Things to Make and Do at Firebox

We've had some new products on the site recently that allow you to make stuff yourself. This follows the increase in popularity of craft and homemade products- I've been known to knit a few things myself.

Here's a rundown of the latest products you can promote in this category:

Sock Monkey Kit £11.99

 

This great kit contains everything you need to make a sock monkey. It also comes with a great book with instructions for making not just the monkey but a sock elephant, crocodile, squirrel and many more.

Chocolate Making Kit £14.99

 

I've tried this out myself and it's great. Has all the butters and powders you need to create your own chocolate in about 15 mins. You can also get ideas for new recipes online so you can experiment with your own flavours.

Sock Knitting Kit £14.99

 
This kit contains 4 double pointed needles (which you use for knitting round things like socks), enough wool for one pair and a book of patterns. The kit isn't for complete beginners- you'll need to learn some basic knitting stiches first, but it's great for anyone who wants to learn sock knitting.

Cupcake Kit £11.99

 
This kit has proved immensely popular since we put it on the site last year, and it makes a great gift for a friend. It has 250 nice cupcake cases, a recipe book and a piping bag and nozzles for icing. Yum.

Micro trend: Giant Stuff

Big is back and it's in fashion. There's a bit of a trend going on at Firebox for giant stuff. Especially sweets...mmm.

Perfect for Mad Hatter's Tea Parties (the new Alice in Wonderland film is out next week), here's a selection of all the oversized curiosities we have on the site:

 

Giant Chupa Chup £19.99

It's not quite the size of your head, more that of a small child. Strawberry flavour. Random fact: the Chupa Chup logo was designed by Salvador Dali.

 

Giant Gummi Bears £14.99 (medium) and £29.99 (giant)

The biggest gummi bear in the world! Truly enormous.

 

Giant Cupcake Tin £29.99

Bake your own scrumptious giant cupcake.

 

Teacup Plant Pots £24.99

Giant teacups for putting houseplants in. Do not drink out of unless you've plugged the drainage holes in the bottom.

 

Giant Microbes £6.99

Enlarged cuddly bacteria and viruses. Particularly nice is MRSA- it has a cape (superbug, geddit!).

Flying off the shelves right now at Firebox....

Thought I'd put up a short post to highlight a couple of products that are selling particularly well this week, to give you a bit more information on them, and some original copy you are welcome to use on your own sites. Both these products have had a lot of press, both online and offline, and are in our top ten bestselling products.

My Own Morph £9.95

Morph is back and now you can make him yourself! This kit contains everything you need to make the much-loved plasticine character and recreate his fun antics. It even comes with accessories so you can age him instantly with a long grey beard (admittedly not a very convincing disguise), or have him playing cricket. Brilliant for anyone who remembers his original appearances popping out of the wooden box on Tony Hart's desk in Take Hart, Morph is likely to be occupying a few stockings this Christmas too!

Box includes:

• Plasticine
• 5 amusing accessories for Morph to play with- cricket bat, wizard's hat, skateboard, beard, comic book
• DVD with instructions, plus 15 classic Morph episodes
• Instruction leaflet

USB Negative Scanner £79.95

This gadget scans all the old dusty negatives we've all got lying around in shoeboxes, and turns them into nice modern digital photographs. Discover all those childhood snaps and forgotten memories. Easy to use, you put the negatives into the special film holders and the machine does the rest. This is a high quality deluxe model, that even comes with a tiny brush to wipe any dust from the film.
