If you’re planning on some BBQ action this Fourth of July weekend (and let’s face it — it’s basically unpatriotic not to), then we have a host of super-fun accessories to bring some geeky goodness to your gathering.
From prep to grilling, right through to condiments and serving gadgetry, we’ve got some party peripherals that should put a smile on your guests’ faces.
If you enjoy witty product design that doesn’t take itself too seriously, then take a look through our photo gallery and let us know in the comments which items you’d like to see gracing your garden this Independence Day.
