A little ambience, a little organization, and several completely unnecessary-but-delightful ways to serve cheese.

I'm a Resident Writer on BuzzFeed's shopping team who loves finding products that are delightfully strange or useful (or both).

 Its adjustable, expandable design fits most 750-milliliter wine and champagne bottles and holds them securely while you pour. The low-profile shape also leaves more of the bottle visible, which is nice when the label is part of the ~flex.~

Promising review: "I don’t usually take the time to review a product, but I had to this time. I decided to submit the wine chiller to the ultimate test. Would or could it keep a bottle of wine cold overnight? In a word, yes! I put a cold bottle in it, and 10 hours later, the wine was still cold. Not as cold as it started out, but so what. I’m very impressed with the Huski wine chiller." —Amazon Customer

Each soft silicone butterfly uses a small suction cup to cling to the outside of your glass and can be removed and reused without leaving sticky residue behind.

Promising review: "Perfect! These were a big hit for our daughters graduation party. Everyone loved that they could choose their own color, and no one lost one during the whole party. They had amazing suction even with the condensation from the drinks. A crowd pleaser." —Jaime

Get a set of 10 from Amazon for $8.29.  

They’re made from zinc alloy and fasten around the stems of wineglasses with little clasps, plus you’ll get a storage bag to keep all of them together between parties.

Promising review: "They are a hit every time we have people coming over! Very easy to put on the wineglasses and they look very cute. Love the variety of the design." —Catalina Salazar

FYI, the sign isn't dry-erase, but some reviewers suggest using clear tape as a barrier, should you decide to change your password someday. 

Promising review: "No one asked me for my internet password. That is the best part." —sandra orozco

The stay-cool marble surface can double as a serving board for appetizers and charcuterie, while the included backup wire means you won’t have to retire the whole thing if the original eventually wears out.

Check out a TikTok of the cheese slicer in action. 

Promising review: "My mother-in-law had purchased one last year, and I tried hers at Christmas and fell in love with how easy it was to use. We have a lot of get-togethers with friends, and cheese is a staple appetizer in our house. So, I purchased my own and have been using it weekly since. It cuts easily and is mostly easy to clean. Sometimes cheese gets stuck in the crack, but some scrubbing with a small brush usually does the trick." —Jessica

Get it from Amazon for $22.91 (available in two colors). 

It’s crafted from acacia and rubberwood and has a bold end-grain-inspired pattern that makes it pretty enough to leave out even when nobody is actively chopping anything.

Promising review: "I am OBSESSED with this cutting board. It is made so well and looks so expensive. Every time I have guests, I will use it as a serving tray or a display for charcuterie, and I always get compliments on it." —Lorrin Farrell

Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in four sizes). 

It’s cordless, rechargeable, and designed to live right on the counter in its charging base, so there are no batteries to replace or corkscrews to go hunting for mid-party.

Promising review: "Using the old-fashioned corkscrew usually leads to issues with a broken cork and headaches. This wine opener has just one job: open the wine bottle efficiently with no issues, and it does it 100% of the time. Great for wine clubs, parties, etc., when you have many bottles to open. The charge lasts forever, and it's a great tool to show to friends. Get one today! —Marc

Selfies get a little easier thanks to the built-in mirror and close-up mode, while automatic flash control helps prevent photos from coming out overly washed out. The Instax Up! app also lets you digitize your physical prints by scanning them with your smartphone, so you can keep, edit, tag, and share them long after the party’s over.

Just a heads up, the film is sold separately!

Promising review: "I had one of the original new Polaroids. I’m talking circa 2016, not original, and I felt like the picture quality just wasn’t there. However, with this camera, the quality is! It doesn’t matter if the picture is taken inside or outside, the picture will turn out. I have loved snapping pictures of my kids with this and definitely think it’s worth the money!" —Sara Jane

Get it from Amazon for $82.99 (available in five colors).

It comes with an extra round tray, two slate labels (with chalk), two ceramic bowls for dipping sauces, and four slicing and serving utensils.

Smirly is a small business that makes clever and cool kitchen and hosting products!

