Party ideas for teens
If your teen is having a party or sleepover we have plenty of ideas and tips for putting on a night to remember, just don’t forget to bulk-buy the earplugs....
Discover our top tips and recipes for making the night as painless as possible...
Mocktails & slushies
Give your teen crowd a cocktail maker and let them shake it like a polaroid picture. Our fresh and fruity mocktail recipes will leave them feeling giddy without a hint of alcohol in sight. For extra wow-factor put some berries, sliced fruit or edible glitter into an ice cube tray and freeze. Serve with cocktail umbrellas, crushed ice and Morello cherries for full effect...
Watermelon & strawberry slushie
DIY movie night bar
This is really simple to create but looks great and is sure to cause excitement.
