Ideas for Game Day (plus an amazing hostess gift)

We're back at it today with some fun ideas for game day only this time, in addition to having the cutest ideas for hosting a football party, we also have a bomb diggity hostess gift idea too! So whether you're a die-hard fan or just along to sneak a peek at some buff dudes in action, we have you covered!

Let's get right to the "I'm so smart I brought you this because I want to be invited back" hostess gift- see the "You Scored" tag? That's the genius of the Bettys comin' at you hard!

This hostess gift from Presently Plum includes Homebrew glassware, a humorous book of referee calls, and some other goodies your hostess is going to cheer for unabashedly .

Snack stations at football parties are some of our favorite ideas for game day because if you're hosting, you aren't babysitting adults and if you're a guest, you're not bugging your host about where/what/when you can get your grub on.

These perfect for game day black and white striped snack cups make snacking on the couch easy while being football "themed". Everything is right in the world...

We've shared these artisan small batch cocktail mixers from Iconic Cocktail Co. with you before but we recently had our own little house party (the kind where you have tons of space for entertaining but 20 people all hover in the kitchen area- we think it's because they wanted easy access to the cocktails!)

These are mixers are delicious. Make cocktails with them them immediately. Click here for recipes and more gushing.

Another snack station that just makes so much sense...it's functional and stylish

Now this next thing in our ideas for game day lineup is somewhat mind-blowing. It's a football shaped roll. Even better, a football shaped roll that has laces like a football. Uh huh, we'll give you a minute...

This excellent find is from Eat the Ball and not only do they make the coolest shaped rolls, they make the coolest shaped rolls that are made with good ingredients like sprout mix (we laugh...we don't know what this exactly but we know it's good for you!), spelt flour, psyllium peel...you get the idea. They're not that blechy enriched crap you get at the store that can't hold up to your giant love of condiments.

And finally, if you take one thing away from our ideas for game day, it's that you should have a beverage and a football appropriate t-shirt at the ready...cheers!

Yes, that's just sparkly washi tape applied to a glass to look like football laces- we don't like to make entertaining difficult but we do like to be clever!
