Smith & Hawken: Minden Master Gas Grill

Updated Jun 23, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

I love the smell of a fire-up grill. It reminds me of just about everything I love about summer and the U.S.A. This fire-engine red dandy is begging to be used, and will stand the tests of both use and time. A little assembly is a small price to pay for such a grand grilling machine. (If you are feeling really patriotic, you could buy your neighbor the blue version.)

Airworks: XXL Foosball Table

Updated Jun 17, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

If you thought foosball couldn't possibly get any better, Airworks has just created a table that may change your thinking about the game . . . and your strategy. This particular table is for 22 players, but you can have a custom-made table created for your very own basement (or living room). Just think of the possibilities . . . . (via Urban Daddy NYC)

Terracotta Beehive Oven

Updated May 30, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

Grill everything from pizza to veggies to steak, and even bread within this outdoor oven. The outer walls of the "hive" are made of terra cotta, which keeps the oven relatively cool to the touch (and safe for your guests.) Good-looking, portable and efficient, this may be the best gift you could give a grilling aficionado. (i.e. Dad, Father-in-Law, Uncle)

Amber Iris - The Portable Pub

Updated May 6, 2008

2 people recommended this item

Description

So, you are encountering a few sprinkles or maybe an incredible and unforeseen deluge. And you are certain that the party is over. Not necessarily so if you just happen to have a portable pub on hand. Available in a variety of sizes, these blow-up structures look like pubs both inside and out, including a thatched roof, full bar and cozy hearth. If you live in a rainy part of the world (say, Seattle for example), you may want to invest in one of these to save your next party from cancellation. Or, maybe you just want to have a pub party. Either way, Slainte ! (via Daily Candy)

Updated May 5, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

For intimate outdoor dining or reclining, this set of table and chairs is entirely constructed of recycled plastic. I love the yellow, but the black is just as cool. (via Styles of the Times)

MATTER: TABLES » Zero by BarberOsgerby

Updated May 5, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

A beautifully shaped piece of molded polyester appears to be a sculpture, or perhaps some sort of large container. Look more closely and you will see that a piece of clear glass spans the top, creating a uniquely simple table and one that would be striking whether on a patio or in a dining room.

Pottery Barn: Outdoor Cushy Circle Set

Updated May 5, 2008

1st to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

However you configure the components of this weatherproof seating set, it will provide plenty of room for lounging and dining and game-playing. Although it is great for a younger crowd, I would love to have it for family gatherings. Choose from stone polyester canvas or natural Sunbrella fabric for the cushions.

Areaware: New York Delft Plate Set by Lovegrove & Repucci

Updated May 4, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

Not just a twist but a 360-degree revolution from the classic designs of Delft place settings, these fine porcelain pieces each depict a gritty scene from the streets of New York. Your guests will probably do a double-take before they realize what they are actually seeing . . . a great way to get the conversation rolling and lighten up an atmosphere.

Uncommon Goods: GROUND RULES BASEBALL GLASSES - SET OF 4

Updated May 3, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

In my parent's house, baseball is serious business. Turning the station, blocking the view, cheering for the opposing team . . . all grounds for dismissal from the family room. Best to set the rules in place before the game starts with this cheeky set of drink glasses.

Uncommon Goods: CIRCLE KABOB SET OF 8

Updated May 3, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

If you have ever used traditional shish kabob skewers, you know how unreliable and slippery they can be. All of your hard work dicing and slicing and cooking can easily end up on the ground or in the fire with one slip of the wrist. Well, not that these skewers come with a money-back guarantee, but their shape is certainly more appropriate and less likely to lead good food astray. Keep several sets on hand if you are serving both omnivores and vegetarians, or a just a really big crowd.

Uncommon Goods: RETRO TV TRAYS

Updated May 3, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

Okay, so it's raining out and now you are stuck inside with all your guests and very little space on which to serve them. OR you have no idea where you are going to seat all the neighborhood kids who showed up for the evening. As long as you have a few of these neat-o TV trays on hand, you will have no problems . . . and you might even develop a theme around the trays themselves. Campy, but not tacky.

Uncommon Goods: BAMBOO SURFBOARD SERVING TRAY

Updated May 3, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

No, this is not a surf board for cats. It is a beach-inspired tray for home entertaining. Go with the theme and add tropical fruits, shish kebabs, sushi or fresh veggies. You may want more than one if you are expecting a big crowd of hungry beach bums.

Restoration Hardware: Steak Plates

Updated May 3, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

Although these Acacia wood plates were designed with steak in mind, you could certainly use them for any main course as well as a few side dishes. Their substantial size and depth make them a great plate for outdoor dining, or for bringing that outdoor feeling inside.

UrbanOutfitters: Birds of Feather Plates

Updated May 2, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

Campy and cheeky, these plates are far superior in design, durability and "green-ness" than any paper plate I've ever seen. Purchase them as matching sets or, for even more entertaining place settings, mix and match designs the four different designs. Dishwasher and microwave safe, they are also an incredible bargain at 6 US dollars apiece.

Picnic Table Condiment Holder

Updated May 2, 2008

3 people recommended this item

Description

A condiment station that is a step up from putting those ketchup and mustard bottles on the table, and far more convenient than putting condiments into special little dishes every time you entertain. Plus, it's like a little camping trip all on its own . . . take it wherever you roam, even if it's only to your backyard.

Madeline Weinrib Atelier: Slipper Chair

Updated May 2, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

A design originating in the 1940's, Ms. Weinrib has resurrected the bare bones of this chair by imbuing it with the boisterous spirit of her black and white suzani upholstery. I would love one of these chairs for my home office, but they would also look lovely in pairs. If you really want to try a new approach to home entertaining, you could purchase an entire set for your dining room.

Bar Cart by dk Vogue

2 people recommended this item

Description

A hostess' dream accessory: an attractive serving cart. Use it for setting up your outdoor display, passing appetizers, as a condiment station, or for wine, beer and cocktail glasses. Since the tray itself is acrylic, you will find it useful both indoors and out . . . and it collapses when no longer needed. Almost as lovely as a butler !

RIO LIGHT DRINK GLASSES

Updated May 1, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

A rainbow of colored glasses is a festive way to begin any party. If you are really ambitious, you could mix a different kind color martini to match each glass. Or you could just use it as a way to help guests keep track of their own particular glass. The fun doesn't end there. Complete your collection by purchasing the similarly hued sets of wine and champagne glasses. Never let it be said that you aren't a colorful person.
