The serious business of having fun

Holidaying is a serious business. You spend most of your time working or doing the school run so when you get two whole blessed weeks to yourself, getting it right matters. Don’t get caught short without the essentials this summer, take a look at our travel essentials range and get the serious stuff done now so that you can concentrate on having fun when you get there.

Not too big, not too small

How much time do you spend considering your luggage? Realistically, not a lot but the right case can make or break a holiday. Cabin luggage has to be small enough to fit in the overhead compartments, large luggage has to be big enough to get everything in. It’s an exact science. Thankfully, we’ve thought of all of it and have a range of suitcases in a variety of sizes that will ensure your holiday starts off just right.

Beach beautiful

The humble beach towel is kind of a big deal when you think about it. It keeps the sand off your freshly-lotioned skin, it bags you a spot by the pool, it saves your place when you go for a swim. Don’t get all the way to the beach and realise you’ve forgotten the most important thing! Take a look at our wide range of beach towels and prepare to relax.

The weekend bag

Are you having a cheeky weekend away with the BFFs? Maybe you’re planning a romantic getaway with the other half? If you don’t need a whole suitcase, then check out our range of overnight rucksacks and weekend bags, perfect for the short getaway.

Airborne napping

Flights all seem to be so early these days. If you could do with an in-flight nap, then invest in an eye mask and travel pillow to ensure you get your 40 winks before the holiday officially starts.
