Cosy home upgrades: ZOKU cocktail ice sets and BioLite solar lights
ZOKU cocktail ice sets and BioLite solar lights for cosy homes

Two new product launches promise to make homes feel cosier, whether hosting friends or preparing for a blackout. New York brand ZOKU has unveiled its Cocktail Ice Sets, which create chunky, slow-melting decorative cubes designed to keep drinks colder for longer without watering them down.

ZOKU's decorative ice sets

Shoppers can choose the Daisy set, which makes 2-inch flower-shaped ice balls, or the Crown set with King and Queen crown cubes. Both come with matching lowball glasses in “party in a box” gift packaging, priced at $29.99 (£25.6).

The high-quality, food-safe silicone molds make ice cube release easy and mess-free. The sets are designed for cocktails, mocktails, and events like “girls' night in,” adding sophistication to any occasion. Both sets are packaged in ZOKU's signature gift packaging, making them suitable as presents or for the holiday season.

BioLite expands solar lighting

Meanwhile, BioLite has expanded its solar-powered home lighting range, bringing back the popular Luci inflatable lanterns and solar string lights under the BioLite name for everyday ambience and emergency peace of mind. The refreshed lineup includes the waterproof 75-lumen Luci Original Lanterns, now sold in Matte, Clear, and Color finishes, with up to 24 hours of runtime.

The Luci Charge Lanterns and Solar String Lights allow users to store and save power, keeping essential mobile devices charged while providing illumination. The lighting joins BioLite's existing solar products, including the BaseCharge Solar Generator Kits and SolarPanel 100.

The solar lighting launch coincides with the introduction of the new SolarHome 625, a crossover product that allows global off-grid users to light rooms, charge phones, and access FM radio all through solar power.
