Hey everyone! As we gear up for July 4th, I’m curious: What’s the coolest new product you discovered that made your celebration more festive, easier, or way more fun?

I grabbed the Host Freeze Margarita Glasses for our July 4th get-together this year and they were such a hit. You just pop them in ahead of time and your drinks stay icy cold without needing extra ice (which means no watered-down margs!). The shape is perfect—wide enough for a salted rim and sturdy enough to hold even slushy-style drinks. They look way more fun and elevated than disposable cups. Perfect for backyard BBQs, pool days, or just pretending you’re on vacation.

For me, an ideal July 4th involves a good bbq, and these two are what I'm eyeing this year - a bbq tool set and a high-quality outdoor pizza oven.
