Packing up post-picnic gets a lot easier when you can throw away the dishes. But don't use flimsy paper plates: These disposable, 100% organically-grown bamboo plates are so beautiful, your guests won't even realize they can toss them out at the end of the meal. Best of all, the plates biodegrade within 4 to 6 months. They're available in three different sizes, and you can also get matching utensils. $6 to $12 for packages of eight at BranchHome.com.
