Celebratory Glass Top and Method of Use

Abstract

A lid for a glass and method of use is disclosed. The lid comprises a circular body having a rim configured to engage the top edge of a glass, a circular wall extending upward from the rim, and a top surface. The top surface is substantially perpendicular to the circular wall. The top surface comprises one or more circular projections extending away from the top surface, one or more circular cavities, one or more vent holes configured to permit air flow through the top surface, and an outer lip being disposed along the outer perimeter of the top surface and extending above the top surface. The one or more circular cavities are defined by cylindrical cavity walls extending below the top surface. The lid further comprises one or more tiers and may further comprise a message on the surface of the lid and/or on the circular tier wall.
