After what seems to have been a very long, grey winter, we are delighted to have finally seen the arrival of sunshine and warmer days. With the weather getting warmer and the long summer evenings ahead of us, here are a few ways you can spend some quality time outdoors with your nearest and dearest.
Picnics
Who doesn’t enjoy a nice picnic; sitting in the garden, watching the kids play while you relax in each other’s company? But, for some of us, sitting on the traditional picnic blanket is no longer the most comfortable, or easy, thing to do.
Our crates make amazing additions to your picnic, providing both an excellent method of transporting your food, drink or other picnic essentials, as well as being useful as a seat when you don’t want to – or simply can’t – sit on the floor.
Why not group some crates together to make a table for that extra sense of refinement?
Parties
The summer months are ideal for throwing parties! Whether it is a special occasion, such as a birthday or anniversary, or you are simply having a get together for the sake of spending time with friends and love-ones, everyone loves a good party.
And no party is complete without refreshments.
Serve your guests from one of our Pop-up bars or carry drinks around on one of our fantastic trays. Throw in a few of the aforementioned seat crates, and your guests will not want to leave!
BBQ’s
With the sun out, it is time to dust off the trusty barbeque! Whether you are die-hard meat-eater or prefer the vegetarian lifestyle, barbeques are a wonderful way to turn a meal into a social affair.
But slaving over the hot coals makes for thirsty work. Keep the chef hydrated and the feast flowing by storing your drinks in one of our Wine Racks. They make great additions to your BBQ, providing an easy way to transport and store those important refreshments.
Speaking of storage, need somewhere to keep left over charcoal for the next occasion? You can’t go wrong with a storage crate! Available in different sizes and colours, with optional castors and lids, your home and shed storage is immediately that much more flexible.
Father’s Day
As we enter June, it is also time to think of your dad. With Father’s Day just a couple of weeks away, there is no time to lose in finding him that perfect gift.
This year, show him how much you appreciate him by giving him a gift that will last for years to come. We have put together a selection of our products that we think are ideal as Father’s Day gifts.
If you need help finding the right thing for your dad, please do contact us on 01636 525352 or email info@vintagecratesuk.co.uk.
