Picardie Tumbler
Update your everyday glassware with this classic set of Duralex Picardie tumblers, designed to look beautiful on the table and work just as hard in a busy kitchen. Offered as a set of six clear glasses, these tumblers are sized at 16.9 ounces, making them ideal for water, iced tea, juice, cocktails and more—perfect for family dinners, casual brunches and easy entertaining with friends. The iconic contoured shape feels comfortable in your hand and also makes the glasses conveniently stackable, so they tuck neatly into cabinets and free up shelf space. A thin, smooth lip makes each sip more enjoyable, whether you’re pouring everyday drinks or setting the table for a special occasion. Crafted from tempered glass, Duralex Picardie tumblers are two-and-a-half times stronger than ordinary glass, so they stand up beautifully to daily use, frequent dishwashing and the knocks of a busy kitchen. If they do break, the shatterproof construction causes the glass to break into small chunks instead of sharp, jagged shards, making cleanup safer and easier. The nonporous tempered glass resists absorbing flavors or odors and can go from your table to the microwave to rewarm beverages, then straight into the dishwasher for quick cleanup. Made in France since 1945, Duralex has pioneered tempered glassware that’s as pretty as it is practical, which is why Picardie tumblers are a longtime favorite in hotels, cafés and restaurants around the world. Available in several sizes—including 16.91 ounces, 12.1 ounces, 8.45 ounces, 5.4 ounces and 3 ounces—this clear set lets you mix and match for everything from espresso shots to generous iced drinks, so you’re always ready to pour, share and gather around good food and great company.

$80 to spend at Macy’s ($30 expires end of January) on a BIFL item. Open to suggestions! Additional details in comments.
Duralex Picardie glasses! My kids have been unable to break these glasses. I swear they bounce.

Are Newly Made Duralex Picardie Glasses Still BIFL and Safe?
I know this is an old post, for what it's worth, I just ordered a set from Amazon. They were shipped with one this sheet of bubble wrap and no dividers in the box or any additional cushion. It's not Duralex's fault that Amazon packed them so poorly, but I was kind of amazed that for so little protection, 5 out of 6 glasses were still in perfect condition. Only one was chipped and unusable. Amazon just refunded the whole thing and thankfully did not want me to ship the glass back to them.

Looking for wedding registry ideas.
Go for quality pieces over sets for sure. No knife set, no cookware set. Here’s my recommendations so far. - Duralex Picardie glasses (timeless, still in production, super durable. - Corelle plates and bowls (they make strange designs, but they also have simple white rounded and squarish plates) Le Cruset maybe if you prefer the style. My grandma handed some down, so they last. -Oneida flatware if there’s a style you like from them. I think they have a lifetime warranty and my parents’ has still lasted my whole life, although I have had a couple table knives rust from the dishwasher. (Haven’t tested their warranty) - All Clad stainless 12in skillet D3 (I got the D5 because of a sale and I liked the brush metal). - All clad or Demeyere 3qt-3.5 range saucepan…something with a lip for easy pouring - Demeyere 10in saucier? (I got this massively on sale and it’s super heavy, but it kinda bridges the gap if I need a smaller skillet like surface, or a larger saucepan surface. The rounded edges make it perfect for, well…sauces lol. - Le Cruset Dutch oven (although, the saucier has a lid and can go in the oven…even fits a sourdough loaf!) - Asahi professional line cutting board. Natural color is cheaper than black. Maybe not quite for life, but it’s the closest thing besides an end grain cutting board which is much more maintenance. They’re beefy. They’re rubber with some wood in it, so avoiding the microplastics and the bacteria growth of other boards. You can fairly easily sand off a micro coating of it and haha a completely new surface as needed. - Get a quality chef knife (or Santoku or something if you prefer), paring knife, and serrated knife, and learn how to sharpen the former 2. (I’m currently learning on the Sharpal double sided sharpener…maybe practice on a cheap knife before your nice BIFL ones though lol.) - Nordicware sheet pans, bread pans, cake pans if you’re into baking. - Pyrex 3 piece measuring cup set (sorry I broke my rule about sets lol) - Kitchenaid stand mixer (if you’re into baking) - Hario V60 Pour Over Coffee Starter Set (the one with the plastic pour over piece) if you’re into coffee Might have other recommendations for rice cooker, coffee stuff, and cooking utensils, but it’s probably not as BIFL. Hope this helps! I know people love cast iron and carbon steel. Go for it if you like, but I really do prefer a stainless steel pan myself.

Are they really unbreakable?
I have been using the same set of Duralex Picardie glasses since 1992. In all that time I think I've broken two of them. No glass is totally unbreakable, but these are much sturdier than regular glass. And they are easy to replace -- Williams Sonoma used to sell them individually, but not sure they do anymore. Don't buy them from Amazon!
