Touchdown football shaped serving plates and bowls

You could simply rip open your bags of chips and throw them on the coffee table for your guests, but serving them in bowls and platters makes your get-together feel more like a party. Serving them in football-shaped servingware makes your party feel like you put some thought into it for the Super Bowl. We came across these ceramic football-shaped bowls, serving dishes, and platter while surfing on Amazon.com:

Touchdown Snack Bowl - Serve tortilla chips, potato chips, popcorn, and other snacks out of the microwave- and dishwasher-safe Touchdown Bowl, very appropriately shaped like a football. I love that the bowl's rim has "Tight End" on it. Available on Amazon.com for $19.99.

Touchdown Serving Dish Set - For smaller snacks like nuts, olives or dried fruit (but really, why would you serve dried fruit at a Super Bowl party?!?!) the Touchdown Serving Dish set is perfect. We'll go with nuts and serve roasted salted peanuts in one, pistachios in another, and seasoned almonds in the last. Available on Amazon.com for $19.99.

Touchdown Serving Platter - Pile chicken wings, taquitos, or other hot snacks on the Touchdown Serving Platter. Available from Amazon.com for $24.99.
