    23 Things You'll Need Now That Your Mates Are Allowed Over Again

    I feel like it's telling that most of these products have to do with eating or drinking.

    After months of being isolated with me, myself and I, I can officially have people over again and you best believe I'm going to take full advantage of that fact.

    If you, too, are cheering at the thought of fraternising with other humans again — whether it be a dinner party or movie night — here are 23 things you'll want to add-to-cart:

    1. This sushi bazooka, which will make feeding the masses fun and speedy.

    2. This set of flask and beaker shot glasses, because getting cocktails right is basically a science, no?

    3. These Mega Jengo, like the old-school game you know and love, only taken to the extreme.

    4. This brilliant drink peg, ideal for when you all want to lie in the grass but have nowhere to put your bevvie.

    5. This wireless, Bluetooth karaoke mic, because nothing sounds so good (or, as bad) as a group of people singing Bon Jovi off-key.

    6. This decorative banner, which will politely remind your mates that you still have work in the morning.

    7. This cocktail shaker, because once you've had an espresso martini, you just can't go back to drinking cruisers anymore.

    8. This photo printer, so everyone can go home with more than memories of the night.

    9. This Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 2, which will help you set the mood, even if everyone has decided to chill by the pool, away from your TV room speakers.

    10. This bestselling book, Nothing Fancy: Unfussy Food For Having People Over by Alison Roman — for the dinner host who likes to make it seem like they put in more effort than they're actually willing to.

    11. These wine glass markers, which will eliminate the need to ask, "Is this your glass?", time and time again throughout the night.

    12. This LIFX Smart LED bulb, to create a lively or chill environment, depending on the gathering.

    13. This card game, Anomia, which can't help but end with everyone screaming and laughing at each other

    14. This bottle opener and catcher set, which will save you from picking up bottle caps on your hands and knees the morning after.

    15. Alternatively, this bottle opener that let's you shoot out the cap — up to five metres, no less!

    16. This Himalayan salt block, which will flavour and season whatever you choose to serve on it — not to mention, it looks infinitely better than your average plastic chopping board.

    17. This Instant Pot, which will do all the temperature-measuring and timing for you, so you can continue to mingle with your guests.

    18. This wine aerator and decanter, which will give you and your guests the best glass of wine – even though you just picked up the cheapest bottle you could find.

    19. An Amazon Fire TV Stick, which will make jumping from streaming service to streaming service a breeze — because I know for a certainty that you have more than one.

    20. Speaking of streaming services, Greta Gerwig's Little Women is now available from the Prime Video Store, so you should definitely organise a screening.

    21. This microwavable popcorn maker, because they can never add enough butter and salt in packaged popcorn for my liking.

    22. This diamond ice cube tray, which is every bit as extra as your friends.

    23. And these rocking whiskey glasses, which will aerate your spirits without the least bit of effort.

    You and your mates, settling in for the night.
