1. Magic Fire
An inexpensive but effective product to keep at home for any outdoor occasions you may have, this colourant elevates any back garden bonfire to something a bit more magical. An ideal buy for families, as it's set to be a treat for kids, experience enchanting colours for up to 40 minutes, and transform an ordinary (and let's be honest, boring) campfire.
This is also a perfect buy if you can't, or don't want to, set off fireworks from your yard, as it still brings awe and colour into your evening, without any loud bangs.
2. Extra-Big Sparklers
Sparklers are a non-negotiable for me - it's Guy Fawkes, you need sparklers. And these beauties are a great choice, at 16 inches they're larger than your average store-bought sparklers, and this Amazon set comes with 100 of them for under £30.
A great way to keep you and your loved ones entertained all night - and a great addition to any Insta-ready photos - these sparklers are a perfect way to enjoy the 5 November from the comfort of your own home, without needing to launch any rockets from your patio. With no noise and no mess, these beauties are also safe to use indoors, making them a prime choice in case the weather turns.
3. Firework Controller
I don't know about anybody else, but my least favourite part of Bonfire Night celebrations as a child was my dad lighting the fireworks by hand, it took ages and it isn't exactly safe. That's where this gem is a must-have - because nothing spoils a fireworks display like having to run back and forward to light the next set with matches.
This little device does it for you, simply wire up your desired fireworks and step back - with 8 different modes, you can time and control your fireworks from a distance, thanks to the remote control, and experience a professional-looking firework display in your own back garden. Plus, it's significantly safer.
4. Anxiety-Prevention for Dogs
Shop here for £21.49, and £13.99
Perhaps the worst thing about watching fireworks go off is the effect it can have on our housepets - specifically, our little pups. Dogs can get very anxious and uncomfortable as a result of the loud noises - and, as loud as we think the fireworks sound, they're ten times louder for our furry friends. So, this Guy Fawkes, take some affordable steps to ensure your dog is a tad more comfortable and relaxed, regardless of any neighbourhood displays.
Anxiety jackets can help ease your fur baby's stress levels, be it through fireworks or thunderstorms, especially if you can't be at home with them. For £21.49, this jacket promises to help manage your pet's anxiety, helping to reduce their discomfort through the evening.
Another great product to grab, that promises to help keep your pooch calmer, is this dog snood - which will help muffle some of the noise and offer some relief to your pup, making Bonfire Night more enjoyable for the whole family.
5. S'Mores Making
Shop here for £49.30, and £22.95
Don't fancy building a fire in your garden, or don't have the space to safely do so? No worries, this tabletop fireplace is a must-have for any tiny yards, balconies or no outdoor space at all. A little bit pricier than the other items on this list, this is an ideal pick for families looking to treat their kids to some s'mores as they sit back and watch the fireworks.
Using bio-ethanol to fuel it, this portable fireplace is perfect for cooking your go-to campfire snacks without needing to burn any sticks. Lasting from 2 to 4 hours, this gem comes with protective side panels to stop any little hands from getting too close to the flames. Completely smokeless, and with no horrid smell of burning, this device is the perfect addition to any outdoor, or indoor, space for whipping up some toasted goods.
Thinking about making s'mores this bonfire night? Why not grab this luxury set that has you all set for any ingredients you could possibly need to whip up some marshmallow goodies?
