Patriotic Gear for Your Fourth of July Party
Make your Fourth of July fete extra patriotic with adorable gear made right here in the 50 states.
Hang Time
Add some hipster, homespun sweetness to your decor with an 8-foot felted-wool Gold Stars & Stripes Garland from New Jersey artisan (and sheep farmer!) Megan Benson. $40, etsy.com/shop/sheepfarmfelt
Tougher Tumbler
Aside from keeping drinks cold for hours, the dishwasher-safe Tervis Hallmark USA 16 oz. Tumbler with Travel Lid is practically indestructible. So when the BBQ gets a little rowdy (aka legendary), you won't have to worry about broken glasses. $15 (plus $4 for the lid), tervis.com
All-Stars
Like a pair of blue jeans, American Heirloom's Star Pattern Chambray Cocktail Napkins in Blue go with everything and are printed with a water-based ink for a soft, worn-in feel. $38 for 4, aheirloom.com
Flag It
Flip a burger and salute Old Glory all at once with a Star Spangled Spatula from Areaware. These are nylon, and there's also a heavy-duty steel version if you're cooking on the grill. From $8 each, areaware.com
Stir Crazy
With festive shapes and phrases made up by you (or steal ours, above), Bracket's Star Drink Stirrers and Custom Drink Stirrers just may upstage your boozy punch. $20 for 10 stars, $30 for 10 custom, shopbracket.com
Neat and Tied
Pair Sweetgum's hand-screened Reed Napkins in Terra-Cotta with Mystic Knotwork's blue and navy Monkey Fist Knot Napkin Rings. Both companies' collections are inspired by their New England roots. $34 for 2 napkins, sweetgumtextiles.com; $22 for 4 rings, mysticknotwork.com
Tray Chic
Annabel Inganni designs and digitally prints the Sybil Summer Serving Tray and Cortina Mini Tray herself in her Los Angeles workshop. Wood never looked so good! $68, $38, wolfum.com
Wick-ed Awesome
Can't get home to celebrate? Light a Homesick Candle. Each is named for a state or city and has a scent to match—Florida has citrus notes, Vermont has hints of maple. $30 each, homesickcandles.com
