Hosting is fun… until you check your cart.
Eco-friendly barware? ₹3000 for one glass.
A platter that doesn’t look like it came from your mom’s crockery set? Out of stock. Again.
And suddenly, your bar corner feels more like a jugaad zone with plastic plates from last Diwali, a random mix of old glasses (some gifted, some... mysterious), and one steel ashtray that’s seen too much.
Sustainability shouldn’t be this complicated. Or this expensive!
You deserve better, and so does the planet.
This blog is your cheat sheet to bar accessories that don’t cost a bomb, don’t wreck the earth, and definitely don’t blend into the background. So, if you’re tired of boring setups and overpriced sustainable bar accessories, this one’s for you.
8 Budget-Friendly Bar Accessories That Are Good for the Planet
1. Palm Ashtray Wooden
Ashtrays are usually an afterthought until someone asks, “Where do I put this?” mid-conversation.
Our palm ashtray is made from natural wood. It absorbs heat and hides ash mess better than steel ones. It’s biodegradable and break-proof.
It quietly blends in like that one friend who never drinks but never misses a party. Even non-smokers can use it for incense ash, cocktail stirrers, lemon wedges, or peanut shells.
2. House Party Serving Tray
Our house party serving tray has quirky party words and icons printed all over it, including “Vibe Check,” “Beer,” “Snaccs,” “Dance,” and even “Last Peg Promise!”
Its handy cutout handles make it super easy to pass around drinks (or rescue a friend who can’t handle tequila).
It won’t crack or give up on you mid-party like cheap plastic ones. It’s sturdy, solid, and ready for all the drink rounds.
3. Godfather Whiskey Glass (set of 2)
If you love your whiskey neat and your glassware sleek, this set is your go-to.
These glasses are heavy at the base and feel like the kind of thing a mafia don would quietly sip from while making important decisions. They're dishwasher-safe, eco-conscious (no plastic in sight), and built to last longer.
This Godfather whiskey glass set is perfect for date night, solo sipping, or impressing the friend who only drinks single malt.
4. Rangeela Shot Cart (thela) with 6 Shot Glasses
Inspired by Indian street carts, this colourful little thela rolls in with full drama & comes with six shot glasses. It reminds you of candy vendors, soda bottles, and that one gola guy who’d always park near your school gate.
This Rangeela Shot Cart is made with eco-friendly wood and metal, it’s not just a cute party prop. It’s durable, reusable, and built to last through birthdays, housewarmings, and spontaneous Thursday nights that turn into 2 a.m. karaoke.
5. Beer Test Beer Mug
If beer mugs had personalities, this one would be the meme king. Each beer test beer mug is printed with popular internet slang and text-message lingo, such as “LOL,” “BRB,” and “FOMO.”
And unlike plastic mugs that end up cloudy or cracked, this one’s made of durable, recyclable glass that looks good and feels even better.
6. Bath Tub Platter for snacks and desserts
Why serve chips in a bowl when you can serve them on our wooden bathtub platter?
Is it practical? Surprisingly. Is it adorable? Absolutely. Is it the most clicked item at every party? 100%.
This mini bath tub platter is perfect for serving everything from finger foods to desserts. The quirky design makes even the simplest snacks feel special. The curved design keeps things in place (no flying chips), and the wood gives it a natural look that’s perfect for Insta shots.
7. Milestone Tissue & Toothpick Holder
You know those iconic Indian road signs you spot on hill stations and highways?
This milestone tissue paper holder reminds you of those road signs. It keeps your tissues, toothpicks, and tiny napkins all in one place so they’re not floating around the table like lost guests. It’s every road trip, every dhaba stop, every "Maggi milegi kya?" moment reimagined for your party table.
It’s a total throwback to road trips, roadside chai, and dhaba memories.
8. S.F.K Cutlery Stand
Made from durable, eco-friendly materials, it’s the kind of piece that keeps your setup tidy.
While everyone’s busy Instagramming the bathtub platter or the shot thela, this sleek S.F.K cutlery stand quietly does its job. It keeps your forks, spoons, stirrers, and fancy bamboo knives in one stylish spot.
Its minimal design makes it a seamless fit for any bar or dining table. With this on your table, everything looks sorted (even if you’re not).
