I'd love to drink from those old Trader Vic's coupe's with the amber totem stems but that's not going to happen at the current prices. http://www.ooga-mooga.com/cgi-bin/all/mug.cgi?mode=view&mug_id=647

These are not fun or themed so not really what you are looking for. However they are well made and functional and have become my favorite glasses for up cocktails :

The glasses are pretty spill resistant. They are sized so that a typical 2.5 - 3 oz cocktail will sit about 1 cm below the rim and they tilt in a bit on the sides which helps keep the drink in the glass. Also the stems are moderately short giving the glass a lower center of gravity. You don't have to walk like a ninja when carrying a cocktail!

They are high quality. They ring like a quality wine glass. The lip of the glass is very thin which I find pleasing to drink from yet the glass is very strong. There are no edge chips of any kind after owning a set of these for several years and they've had a lot of ice tossed in them and suffered other abuse.

I like the style. They're slightly unique, but they're certainly not fun or themed.
