It's December, and everyone’s telling you what to buy for the people on your list. But our shopping list is focused on you – with ways to make your holiday get-togethers more memorable than ever.

Best of all, these little beauties aren't disposable, like the holiday plates, napkins, and greenery you buy each year for a single night or week. Give yourself a gift that keeps on giving, all year round.

Finally, don't forget about the cleanup. iRobot's newest Roomba vacuum is so cute it could even join the party! Just program it to stay away from hard- to-navigate areas or your party’s crowded gathering spots. Or let it out for a no-fuss cleanup after the last guest has left.
