Where can I find an ashtray?

[kbkids]

DH and a friend smoke an occasional cigar on the back porch, and he wants an ashtray to keep back there. I was gonna get him one for Christmas but can't find them anywhere -- where do you get ashtrays from?

A specialty smoke/tobacco shop?

 

[camustard]

ebay could have some nice/cheap ones?

Walgreens has them.

I happen to be on amazon.com right now and put in "cigar ashtray" and up they came.

Good luck!

Wow 4 posts and nobody has flamed your pants off yet. It's coming, I tell you.

There are still smoke shops around (we have one in the mall), I think Walmart sells ashtrays, and I might still have one I made in 3rd grade that I could sell you cheap.

(so why DON'T kids make those in school anymore?)

Try an antique shop. They have some really nice onces in my local shop for about $20. Marble ones, too!

Thanks - that's right down the road - I'll go look. I've tried Walmart and Target with no luck. Thought maybe a hardware store, Ace's or True Value - haven't tried yet though.

If you are just looking for any old ashtrya nothing special, you can pick one up at WalMart. I am a smoker(outside only) and DH occassionally smokes a pipe. I found one for a dollar.HTH

Yeh, I've found them online - but I was hoping to get it by Christmas.

That's just what I was going to suggest. They also have really nice ornate lighters. From back when lighters were considered furniture

Nope - not my Walmart. My DS actually did make something that could pass for an ashtray this year - but no way am I giving it to DH to dump cigar ashes in!!

I'll have to go look. We've got a couple around here. Maybe I'll luck out!

Do you remember what part of the store it was in? I asked at my Walmart, and they said they didn't carry them. Of course, that doesn't mean the person knew what they were talking about.

Garage Sales (which is gonna be impossible to do this time of year!)

But do you have a Thrift Store by you?

Or what about - do you have one of those 'pottery places' where you pick out your pottery and paint it - they fire it for you and you pick it up?

If you got a bowl or plate, that material can be sanded down pre-firing (it's really soft and easy to file before firing) So you can make notches.

Then have fun painting one!

And if youre really looking for low budget, try a Auto Parts store. They still sell those 'bean bag bottom' ones.

If I were you - I'd go to your local thrift store. I know mine has them (and some are pretty fun and intricate and cool....from decades ago, for just a few bucks)

I did think about that. I just took the kids on Thursday to make a cookie jar for Grandma. That was their cut-off for stuff to be ready for Christmas. But, if I can find a cheapo one somewhere, I may get that and then let the kids go back and make one for him later on.

Yes - I still have the one I made and use it. IT was supposed to be a bowl, and I sucked at pottery and the sides all kinda fell and caved in....perfect ashtray.

I bet not one other person who made that thing, still has theirs.

See??? Definitely check this out!!!
