So close you can smell it – summer, sun, BBQ's, picnics and parties. We have gone a little Mad thinking about this – it’s been a long time coming this year so while waiting we have created some truly funky, fun and festive party themes. Mad hatter tea party and a pirate treasure party. We hope you will feel inspired and are able to create your own fantastical events and perhaps invent some other great themes when looking round our newly sourced products. There is now no excuse for not creating a party in all the colours of the rainbow, be it fruit themed, teatime, earth friendly or otherwise

As always you will find oodles of great recipes – this season linked to our party themes.

Over the following weeks we will be adding picnic packs and some super ideas for picnic snacks. Also keep a look out for stationary from aliroo, green pioneers and some superbly stylish eco friendly cocktail and canape party accessories and tableware. We will keep you posted in our seasonal newsletter on any new features.

New products

We have added over 20 new products. Take a look at the stunning eco garlands and rosettes that not only are bio-degradable but also are made from recycled paper by artist Liz Cadd and are only available through 2 UK outlets.

We now have balloons, and lots of fun bits to compliment our tableware range. No excuse for not making teatime fun and festive now.

And for those balmy Summer evening spent with your friends, family and kids, why not indulge in a Best of British trivia game. At £3.50 it is a fraction at the cost of a world cup ticket but loads more fun!

More news to come later in the Summer when we bring you some cracking ideas for table decoration and table settings using what you might find in your garden and maybe a few of our new products. Join us in crossing toes, fingers and anything else you can think off to cross, for a super sunny Summer.

What else is left to say but sit back, enjoy the sunshine, dig the veggie patch, mow the lawn or whatever takes your fancy in the beautiful English months of Spring and Summer.
