i buy the little cone shaped acrylic ones from lom to include with every sale. great value.
for my higher priced mibs, i include exotic wood stands (usually cocobolo) as i have a friend who makes custom grips for his pistols...and has these little 1.5 to 1.75 squares of wood left over from his process.
bevel the edges, drill a hole and prestochango.....killer stands from what would have been scrap.

I cut the tops off of wine bottles and use those for stands. Repurposing the bottle glass and not adding plastics to the environment.

Thanks for that link. On my display table I use plastic water bottle caps. Great conversation starter. May upgrade to acrylic rings when I grow up though
