Flasks are generally meant to be used with a certain degree of stealth in mind. Classically used to carry booze into places where booze isn’t supposed to be carried into, flasks provide a way to sneak a sip without drawing attention to oneself. Fill with whiskey or vodka and enjoy as needed.

For those who like to boldly proclaim their drink of choice, the True Fabrications 6-Ounce Acrylic Flask provides the means. The 3-inch by 5-inch by 1-inch flask mimics what any other flask is capable of, but does so with a see-through acrylic body. If asked, just remember: whiskey looks like iced tea and vodka is as clear as water. Jagermeister? You are on your own.

Just because you can do something, doesn’t mean you should. Checkers and drinking have a long and sordid history nothing to do with each other. However, for some reason here the two are combined. The Crystal Clear Checkers 27-Piece Shot Glass Set contains everything needed for a rousing game of checkers. And with each side starting the game with twelve pieces (and an extra glass to boot), it is sure to be a rousing game indeed. Cheers to you if you make it through one round.

Countless man-hours are lost every summer due simply to a lack of flat surfaces. Beverages consumed while out and about require more than just being ice-cold: they need a place to set them down. Parks, beaches and even backyards are not known for being particularly flat.

The Magnetic Beverage Stake looks to eliminate beverage-related time-wasting by offering a platform for cans. Designed to be used on any surface, the 14-inch post screws directly into the ground. An embedded magnet grabs hold of soda and beer cans, magically (ahem) keeping summer alive.

Summer is in high gear as is the rush to cool down. Last one into the pool may be a rotten egg, but the last one out of the pool most certainly is not. Especially when there is no call to ever leave it.

The Big Bobber Floating Beverage Cooler holds up to a twelve-pack and floats conveniently next to you in the pool. Need a cool down? Just reach over and crack open another beer or soda. Toss the empty to the side, and you’ll never have to leave the pool again. Unless of course they got that purple stuff in the water…

Waking up bright and early isn’t everybody’s idea of a good time, but when presented with a pot of freshly brewed coffee, anybody could find reason to smile. Especially when the coffee comes in such a brightly colored vessel.

It’s hard not to like the Bodum Bean French Press Coffeemaker with Locking Lever Lid, 3-Cup (12-Ounce). It comes in red, green, blue, purple, yellow or black, all made in that distinctive Bodum style. For around $25, it’s a surefire way to brighten your day–and the coffee doesn’t hurt either.

It may be a faux pas to put ice in wine, but there’s certainly nothing wrong with putting wine in ice. Especially when it looks this good. A big chunk of ice is always impressive, and sticking a bottle of wine through the center of it makes it even more so. That’s exactly what the Exaco Nice Ice Cooler can do for you. Part mold, part centerpiece, the contraption creates a tall cylindrical ice sculpture with room for a bottle of wine. Melting into the included base over a period of 6-hours (in a 70-degree environment), the novel wine cooler should (one would hope) last a lot longer than that bottle of wine it is meant to chill.
