Ice Invaders

We do love our novelty ice cube trays! One little silicone tray provides many happy hours of drinking entertainment.

Alien shaped are the perfect choice for ice cubes. They're complicated enough to be interesting but simple enough to hold together as little chunks of ice.

This is our fav ice tray at the moment - Ice Invaders. One ice tray spits out 24 little aliens just like you used to shoot down at the arcade. Gives any drink a lovely retro feel, it doesn't have to be Cinzano or Babycham!

Frozen Smiles

Hmmm toothy! A slightly different take on the novelty ice trays that keep us entertained while sipping our favourite beverage. This ice tray produces two realistic sets of dentures instead!

Probably not the type of ice you'd serve up for Granny, but very entertaining to give friends a drink with a set of false gnashers floating in it. I think it would look particularly fetching in a tumbler with G&T and a slice of lemon.

The pink colour of the tray is exactly the same colour as denture cream, which is a nice touch.

Bonechillers

It seems that strange and novelty shaped ice cubes are all the rage these days. An ice cube that's actually cube-shaped is really very unusual indeed now you can get ice trays that'll turn boring old frozen water into all sorts of things: ducks, fish, mice.

This ice tray really caught my imagination. I've got a bit of a soft spot for pirates and the idea of serving up little frozen skulls and crossbones tickled my fancy. Just the thing to have with drinks on the poop deck - Arrr!
