The holiday season is just around the corner and that means a lot of parties are on the horizon; enter the no spill tray. Dubbed Grip, it provides a convenient surface for drinks and other items that will stay upright while the server navigates through crowds. Of course, the no spill tray is also helpful in everyday scenarios including outdoor activities and more. After all, spills can happen to even those on their lonesome.
Designed by Texas-based design manufacturer Finell, the no spill tray keeps everything in place with a web of elastic bands. Cups and other dishware are inserted between the bands securely. Available in two shapes (rectangle and circle) as well as two colorways (black and white), the no spill tray is as aesthetically pleasing as it is functional.