Promising review: "Bought the product as a present for my partner for the holidays. The charcuterie cheese board itself is great, and the ability to store the cheese knives was an excellent addition for transportation and to 'wow' people at parties. I was able to host twice with the device, and it often was able to hold around six to eight cheeses and cracker combinations reasonably well without feeling like the device is crowded. I also like how easy it was to clean, since the drawer used to store the knives can be easily removed. Finally, I enjoyed all the additional items that came with this set." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in five wood types).

The glossy gold details make the whole table feel more elevated, while the disposable construction keeps things practical. Translation: fancy-looking table, very unfancy cleanup.

Promising review: "These were of great quality. We were asked if it was actual ceramic plates, LOL, due to its great quality. Would definitely order again, since they are disposable." —G Unit

You can also customize its size to fit your fridge.

Promising review: "I couldn’t be happier with this product, definitely constructed well and so easy to put together. Where has this been all my life? My kids love it and now there's no more cans and bottles falling over in the refrigerator. I would recommend this to all my friends." —Jeannie

Get it from Amazon for $69.99 (also available in a two-pack and a six-pack).

This version includes a rulebook with both standard and ridiculous alternate ways to play, so it offers plenty of replay value for future game nights. Just a note: if you're easily offended, this is NOT the game for you. 

Promising review: "It's always a blast to play with the right group. It is incredibly funny, easy to learn, and guarantees a lot of laughs. A perfect choice for game nights and parties." —Marc

Each topper is about 4 inches across. They can also help shield your drink from dust and reduce splashes onto nearby surfaces.

Promising review: "These are so cute! I hosted a wine tasting at my house and the coasters fit into many different wineglasses. I had about three to four fairly decent-sized chocolates on top. These were a hit and everyone thought they were in a nice restaurant with the setup!!" —Melanie M. 

Get a set of eight from Amazon for $7.99 (also available in an eight-pack). 

It comes with 50 10-inch skewers, so you can load up the little guy with everything from caprese bites to fruit and fondue-friendly snacks. The solid wood body also makes it cute enough to leave out even after everyone has eaten the quills clean.

Promising review: "This is my favorite item to give. I have purchased it five times. Housewarming, hostess, anytime really. So useful and always a hit. Don't hesitate, it's a winner. Versatile with many different types of food. My favorite is a rotation on the skewer of strawberry, a folded salami slice, mozzarella, and a drizzle of balsamic. Get creative!" —Terry

It uses a wind- and splash-resistant electric arc instead of butane, includes a safety lock and automatic seven-second shutoff, and shows remaining battery life with four LED indicators. Plus, it recharges via USB-C, so you can keep it ready for everything from dinner-party candles to backyard BBQs!

Promising review: "So, I bought this because I was sick of using matches or a grill lighter to light my candles. The charge lasts a long time! And it works great! The size is perfect because it doesn't stick out in the basket. It's easy to use, durable, and I've never had an issue lighting a candle. Since we live in the South, we get many thunderstorms where the power keeps going out. So having a reliable way to light candles in the dark is worth it. Highly recommend." —Vicki T

Each ottoman can stash blankets, books, or games while still working as a comfy seat. The table itself has rounded edges and a durable surface made to handle spills, hot mugs, and everyday wear.

Promising review: "I don’t normally write reviews, but this is by far one of my favorite purchases thus far on Amazon. It was very affordable and the perfect size for my small space. Not only does it hold storage inside the seats, but the seat padding itself is so comfortable!! And it also saves my problem of needing an ottoman because now the seats double as a footrest. The assembly took literally 30 minutes or less. It’s pretty heavy-duty without being too heavy." —Elza

Get it from Amazon for $329.99 (available in two shapes).

The brand says it provides 32 seconds of firefighting time.

Promising review: "Of course, you never want to use something like this, but I knew that we needed one in our new condo just in case. I was right! I was toasting taco shells in our large toaster and looked away for a moment. Smoke billowed first, and then it caught fire fast. My husband grabbed the device, aimed, and sprayed for about five seconds. He stopped, and I barked for him to do it again because it caught one more time. There’s no way I would have been able to toss a blanket up there, and a real extinguisher would have left the biggest mess. This was easy to clean up!" —Mamercs6

This one is meant for use after cooking, so think of it as the final flourish before you bring dinner to the table. And if you want an olive oil for cooking, Graza also makes Sizzle, which is designed for heating.

