AIBU to think wine glass charms should all be clearly different?

If you think wine glass charms are unbearably naff that's fine, and this is not the thread for you.

I like wine glass charms. I like them because they're useful and you know whose glass is whose. I also like them because I love tat and decoration and fiddly, pretty things.

Years ago a friend made me a beautiful set with silver and blue beads and each one had a main charm that represented something meaningful. There's a mermaid, a bicycle, a castle, a tortoise and various others. I love them and have used them for years. They're getting a bit tarnished and broken now and I'm thinking about getting a new set - but all the pre-made sets totally miss the point by having very similar charms. How is anyone supposed to remember they were the pale mauve starfish, not the deep violet starfish??! Or, are you the standing up cat, or the stretching its back cat? The arum lily or the calla lily?

I also have a glass Christmas set and they're good because there's an elf, a Santa, a candy cane, a Christmas tree etc. All different things. Easy to remember.

Aibu to think that the point of wine glass charms is to have a set of different things so you remember which one is yours??

Yes I thought of that but I found it got a bit expensive. Perhaps I should save up.

The cheap chinese sites sell charms and beads dirt cheap unless you are opposed to places like temu, ali express etc. also amazon and e bay.

I’ve never come across these but what a lovely idea! Have to agree though each one needs to be visibly different
