Those of you with a penchant for design led homewares will probably go into swoon mode while browsing the Lifestyle Bazaar sale section.

Three wonderful windbreaks

Lucy — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 11:00:09 +0000

A windbreak is a handy item to take along on a camping trip. Not only will it protect you from the elements, it extends your living area and affords you a bit of additional privacy. Here are three of our favourites. First up is The Reefer Sail Company’s upcycled version, £99 for three panels. Each of the company’s products – from bags to cushions – are made from rescued boat and windsurf sails, kites, paragliders, hang gliders and microlights and you can ‘trace your sail’ on their website. Watch out for a post on their amazing children’s deckchairs soon.

Meanwhile, over at Folksy I uncovered this vintage floral fabric delight by Nellie and Eve. Priced at £40, it’ll give any plot a touch of Carry on Camping chic.

If you fancy something a bit more modern, Camping with Soul’s tongue-in-cheek Dry Stone Wall windbreak, £43, is the one for you. They also have a Laurel Hedge version and some amazing bell tents and super-glam accessories you just have to check out.

Glamping: Wales

Kat — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 09:00:17 +0000

While we’re taking a look at camping this week it’s not all about back to basics. This continues round ups focusing on the more comfortable option of Glamping.

Fforest is more like a hotel than a campsite. With a range of different camping options and even stone croglofts for those who like a little more between them and the elements it has everything you could possibly want. The camping options are a nomad tent which has two bedrooms, geodesic domes (pictured above), threepi and bell tents. Each option has a covered outdoor kitchen and eating area and are all raised on a wooden platform. The dome would be my choice and boasts a king size bed as well as two single futon mattresses. The dome is designed for year round living and the camp kitchen and eating area are suitable for all areas. They offer a range of land, sea and river activities as well as activities for older children. The site is located in Cardigan and provides easy access to the surrounding coast.

Cae Wennol Yurts in North Wales comes recommended to us by reader and friend of the site @SewBertie who enjoyed a stay with her then one year old. A small site with only two yurts sleeping 2-4 and 6 respectively. There is a rustic kitchen with stove, BBQ, oven and hob and covered eating area. The toilets are composting and the showers and on site water are all from their own natural spring (very Timotei advert). With plenty to do in the surrounding area and the owners are on hand to point you in the right direction.

Yurt Holiday Wales is located 700m above sea level in the Cambrian Mountains. For the stunning location and views alone it is worth consideration. With Buzzards and Red Kites flying overhead and the mountains laid out before you this is the kind of place my Dad would have taken us as children. Accommodation is in either a yurt or bell tent both of which have access to solar powered showers and composting toilets. All water on site is from their natural spring. This is the option for those of you who love to be isolated and are just itching to get out walking in the mountains.

Trellyn Woodland Campsite in Pembrokeshire offers traditional camping pitches as well as yurts and tipis. The campsite is situated close to gorgeous beaches on the St Davids Peninsula which enjoys Cornish style weather. The site offer bushcraft courses and there is lots to do in the surrounding area including Folly Farm. If you want to get out on the water there are dolphin and seal watching trips or you could take a boat to Ramsey to see the Puffins.

Ikea Duktig Play Food Now in Stock

Kat — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 15:00:05 +0000

We have received reports from several readers that the new range of play food is in stock at stores around the UK. It still isn’t showing on the website but we are reliably informed that each set costs £5.99 a piece. Word is that folks are loading up with all four when they see it so if you want it I say swoop now or it will be one of those items which is never in stock when you visit. I am certainly tempted to brave Ikea ASAP despite it being the holidays!

Thank you to everyone who took the time to get in touch, we appreciate your dedication to cool hunting.

Natalie — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 13:00:32 +0000

Amongst the bargains I spotted half price Dwell Studio cot bedding sets including sheet, bumper, and quilt for £55 as well their towels now £15 plus blankets, tote changing bags, and bib and burp sets. Roald Dahl and Quentin Blake fans will spot the half price canvases (now £55), bargain lampshades, as well as half price chests of drawers. Also check their seconds section where there are some gems including their very contemporary Tribeca cot which is £385 instead of £550 as it has some ‘minor handling marks’.

Natalie — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 12:00:47 +0000

Graham and Green specialise in contemporary furniture and accessories and currently have up to 70% off in store and online. Put aside some serious clicking time as there are reductions across all of their categories with a hell of a lot of temptation for every room in the home. The kids sale section is titchy but I saw melamine cups now £3.87 down from £5 but only in blue or red as well as the Union Jack Wigwam was £99.50, now £69.65, plus I noticed that there was lots of divine melamine kids gear in the kitchen section so basically go forth and hunt!

Chiconomy buy: folding camping chair

Lucy — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 11:00:43 +0000

We all know how much little people love to copy their mums and dads, so this mini multi-coloured version of the traditional folding camping chair is sure to be a massive hit. It even has a drinks holder for a sippy cup. At £3.98, it’s also an absolute steal and I have it on good authority that it’s not particularly flimsy. From Wilkinson (I know! Who’d have thought?).

Natalie — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 10:39:13 +0000
