During a recent trip to Target I spotted these fun, colorful dishes. They’re too bright for everyday use but they make the perfect alternative to paper for a summer barbeque or pool party. Yes, they’re more expensive (a set of four dinner plates, dessert plates and bowls will set you back about $75) but it’s a one-time cost. The bamboo dinnerware is dishwasher safe, eco-friendly and just so much cuter than your average Dixie.
