Entertain Guests With Balancing Act

If makers of the new Tip N’ Grip Tray are to be believed, you should be able to amaze guests with this stain-defying feat: Carry the Tip N’ Grip stacked with dirty dishes up a flight of white-carpeted stairs--after two margaritas--without spilling a thing.

Claiming its permanent nonslip surface (even when wet) will prevent dishes, glasses and cutlery from sliding to the floor, creators of Tip N’ Grip say the tray is made for risky serving situations, from breakfast in bed to cocktail, pool and patio parties.

The dishwasher-safe trays ($19.99-$29.99) are available in a rectangular shape in white and granite finishes, or in an oval shape in cream, black, red, yellow, blue and nautical designs.
