My kids' school hosts a fundraiser every year and I buy one of these plates to support the school. I almost have a set of 10 of them and they are my favorite. I use them as appetizer or dessert plates on the holidays and it's a great way for family to see their artwork. When they get older, I'll pass them down to them and they'll have a nice little set of plates with their own artwork on them....it will be fun for their kids to see them. It's a little pricey for the size but my favorite item to buy because of the ability to share with family without giving them more stuff that nobody has room for.
