According to data, more babies are born in early autumn than at any other time of year – which means birthday season is officially upon us! Time to start planning something special.

Whether you’re organising a party for a little one or simply love a good celebration, what better way to bring your party to life than with our beautifully hand-decorated biscuits – available in themed party packs of ten.

Here are five brilliant party themes to help wow your guests:

1. Roarsome Dinosaur Adventures

Perfect for dino-mad kids, a dinosaur party is always a hit! Think green and brown decorations, prehistoric games, and maybe even a mini fossil dig in the garden. You could even add inflatable dinosaurs or a “cave” den made from blankets.

Our dinosaur biscuits come in two bold colours – 5 pink and 5 green – perfect for adding a pop of colour to party bags or your tablescape.

Pair them with a “build your own volcano” activity for full Jurassic joy!

2. Enchanted Unicorn Magic

Bring a sprinkle of magic to your child’s birthday with a dreamy unicorn theme. Soft pastel colours, sparkly streamers, and a little bit of glitter go a long way. Add in some fairy lights, tulle table skirts, and a magical soundtrack to set the scene.

Our whimsical unicorn biscuits are as enchanting as they are delicious – complete with rainbow manes and golden horns.

Combine with a unicorn cake and a DIY fairy wand-making station for extra sparkle!

3. Into the Wild Safari

Go wild with a safari-themed party that transforms your home or garden into the savannah. Think animal print decorations, jungle foliage, and plush toy animals dotted around for a real explorer vibe. You could even set up a “passport station” where kids collect stamps for each activity.

Our safari biscuits include a fun mix of lions, monkeys and giraffes – hand-decorated to bring a little jungle magic to the celebration.

Add a scavenger hunt for hidden “animals” to keep the kids entertained.

4. Lovely Llama Fiesta

Bright, fun and a little quirky, a llama party is perfect for creative little ones. Think fiesta colours, pom-poms, tassels, and cacti-themed décor. Add a backdrop of colourful bunting and maybe even a piñata for extra fun.

Our adorable llama biscuits bring all the joy with colourful saddles and cheeky expressions – a real crowd-pleaser.

Set up a DIY cactus pot painting activity to match the theme.

5. Farmyard Fun

There’s something so cosy and nostalgic about a farmyard theme – especially in autumn. Hay bales, gingham tablecloths, and animal noises galore! Add in some straw hats, mini wheelbarrows, and a “milk bottle toss” game for extra charm.

Our farmyard biscuits feature sheep, cows, pigs and tractors – perfect for little animal lovers.

Arrange a mobile farm visit or even host the celebration at a local petting farm venue for the ultimate countryside experience.

With 12 million Brits expected to host street parties across the four-day bank holiday weekend, Alison Hammond was here to share everything you need to know to host a successful street party of your own.

We caught Holly and Phillip enjoying our Jubilee crowns on This Morning as they were showing us some royally inspired foods and drinks to include at your upcoming Jubilee street party. Unfortunately, Alison did not give them a try, but we understand that gingerbread is not for everyone.
These were available to purchase from your local Waitrose for just £1.75!
