25 Indoor Fireworks

It’s a tradition for us to do indoor fireworks as a family as we remembered some real damp squibs from our youth. I purposefully googled ‘disappointing fireworks’ but these were anything but! The serpents were huge rolling turds much to our delight and the sparkler style rockets were really impressive. Terrible smell, hard to light and smoke alarms set off too. A real bargain and a hilarious treat to watch. We stuck them in to the metal tray our pigs in blankets came in and did them on the hearth-this resulted in pools of fat accumulating on the tiles which of course added to our inebriated hilarity. Can not recommend these highly enough to people who know what indoor fireworks are typically like. (I’ll give you a clue-nothing like outdoor fireworks!) Absolutely made our Christmas this year, which otherwise could also have been a damp squib 😂

These are a little underwhelming, the snakes alive one was the best. I thought these were fantastic for kids though. The kids could get involved with the fun snaps and it even included sparklers. The 'fireworks' didn't emit loud bangs or large sparks so it was less intimidating for them and they could get more involved which I thought was great.

Good selection of fireworks. Excellent value for the price. The cobras were amazing and all fireworks worked well apart from one. They kept a group of 5 adults entertained for almost an hour after a good meal on 4rh November. No sparks on furniture and we found the couple that needed to stand in sand were equally good being placed in half a potato!

I have always loved indoor fireworks (when allowed to). I have bought these many times - the miniaturisation and amateurishness are all part of the fun and magic. But it is time to protest a little. The 'Showtime Eruptions', always the highlight before, both failed to ignite properly this time; too many pastilles look too much the same; the Bengal matches tend to snap if the igniting strip is used (in one case this Christmas, charring a hole in the dining table); the Smoky Joes are less satisfying than Puff the Magic Dragon, who could be propped up and blew smoke through his nostrils, with a little arranging. And the cobras - a fascinating effect, but needing on average five Cook's Matches before they catch; these things have been around since at least 1865 (see the diary of William Allingham on a visit to Alfred Tennyson!), so by now it ought to be possible to coax them more efficiently into action. I'll keep buying the pesky things, no doubt, as a ritual - but really, their manufacturers should sharpen up their act.

The box was damaged on arrival and so a couple of the tablets had snapped in half. Trust me though that even if they had been intact they still wouldn't have set the world alight with excitement. In fact this is the kind of thing that makes the perfect booby prize for a losing quiz team. If you've got money to spare go for it otherwise don't bother.

This is the second time I've bought these indoor fireworks and my family used them on Christmas day.They are really good fun. So bad that they're good!! and caused a lot of laughter in a break between turkey and Christmas pudding.There is a good selection - my favourites were the snake, which really is gross and the roman candles.All the family enjoyed them from 12 -80 years old so I think it's money well spent for entertainment that can be enjoyed by all.

If you're from my generation, you'll probably remember indoor fireworks as a child. At point later they were banned from sale ('elf n safety). Now they are back (well they have been for around 8-10 years now)! They are as crap as ever, fill the room with acrid smoke, not recommended for anyone with respiratory conditions and they still delight the family with oohs and ahhs at the sheer disappointment.That said, always leave the infamous 'snakes' till last, cause they are awesome!10 minutes of childlike joy at Christmas

Purchased these for a significant birthday for my husband. We lit them on an old floor tile on the patio table in March. They were rather smokey so would have played havoc with the smoke detector inside the house and two of the children's asthma. There was some lovely colourful flames that were likened to an science experiment in the lab at school. The curly worm firework was found highly amusing by everyone. Great fun and value for money.
