Put away the iPads and the iPods. Hide the BlackBerrys. Replace them (at least for a few hours) with Penny Stones.
Penny Stones are small, see-through glass stones with conversation starters inside. They’re meant to foster communication through -- gasp -- interacting with others live and face-to-face. What a concept.
Inside the stones you might find such conversation starters as super-power you’d like to have (wonder if making posts appear with a blink of an eye qualifies?) question you’d ask God or year you’d like to travel to.
Penny Stones are available in five editions, each with a different theme. The Original edition is ideal for holiday parties, social and family gatherings, and is a useful icebreaker for potentially awkward dinner or office parties. Penny Stones also make great gifts and party favors.
Holiday entertaining tips: Place a Penny Stone next to each guest's plate at the dinner table, to keep the conversation flowing, or use the stones as part of the centerpiece.
Each edition is $15 and comes with 21 stones and a penny (for your thoughts) in a drawstring bag (making it a convenient game to take on trips). For more information and other tips, visit www.pennystones.com.