Promising review: "I absolutely love the quality of Graza Drizzle Olive Oil — it’s become my go-to finishing touch for so many things. Whether I’m dipping fresh bread or jazzing up my popcorn, it adds this rich, flavorful kick that really elevates the experience. It’s smooth, fragrant, and just the right balance of fruity and peppery. What really surprised me is how well it works beyond the usual savory uses. I’ve started drizzling it over ice cream, and trust me, it’s a total game-changer. The olive oil adds this silky, slightly herbal note that pairs beautifully with the sweetness of the ice cream — definitely worth trying if you want to impress your taste buds." —Tori V.

Promising review: "This is elite salt. Fancy without being pretentious. The flakes are perfect for finishing, adding that satisfying little crunch and flavor pop to everything from steaks to chocolate chip cookies and buttered sourdough toast. Yes, toast. Trust me. The tub is massive and resealable, which keeps it fresh and easy to use. If you’re into flavor, this is the salt upgrade your pantry didn’t know it needed." —Alyn Reads

The rotating design keeps toppings easy to reach and works for other build-your-own meals too, including nachos, fajitas, and burritos. It’s dishwasher-safe, so the post-taco aftermath is mercifully low-effort.

Promising review: "It’s HUGE. Perfect for hosting, not just for regular family taco night, will take up the entire shelf of the dishwasher. The meat does stay hot in the warming bowl without making the condiments for the tacos hot." —Ashley Jordan

Promising review: "Stunning! I have been seeing a lot of fun drinkware at stores recently. However, the glass is always paper-thin and looks too fragile to be used. So I gave these ones a try. Yes, these are it! The glass is thick, the stem is sturdy, the colors are fun, and the shape is interesting. I am obsessed. You'll find me sipping my lemon water out of these from now on!" —Amanda

Get a set of two from Amazon for $21.99 (available in two styles). 

You’ll find ideas like a build-your-own parfait board, mimosa board, taco board, Mediterranean mezze board, s’mores board, and birthday dessert board, all with photos and step-by-step guidance to help you recreate the look.

Promising review: "Love this book. It has such cute charcuterie board ideas, including gorgeous seasonal ideas that are seriously so much fun. My mom and I made this Christmas tree [inspired by] the book. Highly recommend!" — Rockin Mommy

The format makes it especially easy to use mid-planning: pick the board you want, take the ingredient list shopping, then prop up the photo while you assemble. It also includes shortcuts for upgrading store-bought foods without creating extra work.

Promising review: "This has been a game changer for my gatherings. Each card provides creative ideas for both savory and sweet spreads, making it easy to put together a visually appealing and delicious board. Whether you’re looking to impress guests at a dinner party or simply elevate a casual brunch, this deck has you covered. What I love most is how practical and versatile the suggestions are. You don’t need fancy ingredients or complicated setups to create something beautiful. The cards are organized by theme, such as 'Cheese & Charcuterie,' 'Dessert Delights,' or 'Breakfast Boards,' so you can quickly find inspiration for any occasion." — Cathy pereda

It keeps markers within reach so everyone can label their cup, and the three built-in grooves are sized for several different cup diameters. The whole thing has a slim footprint so it won’t hog valuable snack-table real estate.

Promising review: "This 'mark your cup' holder was a big hit at our annual family beach vacation! Everyone loved the novelty of it as every year we hear 'whose cup is this!?' We have tried to get everyone to mark their cups in the past, but this made it a cute way to remind everyone to 'mark your cup!'" —Amazon Customer

The rechargeable mic has adjustable volume and echo controls and can connect through Bluetooth, cable, USB, or microSD, giving you plenty of ways to keep the questionable performances coming.

Promising review: "You don't understand TikTok made me obsess over this microphone. As a 30+-year-old woman, I resisted purchasing it. I finally broke down and bought it because it was haunting me in my sleep. I'm so glad I did. When I am in a bad mood, I start karaoke in my house and am instantly better. It has 'ruined' my teenage son's life because my performances can be heard through his Xbox microphone. This is a must-have product." —Zane A. Undercoffer
