In the spirit of tradition, the machine creates a unique 'firework display' by shooting colourful bubbles into the sky with four multicoloured lights in the background.
According to reviews, it’s pretty good value for money too. One customer wrote, “Tons of bubbles that go about five feet into the air. Beautifully mad and worth every penny.”
Another five-star review reads: “This is just brilliant. My son went nuts when I put it on haha, the house was full of bubbles - he loves it.”
A third summed it up nicely: “Just like a little fireworks fountain, but with bubbles.”
If you're keen to get your hands on the Fireworks Bubble Machine everyone is talking about before the big night, it's currently available to buy on Amazon for £13.99. It also comes in a butterfly and UFO design, depending on what you're after.
