Entertaining Gadgets You Can't Live Without

Good morning, dear friends.  We are expecting a rainy, grey weekend.  No complaining here.  You don't have to shovel rain.

Speaking of complaining, the Mister has a horrible cold.  He is not a good patient.  Every time he sniffs or coughs it is immediately followed by a miserable moan and groan.  He is now on hold for MD Live, which is included in our insurance plan.  No lines or appointments, you call a number and you speak to a real live Doctor who listens to your symptoms.  In the Mister's case, in monotonous detail.  Hopefully, the doctor will throw in a prescription for Xanax, so we all can enjoy our weekend. 

Yesterday morning I spent my usual eleven o'clock hour with my buddies, Hoda and Crazy Lee. They had their wandering time-filler correspondent, Sissy, displaying some great new gadgets for entertaining.  So this is where I got the idea for this groundbreaking post.   

This is one of the contraptions that Sissy displayed.  It seemed a little labor-intensive for my tastes, but not everybody is a lazy couch potato like me.  Essentially, with a little elbow grease, and a lot of vodka, you can turn your fruit into a keg. 

For the college student who is no longer interested in seeing Peeps in his/her Easter basket.  You will be the coolest parents in town!

Is this a purse or a life line?  I could have used one of these when the girls were little and I had to sit through dreary PTA meetings.

For the tailgater that wants to make a statement - a viking horn to sip your brew.  Shoulder strap included.

Everyone will want to be friends with your college kid if he/she  finds this beer pong set in their care package.

A pi bowl for the mathematician in your life.  This would not apply to our family.

Serving cheese on your yacht?  Have I got the cheese platter for you!

For someone like me who wants to make sure my piece is as big as Sista's, a cake slice marker set.  A great peace maker for a family.  No pun intended.

A bread carving board that catches all the crumbs.  This would feed all of the Mister's OCD tendencies.

If the party is on the dull side, bring these guys along and watch the party begin. 

And if that doesn't do the trick, you can always play twirl your glasses.


All of these fabulous gift ideas can be found on Uncommon Goods.  I have not been compensated and all my empty thoughts are my own.
