Be the MVP of your Super Bowl Party with these must-haves, starting at $5

Red plastic Solo cups? I think not! Your crew deserves better this year, so grab this set of aluminum party cups that Amazon shoppers give 4.7 out of 5 stars. Not only do they keep drinks colder for longer, but they're also good for multiple uses and recyclable. 

"My dad loves these aluminum cups," one reviewer wrote. "He likes that he can pre-chill his cup in the freezer before he adds his drink to it, and that they also chill the drinks faster in the fridge. They’re very sturdy and reusable."

If you're already stocking up on cans of beer, spiked seltzer and soda for your festivities, then you'll want a few of these can coolers on hand as well. They not only help keep beverages frosty but also eliminate the need for a coaster. According to the product description, the "dual-walled vacuum insulation prevents sweating, wet hands and protects against water stains on tabletops." Genius, right?

A little on the nose? Yes. But should that stop you from buying these football-shaped plates? Absolutely not! People who've purchased them give them rave reviews for their size and durability. 

"I definitely recommend these plates to anyone throwing a football party! They were a huge hit with our guests not only because of the fun design but also because they were very large and sturdy," one fan raved.

Another added, "Very good plates. Sturdy, I could even use them twice if I wanted to. Big size is very comfortable for adults."

Guests will get a kick (ha!) out of noshing on cheese, meats, fruits and crackers from this sporty board. It's currently the lowest price it's been in over a month, so don't miss out.

And if you're worried about wasting money on an item you'll only use once, you'll be happy to know this item is reversible. One side looks like a football, but the other side is blank so you can use it as a party platter all year round.

Super Bowl party, but make it chic! Sure, you could toss chips in any ol' bowls you have handy and just leave the dip jars open on the table, but if you want your spread to feel a little more sophisticated, this set is the way to go. 

This shopper noted that both pieces are "substantial" and that the "dip bowl is removable." 

I'll be the one to say it — no one likes eating from a plate sitting in their lap. It's uncomfortable, it's a mess waiting to happen, just no. If you're planning to have folks eating on the couch while the game is on, invest in a few of these convenient folding dinner trays where people can place food and drinks. According to reviewers, the tables are sturdy and stable, and they fold flat when not in use for easy storage. See all five options.

When it comes to prime-time viewing, the speakers on your TV are probably not up to par. If you want quality audio, invest in a soundbar.

Yahoo tech editor Rick Broida put tons to the test and named this Sony model the best budget option. He says it's easy to set up and "offers a nice soundstage for both music and movies."

Need a fun way to get the party started? Create your very own Hot Ones challenge before the game gets going with this 10-pack that includes flavors like Ghost Pepper Pear, Arbol Scorpion and Ninja Napalm. Just be sure to have milk on hand and a top-tier prize for the guest who can handle the most heat.

If you don't have an air fryer, you're not ready to host a Super Bowl party. All the best game day foods — wings, fries, cheese sticks and more — can be cooked in this countertop gadget, so don't invite people over without one.

Yahoo home editor Kristin Granero named this Ninja gadget one of the best all-around air fryers thanks to its extra-large capacity, dual cooking function and user-friendly display.

Hate to break it to you, but no one really likes sitting on wobbly, folding chairs. If you want to make your guests feel extra comfortable — and have the space to spare — now's a great time to score a plush sectional on sale. This Wayfair pick is currently 41% off and comes in four colors. 

"This couch really surpassed my expectations. It’s more comfortable and big than I thought it was going to be," one fan raved. Another added, "For our TV room, [this couch is] perfect."

OK, most trash bags probably won't elevate your gathering, but they're still an absolute essential — and this one comes in a pleasant citrus scent. 

With guests and food, a garbage pileup is inevitable. These Hefty bags are sturdy enough to handle large loads, including paper plates with sharp edges and even liquids.
