Favors Opinion Needed Again, HELP! *** Updated - questions for those who liked the glass wine stopper

Need opinion again. Last time I posted favors everyone seemed to agree they liked this:

Well I got it in and its 100% plastic and seems extremely cheesy to me.

I also found this (below) and got a sample of it as well. Its pretty but its got a lot of imperfections in the glass that look strange and is only blue on one side, the back side is solid white. And its obvious that the top was hand blown but attached to the bottom because of the roughness of the glass where they meet.

So now I am trying to decide between those and these:

Glass bottle stopper. its seems like most people would use it over a cheese tknife or a dish.

But you had some good options.

Here is the weird imperfection in the blown glass. My mom said its probably because its hand blown, but what if others look like that?

And here you can see the line where it is pieced together.

I like the dish the best, but I don't drink wine. Out of the wine stoppers, I absolutely love the glass-blown one.

I would do the plate.. they can use that and if they dont like it then they can regift it (mean i know, but true) and I have seen those knives and they are plastic so if you didnt like the wine stopper you wont like those either

I really like the shell dish or cheese knives but that's because I really LOVE anything with shells!

Hand blown glass is never going to be perfect.

I would stick with the handblown wine stopper.

If you want to see things in person there is a booth in the Attitas Flea Market -- he had just about everything I saw online.

Stay with either the plastic stoppers or go with the glass.

My wine stoppers for the E Party were plastic. Not cheesy at all- it was a nice shiney plastic. Everyone loved them and still talks about how they use them all the time.

I am just so upset by that ugly square in the middle of the bottle stopper.

The first bottle stopper looks really nice but it feels so cheesy when you touch it, because you expect it to be metal.

I like the glass stopper, I think it would be more useful, and I think that people would realize that it is hand blown, and realize the imperfections are due to that.

I like the dish best. People can use it for soap, keys, loose change... a lot of choices!

Another idea is glass coasters with a beach theme.
