Today ,Firebox announces the arrival of the Peppermint Green VW Camper Van Tent. Last year ,we featured the original VW Camper Van Tent when Firebox launched the full size replica of the legendary 1965 camper van to worldwide acclaim. This brand new addition to the range will surely turn heads across festivals this summer as mint green is set to be the summer trend. Say goodbye to dull, conventional tents and be make your friends green with envy.
This is the ‘tent that thinks it’s a camper van.’ It was ,claims Firebox, the retailer’s most successful product launch when brought to market last year.
Officially licensed, the four-man tent is a luxe, full-size replica of the legendary 1965 VW redolent of 1960’s hippies, surfer dudes and boho culture. Not only is the tent large enough for campers to stand up in but it’s incredibly sturdy and brilliantly weather proof too – with a 3000mm fabric roof (British Military grade is only 800mm) and 1000mm thick fabric side.
Firebox says: “The latest, perfectly-on-trend, Peppermint Green tent version of the 1965 VW Camper Van is expected also to be a hit and join its colourful companions across festivals and campsites this summer.” It will enable you to enjoy the long held tradition of open road and open sky camping with the VW global brand. At 299.99 GBP, it looks good value for all Summer long.
As the 1959 Jerry Keller song says : “Here comes Summer.”

Good design will often come back into vogue. Classics can often return with tweaks made from current technology.So it is with the Polaroid Instant Digital Camera.
After second -half 20th century success, the Polaroid click and instant print camera seemed in the 21st century to have irretrievably lost its market , and production of cameras and film was closed down. Now there is somewhat of a renaissance and the Z340 is back and provides all the former ‘cluncky’ build for a solid handhold. The new camera looks in good retro style, but on rejoining the age of digital photography it has up to date refinements, including the crop-and-edit pop-up LCD to avoid wasted photos, and the use of clever zinc paper which provides 3″x4″ instant prints which are water resistant and smudge free.
You can read more about this remarkable instant camera at the firebox website. Competitively priced,and firebox.com is offering free delivery.

A blast from the past that is very much still of today is the long running hit British TV series: Doctor Who. The series continues, and the number of fans grows and grows. This is a true retro novelty,if that is not a contradiction in terms.
As you relax with a nice cuppa tea and reflect on your life, you can hold a cupful of nostalgia with the Doctor Who TARDIS Mug. As with the real Tardis ,it holds more than you think.
A beautifully finished mug that you can use , or just treasure. If you use it, you are entreated to remove the lid!
This item could be that special present you are looking for this Christmas for yourself ,or a Dr Who fan. To read more you can go to the firebox.com where this and other quirky but fascinating items can be seen.
