It is nice to be able get shot glasses with the names of places you have been too but didn’t manage to get a glass why you were there. Also the option of creating your own place souvenir by using a glass with the national flag or map and adding a place name that would never normally be credited with its own souvenir is good.
The only thing I am not so keen on is the size of the glass. They are larger than your average European shot glass by a third so take up more space in the display shelving and requires the shelves to be further apart.
The service is quick and the items usually arrive in the UK in about a week.
