Cool Summer Essentials From Fatboy
Fatboy has been described as ‘design with a smile’. It takes those every day items for the home and garden, and subverts them into something new, something interesting, and, most importantly, something fun. They say:-
At Fatboy, we create our own versions of old favourites for your home and garden. We translate the essence into iconic designs with a twist – and full of ingenuity. With every detail, we look for the fun in functionality.
They are also a great place to look for Summer essentials, either for your own garden if you are looking to enjoy a summer staycation, or for putting in the back of your car for a day at the beach. These are Summer essentials in the brightest of colours, but also products that are built to last. They ensure this by using materials that are water-resistant, don’t fade and are, for the most part, recycled, or with a low environmental impact.
Products on which you can plop down, chill out and not worry about spills.
Here are my three favourite items from Fatboy this Summer.
LAMZAC 3.0 AND LAMZAC O
A Lamzac is just about the most squashy, most comfortable sun lounger you can ever imagine, and this is because it is filled with air! You literally swing the Lamzac through the air to fill it up, it takes literally a minute, and then you close it. That is it! No need to use any sort of foot pump, and it is totally portable, perfect for the beach, or taking on a picnic, for just the easiest way to relax and laze on a sunny day.
The Lamzac 3.0 and Lamzac O are super strong, water and dirt repellent and UV resistant. Once you have finished using the Lamzac, or are heading home, you simply let the air out of this comfy chair/bed and fold it away. It’s that easy.

Miasun Beach Tent
A beach tent is an absolute Summer essential. particularly for very hot days, and especially if you are taking young children and babies to the beach. It is also a godsend on very windy days when you risk being sandblasted, and can even give children a fun place to play on the beach, safely out of the sun.
The Miasun beach tent from Fatboy is brilliant in so many different ways. It is lightweight, weighing just over a kilo, and can fit easily inside a bag or suitcase (and certainly in the boot of your car). The tent comes in a handy envelope which makes both storage, and transportation very easy. You can set up Miasun in just 90 seconds. This is a smart beach tent with a UV filter and is large enough for two adults and two children to sit or lie under. The tent is available in different colours and prints, so you can choose something that suits your taste.

The Carry-Too-Much Bag
When big is basically still not big enough!
The Carry-Too-Much bag is absolutely enormous. Made from 100% leftover cotton, it is water repellent, stain resistant and will literally carry anything and EVERYTHING. It has strong, high quality shoulder straps, and an inside pocket with a press stud closure for added security.
The stripe design is just a nautical classic, which makes it absolutely perfect for Summer. This is truly your carry all bag, absolutely perfect for taking all your children’s bits – a football, cricket set, bats and balls, sun creams, sun hats, drinks and snacks etc, etc, for a day out.
