to drink from clear glasses instead of painted ones... Well, for starters, dental organizations report that decorated glasses often contain concerning levels of lead and cadmium from paint pigments.


In fact, a 2021 study found toxic metal levels up to 20 times higher than what is considered to be a "safe amount" of toxins in painted glassware samples.


Just let that sink in for a second...


The toxic metal levels were up to 20 TIMES HIGHER in painted glassware!😳


Shocking, huh?


The good news is that by simply choosing to use glassware with no paint or dye at home, you eliminate this potential toxicity risk completely. We understand that it might always not be an option when you are dining out or visiting someone's home and that's totally okay!


We cheer on toxin burden reduction whenever and however possible. Our team knows and respects that this journey looks different for everyone, so please don't stress the idea of making perfect choices 24/7.


Now, before you write the idea off because you prefer glassware with designs that makes a statement... Take a look at these!🥂


Aren't they are so pretty?!


We definitely think so! That's why we've selected 20 different styles of lead-free glassware for you to browse through.


All of the sets our team selected come boxed so nicely that you might consider buying one as a gift for a relative or friend (or both!) because why not?! They are practical, chic and safe.


Plus, unadorned glassware fits beautifully into minimalist tiny homes where clutter is minimized. And when you opt for glass over plastic cups, you make a planet-friendly choice too.


Actually, according to Stanford University research, glass is 100% recyclable and can be remade endlessly without loss of quality or purity. So bypass plastic waste and potential toxins by embracing elegant clear glassware - the ultimate sustainable, non-toxic choice for your tiny home bar cart and fun gift option year-round!
