Create your very own maze of liquid with these DIY Straws – surely the most enjoyable way to share drinks since that weird arm-linking manoeuvre they do with champagne in the movies. You know the one. Anyway this mammoth 40-piece set is full of different lengths of straws and various connectors so that you can construct the most elaborate of routes for your cordial to travel on. If you’ve got friends over and only one glass (any students reading will be familiar with this situation) then just whack out the DIY Straws! Even if you’ve got more glasses than the Queen Vic there’s no better way to use them than filling them with the most colourful drink you have (as you can see we went for cranberry juice) and sucking the living daylights out of them. Slightly batty but all the better for it.

Water fights eh? Remember them? A perfectly fun way to muck about in the summer shooting each other with lovely refreshing water and having a good old laugh about it. WRONG. Forget what you think you know about water fights soldier and get ready for some serious aquatic combat! This Water Pistol Vest set contains two target vests and two water pistols (which are pretty darn powerful it has to be said). The difference is though that scoring a direct hit on these vests actually causes the victim to bleed! Well maybe not actually bleed but some clever thingamajig in the vest material means that water shows up in red on the target which as we all know means that you’ve been got. It takes the idea of a standard water fight to the next level as instead of just mercilessly pummelling each other with water the object is now to avoid being hit yourself. The winner is the one who has managed to lay waste to their opponents without getting a single speck on themselves. With pistols as accurate and far-reaching as these that’s an awful lot harder than it sounds. So turn your summer into an all-out offensive manoeuvre with this great excuse to run around shooting your mates and covering them in fake blood. Wonderful.
