House Party Essentials

While the declining temperatures and darkening days of Autumn mark the end of al fresco fun in the summer sun, they also herald the start of the house party season proper: Guy Fawkes follows hot on the heels of Halloween, and once the anarchy of Black Friday and Cyber Monday have been safely traversed, you're staring down the festive barrel of Christmas and New Year entertaining quicker than you can say bah humbug! 

Fortunately one of our company mottos at Lucky Voice is 'Live happy. Spread happy' and with that in mind we've compiled a list of house party essentials to make sure your next shindig is one the whole street will remember.

Snacks


Fun snacks are a great way of distracting from the fact you aren't actually very good at cooking. These seasonal showstoppers will get tongues salivating and wagging in equal measures...

Halloween

Halloween Lychee Eyeballs


These creepy 'eyeballs' are crazy easy to make: just poke a blueberry into a lychee and add a liberal douse of red food colouring or raspberry jam to create a spooky snack that's relatively good for you. 


Guy Fawkes

Toffee Apples Fireworks Night


No matter what age you are, toffee apples are the absolute bomb diggity. These chocolatey gems are a doddle to make, and with a few sugar stars sprinkled liberally on top, a great Guy Fawkes Night gobstopper.

Christmas

banana santas


These bad boys are a superb secret weapon in the arsenal of parents trying to trick their kids in to actually eating fruit over Christmas. Just pop a lolly stick through half a banana, a marshmallow and a strawberry, chuck on a bit of facial detailing with chocolate and a red M&M and you're good to go. 


Entertainment


It's always good to have a spot of entertainment ready to distract unruly children/grandparents and navigate lulls in conversation...

Weird Things Humans Search For

Weird Things Humans Search For


Weird Things Humans Search For is a hilarious and relatively PG (14+) party game where you are given the beginning of a Google query and have to complete the search term aiming at the most-searched answers. For example, humanity has excelled itself by completing the search term 'Can a fart...' most often with the two words 'kill you'. Eat fewer beans people!
