QVC's Summer Essentials Sale Makes Summer Hosting Easy – These Are the Best Deals to Shop Right Now

We're big fans of the Ninja SLUSHi here at Homes & Gardens. Chiana Dickson, our Kitchen Appliances Editor, says 'The Ninja SLUSHi has become my go-to for surviving recent heatwaves. It requires no pre-chilling or extra ice - simply pour in your liquids, press start, and you have a refreshing slushie in no time at all. It has quickly become a favourite with my guests, too, making my home a hub for hosting all season long.' This may be a small discount, but it's a discount on a much-loved popular product nonetheless.

Currently listed at a Black Friday Sale Price, don't wait until winter to get your hands on a stunning KitchenAid Artisan Mixer; make the most of the summer deals instead.

An excellent discount from the blender powerhouse brand Vitamix. Summer is peak blender season, from delicious smoothies and shakes, to sauces and dips, it's a hosting essential in our eyes. This deal also comes with a handy recipe book.

Looking for a more portable, compact grill for a smaller yard? GreenPan has you covered with this electric grill. Indoor or outdoor. Grill or griddle. Stand or tabletop, this versatile design can become the center of your summer cookouts.

If you're looking for a bigger, family-style grill, then the Pit Boss Grill Smoker could be the find for you. Featuring a wood pellet grill, the spacious 540-square-inch cooking surface provides plenty of room to grill, smoke, bake, roast, and sear.

A grill shovel is a BBQ must-have in our eyes. Perfect for bringing food from the grill to the plate with ease, it makes summer hosting that little bit smoother and easier when cooking for a crowd.

A simple yet elegant way to upgrade an outdoor summer table or drinks station, this drink dispenser features a 1-gallon cold beverage dispenser, bamboo holder, and four 20-oz drinking glasses, and comes in a variety of playful patterns.

If there's one hosting rule we swear by all year round, it's having plenty of beautiful serving platters. Not only do they look great on a table, but they're also a practical way to carry and serve food to your guests (you can never have too many platters in our opinion).

A stunning sale find, these beautiful pink and green petal glasses are part of Lori Weitzner's Ode to Color collection. A gorgeous addition to a summer table, the designs establish a wonderful sense of occassion.

Whether you're hosting and have a mountain of leftovers, or you're a guest bringing some delicious home-cooked goods to a party, you will need to be able to store and transport your food with ease: enter this impressive storage dish from LocknLock.

Just like serving platters, you can never have too much food storage! These pie carriers are, of course, great for pies, but they can house all manner of leftovers and treats, perfect for picnics and BBQs.

Ideal for housing chopped salad, dips, and more, we love that these beautiful bowls can be brought from kitchen to table and work wonderfully as part of your table decor (which saves on dishwasher space, so what's not to love?)
