Abstract: A beverage system is disclosed. The system includes a container that can be filled with a liquid. The container includes an opening and a recessed portion. The system includes a lid removably engaged with and sealing the opening. The lid includes a first end removably engaging the opening of the container. The lid also includes a second end that opens and closes to allow access to the contents of the container. A screen member is positioned between the first end and the second end. The screen member allows liquid to pass therethrough and prevents solids from passing therethrough. The system also includes a packet of freeze dried fruit material removably received within the recessed portion of the container. The freeze dried fruit material can be added to the liquid to flavor the liquid.

Abstract: A serving tray may include an open-sided tray body and a plurality of bands. The tray body may include a tray bottom and at least one side wall projecting from the tray bottom and defining a wall perimeter, wherein the tray bottom and the at least one side wall define an open space above the bottom and within the wall perimeter. The plurality of bands may extending at least partially across the open space to form a band pattern spaced apart from the tray bottom, the band pattern dividing the open space into a plurality of subdivided areas. The band pattern may be configured to maintain the relative positions of items, e.g., glasses, bottles, dishes, condiments, etc., received in the subdivided areas.

Abstract: A set of convertible placemats includes a plurality of similarly shaped placemats. Each placemat may define a perimeter shape including at least a first side and a second side opposite the first side, wherein the first side includes a first complex edge pattern including multiple curved or non-parallel geometric features, wherein the second side includes a second complex edge pattern including multiple curved or non-parallel geometric features, and wherein the second complex edge pattern is geometrically complementary to the first complex edge pattern, such that the second complex edge pattern geometrically mates with the first complex edge pattern of another one of the placemats when the two placemats are arranged side-by-side with the second complex edge pattern abutting the first complex edge pattern. At least a subset of the convertible placemats may be arranged side-by-side in a row to form a table runner.
