BRING THE GAMES OUT

With everyone together, grab the chance to swap the screens for some games. Try classic cards or backgammon, go retro with family favourites, such as Monopoly or Scrabble, or try something totally new. For grown-ups, we love At Home: Sherlock’s Cocktail Experience, where you toast solving the missing detective's cases with three cocktails per person, supplied with the game, £35, thegameisnow.com. Or for little ones, Make Your Own Fairy Tale: Hansel and Gretel is charming, £12.99, laurenceking.com.
