There may be no way to stop that ninja lighter thief, but don’t let your buddies run off with your favorite coaster. Lighters are disposable, but water rings are forever.

54. Funny Tip Jar
While your friends might not actually tip you, a funny tip jar is an amusing touch to any home bar. Of course, you can always hide everyone’s cell phone until the tip jar is full, or get your brother to spread a rumor about how broke you are, watch the cash roll in, then split the proceeds.
55. Penny Bar
One of my favorite small home bar ideas, I love the connected chess board on this portable bar. Also this bar would be incredibly easy to move if you want to rearrange or if you move.
Use those pennies you have lying around and create a shiny home bar or even floor. It will take less effort than rolling them and going to an actual bank, and if a friend is ever annoying you, tell him you’ll give him a hundred bucks to find the one where Lincoln is wearing a fedora. Hint: There’s no fedora.

In fact, between this, the beer can track lighting and the bottle chandelier, you should could light your whole house with booze recyclables.
