Glass Dharma Set of 3 Glass Straws with Brush

This item is a bit indulgent, but if you are like me and enjoy a nice cold drink, but happen to have sensitive teeth, you know that drinking through a straw is the way to go. I love this set because it is handmade in the USA and comes with its own brush. A great ecological solution for kids (and adults) who like to drink out of a straw. The reviews over at ReUseIt.com state that even though the straws are breakable if they drop on the floor, they are pretty sturdy and hold up pretty well.
