Simple summer pleasures

Zuku (zukuhome.com) is a brand that brings a serious sense of design to one of summer's simple pleasures – ice pop preparation. These fish pops will make a great gift and include a shark, clownfish, octopus, whale, puffer fish and even a scuba diver shape. The sticks contain drip guards and have "skeleton" sticks that reveal themselves as the pops are eaten. You can also mix and match the fish tails for fun and surprising results. A set of six costs €25.95 at Brown Thomas (01-6056666 brownthomas.com), Dublin.
