By Sponsor on Sep 10, 2017 5:00AM

From the adult version of a sippy cup to a "Star Wars"-inspired ice mold.

Got champagne taste on a boxed wine budget? You can still have the swankiest home bar in town for under $25 thanks to these eight budget-friendly bar accessories we've rounded up, so pick your poison and scroll down to learn how to turn yourself into the host with the most — money, that is.

1. Eravino Wine Decanter

While cutting-edge stem technology ensures that all Eravino Wine Decanters are crafted with balance, clarity, tonal quality, and heat-resistance in mind, each vessel is unique in aesthetic because they're individually handmade from single pieces of crystalline glass. You can be confident that your favorite wine will shine in this sophisticated decanter, whether it's that $100 vintage Pinot Noir you've been saving for a special occasion or a $3 Merlot from the corner store that you picked up after a rough day at work.

Sale price: $19.99, 66% off the original price of $59.99. Buy it here.

2. BLOXX & Sveres Jumbo Ice Trays

You know you've (finally) moved beyond your Jungle Juice-drinking college years when you upgrade your barware with a classy ice cube tray. The large, slow-melting cubes you can make in the BLOXX & Sveres Jumbo Ice Trays will give your beverages Don Draper-worthy style without diluting their flavor.

Sale price: $14.95, 25% off the original price of $19.95. Buy it here.

3. Millennium Falcon Ice Molds

You'd have to be a Sith Lord to hate these silicone Millennium Falcon Ice Molds, which are capable of turning regular old hydrogen dioxide into miniature versions of the ship that made the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs. Chewbacca gives them five out of five "AAARRAAGHGHWRRR's".

Sale price: $9.99, 33% off the original price of $14.99. Buy it here.

4. The Original Whiskey Ball: 2-Pack

The Original Whiskey Ball melts slower than standard cubes because it's got more volume and less surface area, keeping your nightcap nice and cold without watering it down. After freezing water in the flexible molds for about four hours, you'll have a whole night's worth of ritzy cocktail accents that will have your friends wondering if you moonlight as a mixologist. 

Sale price: $14.95, 25% off the original price of $19.95. Buy it here.

Prevent such tragedies from happening to you or your loved ones by snagging a Stainless Steel Double Walled Wine Glass, a lidded, kitchen-grade cup that will keep wine safe, sound, and fresh for hours while you're busy savoring the remainder of summer.

Sale price: $21.99, 45% off the original price of $39.99. Buy it here.

6. BOS Mugshots™ Set of 4

Here's one type of mugshot you'll actually want to get.

Price: $10.99. Buy it here. 

8. Man Card Bottle Opener: 2-Pack

Masculinity may be fragile, but the Man Card Bottle Opener is anything but. Made of stainless steel to prevent your wallet and its contents from bending, this heavy-duty piece features a saucy, mustache-shaped slot that can crack open just about anything.

Sale price: $19.99, 22% off the original price of $25.90. Buy it here.
