Dress Fittingly
Show the guys you're serious by looking the part. Start with a printed mitt to keep that manicure in tact, not to mention keep your hands cool while cooking. Choose from exotic kimono prints, florals or a very BBQ-ish checkered print.

An apron may scream June Cleaver, but face it, that sundress needs to be protected from a marinade mishap. So cover up with a festive mixed print apron just in case.

Gear Up
The best barbeques start with a great grill. He'll experience grill envy when you roll out a sleek stainless steel cooker with special chambers that provide even heating, and there will be plenty of storage for those must-have-on-hand spices and accessories with a patio sideboard. Then show off your flair for flipping steaks with a set of heavy-duty utensils.

Start a marinade war with Mod Bods Marinade or stake your claim with the Animal Magnetism Steak, both from the 'Dressed to Grill' Cookbook, packed with health-conscious recipes for grilling greatness.

Set an inviting table with bright and durable melamine dishes. Mix and match for maximum style and fun.

Turn up the heat with a scorching hot, perfectly pink cook's torch to put the finishing crust on cr me brulee and other gourmet goodies.

When the cooking's over, cover up that grill with a fashionable, whimsical cover that's both fun and functional. Choose from an array of stylish prints, stripes, tropical and other themes for a final touch that shows you've thought of everything.

Drink It In
Hot food, cold drinks. There's no combination that's more appealing, so be the belle of the ball with ice cold beverages. A chic party tub colored in go-with-everything red and white is large enough to keep all your libations frosty.

Finally, stir him up with a margarita maker that's not your mama's blender. This baby shaves ice for smooth results, and even channels melting ice away from the frozen concoction to ensure every drink is party perfect.
