So what's new in the way of camping gadgets?!

[Uppermid]

The nights are getting lighter, so surely it's about time to start seeing what stuff is new and essential this year! Have the bunting and fairy and fairy lights ;o) so what do I need this year?!

Pop up lights?

I'd love a storm kettle . Need to find a way to justify the cost in addition to BBQ, 2 burner stove, Campfire Grill.

Wind up lanterns are ok though they don't give out a great beam, and you need to wind it before everyone goes to bed as the winding makes a high pitched VREEEEeeeremVreeeEeeeemVreeem.

I bought one of these yesterday and am very excited about it as a good reading light - I could attach it to a tree branch or my camping chair or an overhead loop or pole in the tent, or stand it up...the new alternative to the Tiny Light I have been using - saves wasting batteries in a big lantern, and is discreet enough to use in the tent without waking DS.

Looks good that Blu

Can't believe it, I can't stop thinking about that snack stand (I know I need a life) - I just went to have another look and someone's given it a terrible review! Has anyone got one and tried it out yet?

Here be the pop-up light

My 'notebook' style fold-up barbecue is another favourite bit of kit. We paid £40 for ours a couple of years ago but I saw them last week in BM Home Store for £12.99!!! Bargainous!

Oooh good spot Wiggle - I shall peruse my B&M on Friday

Excellent Will she use it? It might turn out to be the new must-have. The new Icey Tek...

I'm liking this www.lidl.co.uk/cps/rde/SID-D4BCEE8F-27788157/www_lidl_uk/hs.xsl/our-offers-2491.htm?action=showDetail&id=2478&ar=1. From LIDL and £20 less than the lakeland version. Both cool (IMHO) and bargainous (if bulky to transport).
