I grabbed Bungalux contributing editor Andrea Rapke for help on pulling together a July 4th must-have list for your barbeque or party. Within about two seconds Andrea had picked a handful of the coolest things I hadn’t heard about. I don’t know how she does it, but take a look at the best in disposable dishware, your own island, and everything in between.

  1. PARRLUXXE SEA CABANA:

    Just because you didn’t start Oracle doesn’t mean you can’t have your own island too. And look at the bright side: At $35,000 it’s much less than Larry Ellison paid for part of Hawaii. (Which was rumored to be around $600 million.)

  2. BAMBU DISPOSABLE DISHWARE:

    The eco-friendly and cool way to avoid the dishwasher.

  3. GOVINO SHATTERPROOF DRINKWARE:

    The eco-friendly and cool way to avoid the dishwasher Part II.

  4. PANDORA:

    Playlists at parties are dangerous. Who knows exactly what’s on that iPod of yours? (I really don’t listen to Carly Rae Jepsen, really, how did she get on there?) So, Pandora instead! A few of our favorite stations: Gotye, Led Zeppelin, Jimmy Cliff, Old School Hip Hop/Rap, 80’s.

  5. ANTHROPOLOGIE CITRONELLA CANDLE POT:

    Keep insects off the invite list with the very sweet (pun intended) Anthropologie Citronella candle. (After all, we all have enough pests in our lives. If we don't text you back after four incoming texts we probably won't.)

  6. FUEGO ELEMENT GRILL:

    This suggestion comes courtesy of one of our readers and we hate stuffing this in a Top Ten list. It deserves its own article and may get one. For now, suffice to say we think it's on of the most beautiful line of grills out there and we are OBSESSED. Thanks, Dennis.

  7. BLACKBIRD ARRIVISTE ROSE:

    Our favorite light outdoor entertaining wine. And the perfect hostess gift because Blackbird wines have fantastic labels.

  8. B SWEET CATERING:

    Why cook when you don’t have to?

  9. FLAMELESS PILLAR CANDLES:

    Real is always better than fake (goes for body parts, flowers, and friends), but why spend your time changing out votive candles when there are options like these?

  10. Great friends:

    No holiday party's chic without 'em.
