Duraclear Martini Glasses
According to the manufacturer, Duraclear plastic glasses won’t crack or discolor over time. We like them because they still look classy in your summer snapshots, but won’t leave those irritating glass shards all over the deck when the crowd gets tipsy enough to start dropping them.

Dual Magnetic Chopping Board
A plastic cutting board for meat and a wood one for vegetables is a good idea, unless you like salmonella. This board is wood on one side, plastic on the other, but the sides are held together with magnets. They pull apart for easy cleaning.
