Party at Home correspondent Party Bob introduces us to a few products that will make the next tailgating party a comfortable and luxurious experience. - This folding chair from Brookstone is lightweight and occupies very little space when folded (figure A). It sells for $20 and provides comfortable seating during the pre-game festivities right through to the victory celebration.
- When you don't want to tote a huge cooler to keep your cans and bottles cold, try these innovative cooling sleeves, Brookstone's "Rapid Ice" (figure B). Simply place the sleeve in the freezer for 5 minutes and it is ready to keep your can or bottle refreshingly cold. Wine sleeves are $5 each, and can sleeves are 2 for $5. Folds flat for convenient storage.
- Also from Brookstone, selling for $20, is this pump-action wine bottle opener (figure C). The cork is forced out as the plunger forces air into the bottle through a long needle piercing the cork. A companion wine spout and cap, an additional $5, allows you to enjoy your favorite beverage without any untimely spills.
- These salt and pepper shakers, available in Colonial Garden's Kitchen catalog at $4.95 a pair, feature a moisture-proof, air-sealed flip-top (figure D).
- All your picnic needs are met with this basket from Brookstone (figure E). It contains plates, cups, napkins, silverware, and a matching tablecloth for just about $100.
- Inside the game, keep your backside cushioned with ultra-padded seats from Brookstone. Named "The Tailgater" and priced at $40, this set contains a satchel with side pockets holding 1 cushion each (figure F). Inside is an ice pack to keep beverages cool as you cheer on your favorite team.
- The Gott cooler by Rubbermaid features a cup dispenser sidekick and costs about $30 (figure G).
