I love spotting hot, new trends, and feel certain you’ll want to entertain all summer long with these mom-approved kitchen products that prove both innovative and convenient. Bring on the backyard cookouts and garden parties!

Greet your guests with a chilled glass of bubbly in a stylish Eparé Double Wall Champagne Glass. No matter the celebration: graduation, bridal shower, or just a sunny weekend get-together, elevate your event from good to great with these stemless glasses. The double wall construct of the Eparé design creates a dramatic look while eliminating condensation and keeping drinks colder. Crafted from strong borosilicate, these delicate-looking glasses prove lightweight, scratch and break resistant (so are perfect for outdoors!) as well as dishwasher, microwave, and freezer safe. We love the look of them!

Nature’s Party believes “presentation is everything”,  so takes pride in creating creative tableware that not only wows guests, but proves all-natural, biodegradable, and compostable, too. Their Bio “n” Chic Drop-shaped Sugarcane Dishes come 12 in a package, are made from renewable material (sugarcane!), and work equally well serving up both cold and hot food. Serve your h’ors-d’oeuvres in style this summer – while doing Mama Earth some good!

Where has the handy, space-saving Veggie Wedgie been all our lives? This super-sharp, and precise little gadget from Microplane quickly cut carrots, cucumbers, zucchini, and other hard foods into six, beautifully formed wedges. We love this easy-to-use device for keeping healthy snacks ready in the fridge to address 3pm cravings, and to save both time and effort making vegetable trays for entertaining! Clean up is a breeze: just disassemble and rinse your Veggie Wedgie after use, then pop it into the dishwasher!

Speaking of clean-up… who wants to spend more time than necessary, washing up after a get-together? The Skoy Scrub, a reusable, high-quality scouring pad made in Poland from cotton and a non-toxic hardener, proves more durable than typical scrubbers, saving time, effort, and money! Available in a variety of colors and designs to complement your kitchen’s style, we also love that after helping with the tough jobs (like baked-on messes), we can throw the hard-working Skoy Scrub into the dishwasher so it’s ready for next time.
