Two Fridays ago, we hosted a press event for our mums and dads. With Kenny the vintage VW (our festival van) being so busy during the summer months, it was so difficult to get a date in to organise this. We are so blessed that one of our favourite stockists Queens Park cafe “Park Cafe” partnered up with us to bring all the lolly love on one of the hottest day of the summer!

We brought our Kenny the lollimobile just in time for Pride London. He’s a rainbow camper van with the best personality ever! We loved having him there for the launch of our new packaging.

A huge thank you to our wonderful stockist and friends at Park Cafe - Queens Park. It’s our local and they’ve supported our journey the last few years… and especially open their arms and welcomed us to their cafe when we changed our packaging from plastic to compostable. Thank you for your support!!! Check out the lovely ladies with our cool Pineapple tattoo ;)

Our lolly lovers absolutely loved the arts and crafts corner. We had lolly colour pages available as well as a lolly making corner.

We love having our lolly lovers parked on our CUSTOMER PARKING seats. It’s literally the best place to be when cooling down with one of our ice lollies.

Thank you to Graciele Cirrales (instagram @graciela__corrales) for bring her two cuties to the event! Their favourites were the Strawberry Banana Smoothie and the Mango Raspberry Swirl ice lollies.

If we had to choose one thing about the event that we loved more than anything was meeting our cutie pie lolly lovers. A lot of them (we’ve known for years) and seeing them all grown up into older toddlers has been so amazing. They’re so smart and so curious. We love how they call the lollies a “LICKALIX”! We appreciate and love you all so much.

The Lolly Book - 50 Fruity Recipes created by the chief lolly makers at LICKALIX Karis and Dominic Gesua

Doddle Bag - These amazing bags are perfect for mums and dads who like to make their own foods and purees for their babies and toddlers. Their design is great for small children to hold, visually appealing for adults, dish washer and hot water safe, reusable and recyclable (sustainability is amazing), and freezer friendly. We love Nadine and her love for making parents’ lives easier but also making the process of weaning, eating and drinking fun for children. These little Doddle Bags have so many different uses, please check out their website in the link above.

Virtue Drinks - These drinks are perfect for the parents who need that extra boost of natural energy.

Seed Snacks by PEP & LEKKER - Pep and Lekker’s new super tasty organic savoury seed snacks are a solution to those who love snacking but can’t have all of the nasties that are in crisps nowadays. Their nutritious seed snacks are perfect for on the go and to share with the whole family.

Lio Bits - We met Anna at IFE earlier this year and it was so great to speak to her about why she started LioBites. Her little snack bags are so healthy and fun for kids. The fruit crisps are freeze dried and 100% natural with no added nasties.

Percol - We are HUGE fans of percol Columbian coffee. We wanted to include these coffee bags into the goody bags because Percol has now gone PLASTIC FREE with their packaging which is absolutely amazing. Their coffee is fairtrade and it’s the perfect start to the day. We know that our lolly lovers’ parents need all the help they can get.

Supertreats - Healthier chocolates with 100% natural ingredients for the whole family to enjoy.

Pulsin - These protein bars are made with natural ingredients, increasing your protein intake but enjoying a guilt-free snack that tastes amazing.
