Glamping Accessories

For the benefit of slubber really, but today I accidentally got lost on the way to mum's house and ended up at the Emma Bridgewater discount factory shop.

I now have more delicious glamping accessories: lovely plastic tumblers with spots, hearts, union jacks; a huge union jack mug for morning tea (this will match my union bunting); stacking cake tins for hearty walk-sustaining fruit cake and a tea towel. Other items may have made it into the shopping bags too, but I think I can smuggle them onto the dresser before dh spots them.

Ah, but I'll offer you nice wine if you come and sit at my tent, and you'll soon forget all about the little lights and think it's the bright beautiful stars you can only see when out in proper nature.

That camping link in Wales look lovely! Dh sadly also part of the 3hr max club, and I don't drive, so unlikely that we'll go there soon.

I'll be needing a lot of that nice wine to mistake the glorious nightly heavens for some half price Tesco fairy lights let me tell you.

MisSalLaneous · 12/04/2010 20:25

Hehe. Well, the way the weather's going downhill again, there will probably not be enough sun to charge them anyway.

I'm not sure if this is a glamping accessory as such but I bought a bottle of ready made margheritas in Sainsburys today to take with us. I've got some plastic light up cocktail glasses which I might chuck in for added glamour

MisSalLaneous · 12/04/2010 20:28

Hahahaha, LadyBiscuit beats me hands down on, uhm, odd camping accessories!

Slubberdegullion · 12/04/2010 20:29

GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY

light up cocktail glasses

LadyBiscuit · 12/04/2010 20:31

The cocktails was something me and my best mate always used to do when we camped (we used to go every year). As soon as we'd set up camp, we'd sit down with cocktails and smile serenely at all the frazzled parents. One year a mum from the next tent said she wanted to move in with us

Now we are parents we are a hell of a lot less smug

Ooh was just going to ask about recommendations for solar powered fairy lights. Half price at Tesco's sounds good enough for me.

And for those of you looking for warm thermals

I love the description: " ... comfortable low rise Merino wool thong is warm, non-itchy and silky soft against the skin."

Hmm, I suspect they're missing something.

Sal you ahve all teh best sites

OOOH cocktails!

DIstant emmories of ebing invited to Captain's Cocktails on a cruise and with DH and I being the only under 60's, being plied to oblivion with free drink by meanie cocktail waiters.

If we could combine that with a tent....

Our morrisons had those as well tigga. They were right next to the light up disco cocktail glasses which I bought.

off camping soon - have you seen new website theglamcampingcompany.com
all those bits and pieces that I love!

MisSalLaneous · 02/05/2011 16:04

Molitika, that site is madness. They sell a collapsible kette, which is, whilst highly overpriced and a bit silly easily packable, and then a wooden box?? Mind you, I feel old and grumpy today, and nearly choked on my tea: £26 for a "toasting fork"...

Cool site for garden picnic ideas though, which you can then buy cheaply elsewhere.
