Unique drink covers, fun glass jars with lids (and some clever uses), and an ice chilled condiment server… Check out this week’s fun finds!
#1 – Outdoor Drink Covers
Now we’re talkin’! No more worries about bugs getting in your beverages when you’re basking at the beach or partying on the patio. Just place one of these stylish silicone covers on top your glass, push down to ‘seal’ and your beverage stays bug-free!
I just love that these covers are black – they go with any kind of glass or patio decor, and the diamond shaped handle on the top just adds a bit of bling. How cool is that?!
If you spend any time entertaining outside in the Summer, you need a set like this! Party on!
#2 – Glass Jars with Lids
A variety of different sized glass jars with lids make the perfect container for backyard parties.
Fill one jar with your favorite salad (we love Tequillaberry Salad), another jar with fresh fruit, and another jar with dessert (such as a parfait). The lids help keep the bugs out of your food during the party, and the clear glass allows your guests to see what’s inside each jar. Simple, elegant, and a fun way to serve your favorite party food.
TIP: If your outdoor party is held on a warm (and sunny) day, I suggest you place the jars into a tub of ice to keep the contents cold.
#3 – Ice Chilled Condiment Server
Condiment servers like this are so versatile!
Fill the bottom with ice cubes, then fill the individual tubs with your favorite condiments. Set the unit on a patio table and you’re all set for your party! As the ice melts, this condiment server holds the cold air in the bottom, and both the cold air and ice help keep the contents chilled.
We like using a condiment server (or two or three) for our Ice Cream Bars. Fill one (or two) servers with fresh fruit – such as cherries, pineapple, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, sliced kiwi, and sliced bananas. Fill another server with coconut flakes, chocolate sprinkles, caramel chips, and marshmallow fluff. Serve vanilla ice cream in a bowl and let your guests top their treat with their favorite condiments.
Of course, you can also use the condiment server for a boozy bar. Fill with pickles, olives, cooked shrimp, and lemon wedges and let your guests adorn their favorite beverage.

You can find links to all three things on Pinterest at Things I Like and you can find some of these things in my Amazon Marketplace Storefront.
NOTE: Since my job is an online store and mentoring ecommerce business owners, I spend a LOT of time online each day. While most of that time is spent working, I do occasionally stumble across websites, articles, and cool things that I really like. I save these things to a Pinterest board, so someday when I have some free time, I can go back to that board and enjoy the things I found.
Loved the condiment servers. Such a simple, but great idea. Looks like an easy cleanup, too.
