Team Approved Glassware + Table Top Accessories for Your NYE

As we’re coming up on the season finale of the lifetime series that was 2021, I’m focusing all my energy on starting 2022 on as bright a note as possible – and given the current state of the world, it looks like I’ll need all the help I can get. So, I tapped the Design Milk team to see what modern tableware and accessories they’ll be busting out to ring in the new year in style. Whether you’re (safely) playing party host, gathering with a small group of your closest friends, or cozying up on the couch to watch the ball drop, these modern, team-approved table top picks will add a festive touch to the occasion.

Extra-Large Ice Cube Tray by W&P

Extra-Large Ice Cube Tray by W&P

“Beyond glassware, nothing elevates a craft cocktail like artisanal ice cubes. This extra-large ice cube tray makes four perfect little glaciers that will keep your drinks cool, letting you sip slowly without your drink getting watered down. The top of the tray is rigid, so you don’t need to worry about water sloshing all over your freezer and then turn out super easily.” — Colleen, VP of Customer Experience

Kronos Double Wall Teacup by KINTO

Kronos Double Wall Teacup by KINTO

“I have always loved double walled drinkware for the functionality of keeping liquids warm or cool and your hands free from the effects. Commonly, this feature occurs in plastic drinkware. Kinto’s Kronos Double Walled Glassware stepped up the combination of function and elegance to use at my dinner parties. These have become conversation pieces at my table.” — Stephanie, Director of Finance

Small Bowl by Fors Studio

Small Bowl by Fors Studio

“In Brazil it’s tradition to eat 12 grapes (one for each month of the new year) as soon as the clock strikes midnight for good luck. These Small Bowls by Fors Studio are perfect for serving everyone their 12 grapes, and they’re great for snacks and small bites too. I’m also hoping the white colorway brings extra luck for good measure!” — Alexa, Commerce Editor
