If you feel like you're forgetting something, cut yourself some slack because it happens to the best of us. Check out this roundup of game day must-haves, so you can make the most of your next tailgate.

A Table

Obviously, a table is essential for a tailgate. I'm not reinventing the wheel with that general suggestion. If you do not have tables already, I'm going to suggest getting this one because it's different than the norm. It's a dry erase table, which means you can use markers for games or to decorate for a specific occasion. Plus, it is really easy to transport because it folds up and it has a handle. It comes with four markers.

This table has 2,800+ 5-star Amazon reviews.

If you only have a small lot for your tailgate, here's another fun option. This two-part portable beer pong table really comes in clutch, plus it comes with a backpack, so it's easy to transport. You can bring the party anywhere you go. This will really come in handy if you're going from one tailgate to the other.

This table is great for the griller in your group. It's lightweight and comes with a carrying case. It has hooks, a paper towel holder, and plenty of space for grilling essentials.
