Everything you could possibly need for drinks in the sun!
In this weather, you’d be well advised to drink plenty of fluids (alcoholic or not, its up to you), relax and enjoy it while it lasts.
To that end, we’ve found some great gadgets so that you have the perfect drink to enjoy while you bask in the sun.
You’ll be in need of some light, portable, insulated cups, whatever you are drinking. How about these portable wine glasses from Firebox?

To me, warm summer days ask for fresh lemonade and lots of it. You could try Firefox’s homemade lemonade kit, complete with retro bottles, or a packet mix or even whiz up your own from scratch. You could serve it in cute paper cups with funky straws, or in a fun jug, like this one from Sainsbury’s which we used on our recent trip to France and Spain.
