This stainless steel and non-slip plastic self-balancing tray manages to somehow be both absurd and brilliantly practical. The website asserts that using this “allows you to open doors, shake hands or serve the contents of the tray”—all without slopping beverages around! Oh, it really is such a bother to carry party drinks on a conventional tray whilst opening doors, etc.
Still, I am not sure I could bring myself to break this out when hosting a party. Unless maybe it was a garden party. But of course we have servants to pass beverages at those. [$60]

That is awesome. By moving the center of gravity lower and placing the support above you have a much more stable tray.
Think of it like this, imagine if a helicopter had the blades on the bottom instead of the top. Which is more stable? That’s the same thing that makes this a great idea.
