Why decorative party beverage tub make a good gift

  • It doubles as a serving piece, so it looks at home at backyard parties and holiday dinners.
  • It frees up fridge space by holding drinks on ice right where guests gather.
  • When it is not party season, it can hold flowers or plants or be used for storage.

What to look for

  • Check how many bottles and cans it holds against how many the recipient usually serves.
  • Look for a drain plug or spigot so melted ice can be emptied without tipping the tub.
  • Check whether a stand, lid or bottle opener comes with the tub.

Questions people ask

Will a metal beverage tub sweat or leave water rings?
Water can form on the outside when the tub is full of ice. A tray, mat or stand underneath helps protect tables and decks.
Can a party beverage tub stay outdoors all year?
Many can stay outside in the warmer months, but storing one indoors over winter helps prevent rust and fading.
