If you love music, mud and Mother Nature you’re probably heading to a camp site at some point this summer. But why take shelter in some dull, conventional tent when you can recreate the Summer of Love in the hippie-tastic VW Camper Van Tent. Officially licensed, this stunning four-man tent is a full-size replica of the iconic 1965 Volkswagen Camper Van synonymous with 60s counterculture. It’s so evocative you can almost hear the Mamas and the Papas singing California Dreamin’ every time you feast your eyes on its beautifully breadloaf-ish form. Indeed we half expected Mama Cass to tumble out when we first saw this groovy Vee-Dub. You’ll be the envy of the campsite!

VW Camper Van Tent
But there’s more to this highly realistic pretend hippie/surfermobile than mere good looks. Just like its vehicular counterpart you can stand up inside – handy if you don’t fancy crawling around on your hands and knees. What’s more, its fabric roof and sides are 3000mm and 1000mm respectively – mighty impressive! It has two zip-separated double-size rooms, allowing couples to sleep/spread the love in private, plus an outer section. All together now, ‘If you’re going to San Francisco, be sure to take your Vee-Dub Camper Tent…’ Available in Peppermint Green, Red, and Blue.

BBQ Branding Iron Have you ever fancied branding your meat? Course you have. It’s worth it just to hear that strangely satisfying ‘phsstt’ sound. Most branding irons are only capable of scorching pre-determined symbols onto burgers and steaks. Not so the flesh-searingly brilliant BBQ Branding Iron. With fifty-two letters and eight blank spaces, this ingenious aluminium branding iron allows wannabe cowboys and cowgirls to customise their food with whatever message they fancy, from ‘Nice Rump’ to ‘Dead Meat’. All you have to do is simply arrange the letters, lock ‘em in place and shove the iron in the barbie. Then when it’s nice and hot brand your message – phsstt! Use it on steaks, chops, chicken, burgers or even tofu. Put on your cowboy hat and heat your iron! Thanks to two lines of text and a whole heap of letters, the possibilities are (almost) endless: ‘Happy Birthday’, ‘Road Kill’, ‘McTasty’, Eat Me’, ‘Vegans Suck’, ‘Crime Scene’, ‘Hot Stuff’, ‘Medium Rare’,.... the list goes on! Perfect for adding a personal touch to all kinds of nosh, the BBQ Branding Iron is set to become every barbecue fan’s favourite novelty utensil.
The Magic Wand Your sw ish is l o r t n o C e t my command! Remo Utterly astounding, this beautifully crafted gizmo looks like the kind of thing you might find in Diagon Alley. The difference is you use it to control your telly, Sky, digibox, stereo or any other infra-red device via various abracadabra-ish gestures. Simply swish, whirl and flick to change channels, adjust volume and much more. Incredible! What did Katie and Peter do Next? *ZAP!* Who cares? Your swish really is its command.
Totally button-free, the Wand can ‘learn’ up to 13 infrared codes from your existing remote(s) and fling them into the ether when you perform one of 13 predefined gestures. It’s a kind of magic. Okay, it isn’t, but making Vernon Kay vanish has never been such fun. Silencio Imbecilicus! You can assign various functions to various moves: flicks to turn on and off; spins to control volume; big swishes to mute and so on. You’ll be flicking just for the fun of it. Better still, rival wizards will be unable to mess with the telly or digibox unless you show them your moves. Hocus flippin’ pocus! To add to its supernatural nature, the Wand also features a ‘heartbeat’ in the form of various pulses that confirm gesture recognition and tell you when the batteries are low. It even goes into sleep mode after 60 seconds of inactivity and ‘wakes’ when you pick it up. It’s just like having a real magic wand, only you won’t have to wear a cloak or marry Debbie McGee. Magic! 76
