In case you hadn’t noticed, it’s officially holiday party season. Whether you’ve got those fancy work shindigs coming up (you know, the ones where you have to remember which fork to use) or you’re brave enough to host your friends at home, we’ve got your back — thanks to TikTok.

If you’re like many of us who can barely boil water but still want to throw an Instagram-worthy gathering, don’t worry — we’ve found a genius hack that’ll make you look like a hosting pro, no cooking skills required. This one is in regards to helping guests keep up with their cocktail glasses or mugs.

During any event, managing drink identification can be a challenge — hosts often find themselves torn between using their “good” glassware and dealing with the inevitable confusion of whose glass belongs to whom. While plastic cups might seem like an easy solution, they detract from the elevation one wants to give off during the gathering, and the prospect of guests constantly searching for fresh glasses can be frustrating for any host.

The Case For Glassware Charms

Content creator Michelle Lei offers a smart solution with her charm station concept. This creative setup, positioned strategically near the beverage area, features small bowls filled with an assortment of rings, letter charms, and decorative trinkets. Guests can personalize their drinks by creating unique charms attached to stretchable wirestring, making their glasses instantly identifiable throughout the event.

This thoughtful approach serves multiple purposes: it prevents unnecessary glass waste, reduces dishwasher loads, and gives guests a memorable party favor. The charm becomes a practical keepsake that can be reused at future gatherings, making it both sustainable and meaningful.

In our humble opinion, this is the top-tier idea that any host would want to implement for the holiday season.
