It's important to commune with Mother Nature, but who the hell communes with anyone without getting tore up first? Get primal-y primed, with Animal Shot Glasses.

From Japanese trinket-maestros Goody Grams, these 2oz black-glass shot glasses come with a black pewter base intricately carved into one of four beastie-heads. Your quaffer-choices: a bull or bear, both looking contemplatively up to the sky (checking out their own constellations?), a surly looking buck, and a stubby-horned rhino clearly crippled by keratin-protruding-from-the-head envy. After taking down your favorite courage-enabler, flip the glass over and it'll balance upright on its thoughtfully designed head 'til you're ready for another round with the most gut-thrashing animal of all...The Famous Grouse?

A brush with nature isn't ridiculously expensive, but given the craftsmanship, it's pricey enough that you probably don't want to smash them into the fireplace, at least 'til the Bull returns to gore the Bear.
