| Ellie Burel |
When social media editor Magdaline Duncan moved to New York City after growing up in rural Missouri, she found herself missing the joys of a good barbecue. Enter: this 18-inch grill.

Best of all, Maggie says there’s something meditative about doling out hot dogs for her friends. “Modern day troubles can’t find me when I’m at the park with my grill,” she says. “I am fully focused on this ancient task, cooking food under the open sky for people I love.”

Why not treat your fellow partygoers to a selection of delectable ice cream sandwiches? You can’t go wrong with the classic old-school type, but you’ll really blow everyone away if you bust out something zanier — like a refreshingly zesty key lime pie ’wich.
Plus, a handsome cooler to keep all your ice cream, well, icy→
