15 Chip & Dip Bowls & Platters That Are Perfect For Hosting This Festive Season

This chip and dip bowl is easy to clean, and since it's made of wood, even if someone drops it while passing it around, it won't break. Plus, we love how there are two compartments on each side for two different types of dips. And the price point is a steal deal, as rough-and-tough serveware like this one is always worth the money for bustling Indian homes.

A win-win? We think so!

Another wooden chip and dip platter, this one's got our eyes purely because of its versatility, sophistication and practicality. It's large in size, so you don't have to refill it again and again, and even the size of the dip bowl is decent enough to hold a generous amount of dips and sauces. Additionally, the dip bowl is made of ceramic and is removable, so you can clean both parts easily. 

What To Serve: Jalapeno poppers, nuggets, momo, mini samosas, chips and sour cream, wings and hot sauce

While there's a lot to love in this platter option, what really stood out to us was its sectioning. You can easily put different types of snacks in just one platter and serve them with the same dip. The printed detail makes it perfect for hosting, and the bowl is removable so you can easily clean it too. Just remember to be careful with the cleaning, since it's made of wood. 

What To Serve: Nachos, chips, nuggets, mini samosa, fries, and hummus and pita

Inspired by Pink Blossom, this one by Amalfiee Ceramics is my favourite on the list and not only because it's pink. The dip bowl has a unique placement that is not something you see in your usual chip and dip platters. It's abstract, trendy and yet minimal enough to not take away the attention from all the delicious food you serve in it. 

What To Serve: Chips, Nachos, fruits and veggies, mini samosa, wings, fish fingers and fries

Bring on the spooky vibes with this Gibox's uber-fancy chip and dip platter.

What To Serve: Since the platter is extremely quirky, opt for fun snack options that can go well with it. 

Right on point with a cowboy theme, this hat-shaped chip and dip platter is sure to get you many compliments. It's whimsical, stylish and reminds us of the time when Ted Mosby was asked to design a similar hat-shaped restaurant (How I Met Your Mother reference). The design combines fun with functionality and is perfect for themed night get-togethers or movie nights. 

What To Serve: Nachos, chips, fries, spring rolls, momos & wings

Made of finest mango wood, this platter by Jaypore aligns beautifully with the modern Indian aesthetic.
