Hands up, how many of us buy paper plates for the aesthetic value? That may change with these “It’s Not Paper!” melamine plates, which, thanks to their dishwasher- (but not microwave-) safe construction, can go from picnic to birthday party and back again without so much as a crinkle. They positively crush the real thing when you load them with baked beans and potato salad, too.
$20 per 4-pack from The Afternoon.
