I love these buckets!

[SoupDragon]

From Letterbox. They're expensive, admittedly, but they're fab. Perfect for packing in a bag or to take on holiday.

God...with my 3 rent-a-wrecks they would last 5 minutes.

They do look good though...

They actually look surprisingly robust but will be interested to see how they last! The handles always came off the cheap plastic buckets we used to buy anyway.

As an aside - they come in 3 colours and I have 3 children. Yes, I did buy BabyDragon the pink one...

(and obviously they're for use in the powder white sand of Antigua, not the gritty/large pebbles beaches of, say, Bexhill-on-sea where my parents live )

We always end up visiting the pound shop and buying cheapo ones and leaving them behind. If we bought something more expensive, we'd still forget to take it with us and have to buy something else once we were at the beach anyway, I suspect.

They do look lovely, though.

at the soupy buying a pink item for babydragon....

We do that too, Jackieno. Have to say these were a special purchase to cut down on luggage (and because I liked them and wanted them so justified buying them to myself )! I didn't want to pay over the odds for a cr*p bucket when we get there.

And it's not "Next sugar pink" it's more magenta. I can cope with magenta, it almost counts as purple

magenta is allowed on babydragons so thats fine.
