The gold foil-flecked fruits atop these playful party picks are merely a suggestion. But get creative and pair the watermelon picks with tomatoes and mozzarella, the lemon picks with cucumber and feta chunks and the apple picks with melon balls. The pineapple picks are more than happy to match up with pineapple chunks if you like to play by the rules. Any which way, fun will be had.

Though Meri Meri’s brand has grown exponentially since founder Meredithe’s early days as a mom making cards around her kitchen table in L.A. in 1985 (“Meri Meri” is actually her childhood nickname), the designs have stayed true to their original style. Functional and down-to-earth with just the right hint of flair, they appeal to both kids and adults, brightening up any occasion–even when the occasion is just a Tuesday night.

Everyday use is encouraged too–”picky” eaters might find these the answer to all of their (your) woes.
