9 Party-Prepping Products to Make Game Day Easier

Super Bowl LVIII is just over two weeks away, on February 11, and there's still time to plan the ultimate party and make it a game day to remember. Whether you're more interested in the commercials and halftime show, or you're planning to watch with your whole fantasy league, the NFL championship game is a good excuse to get everyone together. To get the ball rolling, we've gathered 9 winning picks to score a party touchdown.

Cooler: For starters, you'll need a solid cooler to keep your beverages cold or to stash those surprise bottles of champagne once the champions emerge. We tested this standard, hard-sided Coleman Chiller in our lab and think it's a great price for the amount of storage you get. It's not only durable (it can withstand inclement weather), but it accommodates 48 quarts, which means you can store up to 39 12-ounce cans of Modelo, High Noon, or Ghia.
Chip and Dip Set: Super Bowl Sunday is all about the food, like classic chips and dip. To make it easy, set up your game day appetizer in this sturdy porcelain serving set from Amazon. With a center compartment made specifically for dip, this 12-inch serving dish works well for just about any pairing. Think ranch dressing with veggies or chips and salsa.
Slow Cooker: If your guests are clamoring for hearty chili or mac and cheese, you'll want to stock up on this 7-quart, stainless steel crockpot. While you're off getting your game face ready, you can slow cook your best recipes and keep your dishes warm. Grab this Crock-Pot kitchen workhorse now—while it's on sale ($38, Orig. $50)!
TV Trays: If you lack enough tablespace, consider shopping for portable trays, like these metal-framed ones from Amazon. For less than $55, you'll score two trays that fold up easily once game night is over. They're the perfect solution to keep your spicy chicken wings and a plate of loaded nachos right next to the couch.
Ice Maker: You don't want to run out of ice before halftime, so now might be the time to invest in a countertop ice maker. I'm eyeing this one from Euhomy, a TikTok favorite. Equipped with an auto-cleaning feature, a 1.2 liter water tank, and an ice scoop, this machine churns out a fresh batch of bullet ice in just six minutes—fast enough to keep up with party demand and easier than stuffing the freezer with bags of ice.
Themed Party Supplies: How cute are these football-themed paper food baskets and football toothpicks? Pretty darn cute in my book. Serve hot dogs, mini sliders, or a slice of cake with these individual food trays and party decor. Whatever you do, your guests will quickly get into the spirit.
Food Baskets: Save yourself the hassle of having to make everything on your own, and order specialty foods, like brisket sliders, deep-dish pizza, or crab cakes, from the competing team's city. We spent hours testing (and loving!) the food baskets from Goldbelly, which happens to be having a perfectly timed Game Day sale.
Outdoor Projector: This year the game will be played at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. If you're also based somewhere with warm weather, an outdoor projector is easy to set up and enjoy the game (and Usher's halftime show!) in the comfort of your backyard. This 5G projector from Amazon, which we tested, comes with a screen and connects to your phone via Bluetooth, making it easy to use. Plus, it's on sale for just $70 (Orig. $110).
Photo Accessories: Capture the memories with your own Instagram-worthy images by stocking up on these adorable, football-themed photo props. That way, you can remember your favorite team winning and celebrate Super Bowl Sunday in style.
