Tiny bit pricey, but a very useful, funky addition to any cocktail bar!

"The use of this item is to hold various items and food garnishes that you would normally see in a cocktail bar and struggle to keep tidy namely fruit pieces, straws, umbrellas, napkins, and the like.

In summary, it does a great job! The lid is clear plastic so you can see all the colourful garnishes inside. In fact, use a variety of colours for extra looks (lemons, limes, cherries and orange slices work nicely!) The lid is a little fiddly, not such that it falls off, but the way it opens and closes sometimes means you struggle to get it upright to stay open, but this is relatively minor.

The left compartment holds standard cocktail napkins (good pack of 100+) and the right compartments hold all sorts of gubbins such as straws and stirrers. I only have straws and umbrellas so it's pretty dominated by those, but the possibility is there. I find the wider compartment on that side holds umbrellas on their side quite nicely.

All in all if I was to pick any fault it would be the price. £30 is quite a bit for essentially a funky box with a chrome finish and plastic lid, however it is very useful and looks the business when filled up. Plus think how much better it is not having fruit pieces and straws littered everywhere! I would certainly recommend this item if you're serious about being tidy during a cocktail party!"
