1. MOD ANIMAL MELAMINE SALAD SERVERS by Jonathan Adler ($12/set)

5. IF YOU CAN’T STAND THE HEAT TRAY by cb2 ($7.95)
Bold typography + primary colors = great conversation piece even after the apps are gone.

8. PHOTO BOOTH PROPS on a Stick by etsy shop Little Retreats
Bring some fun to the party (and to the memories!) with these clever paper “costume” cut-outs. The stick format makes them super easy to use and pass around at any party – whether you’re celebrating in your backyard or at a picnic in the park.

This summer, rediscover the daiquiri. Bacardi Hand Shaken Daiquiri is the perfect addition to any summer get-together — fun, delicious, and ready to pour. Bacardi Hand Shaken Daiquiri is made with Bacardi Superior Rum, tangy lime and sugar. It is a perfectly balanced cocktail that is not too sour and not too sweet.

Please drink responsibly.
