Why we like it
The Hario Mizudashi Cold Brew Maker is one of my best secret hacks for making summer hosting easy. It takes just a few minutes to get a one liter batch brewing by loading up the basket with ground coffee. After that, I leave it in the fridge overnight and wake up to excellent cold brew that costs a fraction of buying it premade at the store. It's the perfect refresher to serve on warm afternoons.

Why we like it
Admittedly, this one is a smidge over $25, but the payoff is well worth it. Instead of dealing with the struggle of swatting flies and even bees away from your table when dining outside, get the help of the Fly Away Repellent Fans. A two pack at Amazon comes in at $25.91. The fans use reflective blades made from a holographic material that keeps flying insects away. But the blades are soft and flexible enough to not cause harm should a hand get in the way. Fly Away says the two fans are ideal for tables of up to six feet, and they use AA batteries, so they're easy to replace.
