Pimp Cup / Chalice Recommendations?
This year, I've organized a new fantasy football league for some friends who haven't played before (including
@Zonugal,
@Seattle Thread, and
@Captain Cthulhu). With the season reaching its end, we're looking into options for a championship trophy.
I'm leaning toward a customized "pimp cup" or chalice. The more gaudy and over-the-top the better. Here are my requirements.
- Customizable with at least 5 characters, but preferably more
- Made of actual glass, not plexiglass, lexan, etc
- Safe to drink out of
- "Blinged out" (ie. lots of sparkly shit all over it)
- Preferably around $80, but possibly as much as $120
Googling this gets a load of really poorly designed sites of dubious provenance. As silly as it sounds, does anyone have experience ordering these? I guess some folks use them as gifts for wedding parties, so I figured it couldn't hurt to ask if anyone here had ordered them before.

A-duhhhhhhhhhhh. Wow, I am kind of a world-class dummy for not checking Etsy FIRST THING. Will rectify immediately.
Other than that great suggestion, does anyone else have any ideas?

Also why glass? I feel like polished metal would look pretty glorious and engraving it would show up better.
Mainly because glass is a known quantity; while I'm sure there are ways to fuck it up, you pretty much know that you can safely drink from a glass cup. There are lots of things that can be present in a metal chalice however, which could make it dangerous to drink from it.
Also, engraving isn't a priority. Although now that you mention it, adding the champ's name each season and reusing the cup for each champion sounds like a great idea...

Just make sure you wash it between seasons...
Only if you want to wash the glory of winning away...

Do...do you have a pimp cup, Kawika?
