What Makes It Uncommon

States of Matter

Your love for your state goes deep. You could say it's at the atomic level. Show how you feel about your homeland with this playful platter featuring the elements that make it special. Instead of the basics like helium and boron, each block on this periodic table includes an illustration depicting a state staple like famous food (avocados, Californians?), landmark (the Empire State's building of the same name), or cultural icon. Celebrate your own state, or give one to a chemistry student or science geek who's covalently bonded to theirs. Made in China, decorated in Illinois.

Sold individually.

Humorous and beautiful!

This platter is beautiful, and its "elements" are totally right on for Pennsylvania. If the other state versions are as descriptive and funny as the Pennsylvania platter is, they should all be a great present for anyone who wants to celebrate their home state.

The perfect gift for my son

This was an ideal gift because my son recently moved to Baltimore and loves it. He's now the biggest Maryland booster anywhere, and he is fixing up his first apartment there so this is a great addition! He has it displayed in the living room and it will be a great conversation piece.
