With First Holy Communions and Confirmations coming up and summer just around the corner, it’s time to flex your hosting muscles. From food and drinks to setting the atmosphere, our tech can help you be the host of the summer.
Summer entertainment sorted
Whether you are entertaining kids, adults, or both, having great music with a good speaker setup really helps set the mood in your home. The JBL Partybox Megasound Speaker has rave reviews. It has a powerful sound that fills the room (or house, depending on how loud you go!), is easy to move around and has customisable lights. It has 12 hours of battery life to keep the party going from day ‘til night. Use the mic input for karaoke mode, or if someone has a guitar, there is an input for that, too!
Or go a step further and get a dedicated karaoke machine, which kids and adults will have great fun singing their hearts out! The Easy Karaoke System is great, as it’s small enough for easy storage, rechargeable, and comes with two wireless microphones – perfect for recreating some iconic duets. It has a multi-LED light show, fun echo and pitch effects and a companion app with thousands of free HD-quality songs.
Cool for the summer
While we may be a nation of tea drinkers, when the sun is out, you can’t beat an iced coffee from a smart coffee machine. Add a new beverage to your line-up with the Salter Iced Coffee Maker. This allows you to easily make hot or cold coffee over ice without worrying about measuring. It works with ground coffee or with coffee pods, and you can choose from three strength levels. You can add your own syrups to get your coffee to your liking.
Iced coffees, soft drinks, and some not-so-soft drinks all require ice, especially if you are lucky enough for it to be a warm, sunny day. The Daewoo Ice Cube Maker will keep your guests cool throughout the day. It can hold up to 600g of small or large ice cubes and stops once it is full, which you can keep an eye on thanks to its transparent lid. Once the ice level starts to run low, it will automatically make more small ice cubes, so you never run out. It is small enough to move around and has a self-cleaning mode when you’re ready to store it away.
Summer barbeque master
We are all manifesting weather nice enough to dine al fresco. If you don’t have a barbeque for your garden, this is your sign to invest. The Weber Compact Kettle BBQ is a fantastic barbeque to get into the world of grilled meats and veg. It has a 57cm chrome-plated cooking grate, so you will be doling out burgers to your guests in jig time. Its adjustable air vents let you easily control the temperature, and its removable ash tray means cleaning up takes minimal effort once your guests are gone.
