Now that backyard BBQ season is here, I’m ready to break out my favorite serving pieces for celebrations and last-minute cocktail parties on our back deck. I’m a bit of a servingware collector, despite living in NYC with limited storage space. I just can’t help myself! However, we do host a good amount, so I have lots of chances to show them off. One piece I’ve been eyeing lately is this gorgeous glass piece that acts as a cake/cookies/pie platter on one side, then flip it over for a chips and salsa or crudite and dip situation. It saves space, looks beautiful, is multi-functional—it’s perfect! Shop it, plus more clever, time-saving products I’m loving this week.
A Better Keyboard

Work better with this wireless keyboard: It splits in half to help you maintain a neutral posture while you type. The compact design means you can easily tote it around on the daily.
A Powerful Mini Air Pump

An ideal tentmate, this air pump is extra teeny (just two inches tall!) and comes with five nozzles, so you can inflate floats or sleeping pads. When it’s time to head home, reverse the flow for quick deflating.
Anti-Slip Earbud Grips

If your wireless earbuds tend to fall out, you need these grippy pads. They’re sweat- and water-resistant to keep the buds in place on runs and rainy commutes.
A Double-Duty Serving Piece

Use this handblown glass platter as a cake stand, or flip it over and fill it with chips and dip. There’s no wrong answer here.
Cat Water Fountain

Is your cat a water snob? Win her over with this wireless device that dispenses fresh H2O whenever she approaches. The enticing flow will get Cleocatra slurping, and hopefully suffering fewer UTIs.
Blister-Preventing Socks

These socks have padding sewn into the heels to ward off blisters. They’re also available in crew and quarter lengths for the cool folks among us!
