BBM feels your anguish and indecision, so we’ve come up with a list of the top 10 summer party essentials, which will give your do that little extra ‘oomph’ that it needs!

The Cooler-Embedded Counter
There’s not much worse than a warm beer. Thankfully, the cooler-embedded counter, designed by Nelson Byrd Woltz Landscape Architects, will keep your beer cool in a trough filled with ice on the bench you’re sitting on.

The Indoor Firework Lamp
This quirky little lamp gives the illusion of fireworks on your ceiling with different coloured LEDs. Just turn off the light and turn on the lamp to add a fun futuristic atmosphere to your party.

The Solar Soji Lantern
For those of you who are eco-friendly, the Solar Soji Lantern is a great party accessory to light-up your garden. Just hang them up during the day so they can charge up for the evening.

The Bottlehood Upcycled Glass Cups
This is another one for those who care about the environment. Bottlehood take used wine, beer and spirit bottles and turn them into glass cups. The perfect addition to any summer party!

The One-Handed Bottle Opener
Designed by Kebo, the one-handed bottle opener is quite a neat little thing to have out at a party. With a burger in one hand, you can use the other to open your beer. Perfect.

The Liquor Filled Fruit
This one will impress your mates. Simply hollow out a watermelon, or a similar fruit, and then attach a spigot. Then just fill with a spirit or punch of your choice for a fun and fruity party accessory.

The Beer Tracker Bottle Opener
This little gadget basically just counts how many beers have been opened during the night. When checked the following morning, you’ll know for sure why your head is hurting so much.

The Kegstand
If you’re throwing the kind of party where someone’s likely to bring a keg, you probably need the Kegstand. You can even wheel it around and rest you drinks on it.

The Hillbilly Drink Stand
The design of the Hobo Tin Can Beer Holder is simple and is sturdy enough to hold your beer. All you need now is a wife-beater.
