Need to welcome guests and offer them drinks at the same time? The one-handed serving tray will come in handy. With a handle that flexes out at a 55-degree angle, the tray's designed to always remain in a balanced position when the handle's in use. The tray's surface also has a non-slip rubberized surface for extra stability and, apparently, can be used to carry not only drinks and food but even a full bottle of wine.

I've never been very good with trays myself, so this sounds like a godsend, even though the angle of the tray handle looks a little awkward to carry around at a party. But I guess physics can't always be stylish. At least the handle can be folded away when it's not in use, so that the tray can be stored flat.
