The 1st place winner of the Initial MessageTile and 3 bottle stoppers is Bethany who wrote: "My favorite item on the site is the vine cheese plate. I can picture using it to entertain for many years to come."

The 2nd place winner of the Initial MessageTile is Angelina who wrote: "How unique and versatile! I like the Coterie Place Tiles and think they would be perfect for when our parents meet for the first time at a small dinner party before our April 2, 2011 wedding."

The 3rd place winner of the 3 bottle stoppers is Claire who wrote: "Our wedding is on Sep. 4, 2011 and my favorite product from the shop is the set of platinum bottle stoppers, they would be such a great way to remind yourself where you got a particular olive oil, or when you opened that bottle of wine! I love that they are attractive and elegant at the same time. The idea of using them as two-for-one place cards and party favors is so fun!"
