The sun’ll still be out this weekend (hopefully), so make sure you’re prepared to throw a party.

Stay Young at Heart
Bring back the carefree days of childhood by challenging guests to a game of rounders (£25) followed by a homemade slush puppie (£50). Invest in a Zoku Quick Pop Maker (£40) and you can make fresh fruit ice lollies in less than ten minutes.

Drink to Good Health
Give summer cocktails an edge with a slightly dangerous, icicle-shaped ice cube (£16). Avoid spills with a nifty wine basket (£17) that carries six glasses at once. Distract unwanted visitors with a glass honeypot wasp catcher (£5). Don’t worry, it won’t kill any bees.

Brighten Your Day
Flo Stripes Glass platters (£28) are cheery and virtually indestructible (dishwasher-, heat- and shatterproof). The two serving forks are built right into the modern Hands On salad bowl (£30), meaning you’ll never lose your utensils. Finally, don’t let an ugly trash bag ruin your party; collect rubbish in a cheeky goldfish bin liner (£10).
