Are You Firebox's Oldest Flame?

There is a week until the official Oldie Awards and Firebox is looking for our oldest customer.

According to the Oldie Awards study, 74% of Oldies own a computer and regularly surf the internet and 53% have a broadband connection. According to their online survey, over 88% purchased books and over 66% booked travel online. So, Oldies are used to buying products online.

With this in mind we want to salute our oldest flame but we need your help. Are you our oldest customer or perhaps your nan or granddad use Firebox.com to buy their Christmas gifts? Could you be the next Katherine Young? Either way, we'd like you to email us with a photo of the Oldie using the Firebox website.

We have some great prizes to giveaway so get your cameras ready and visit your relatives this weekend!

Snow Joke!

Some Fireboxer's avoided non essential travel today and worked from home, making time to make a snowman at lunch of course!

South-east England has been hit by the heaviest snow for 18 years, causing buses to be cancelled, tube lines suspended, and airports closed.

BBC weather forecaster Tomasz Schafernaker said the worst-affected area has been the Thames Valley and Greater London where the transport network is at its most concentrated, which is why there has been such chaos. He said some parts of London have already seen up to eight inches (20 cm) of snow.

It could have been worse I guess!

Let's Face Facts

In the week that we learnt Esther Rantzen had gone into the celebrity jungle with a face full of Botox, us Fireboxers have found ourselves wondering 'Whatever next?'

The days are getting colder and when we're not battling the cold to get into work, we are laughing (and creasing) our faces off at Elmo Live's stand up performance. But what if there was a product which could stop our beautiful little faces from cracking or wrinkling. If only there was a mask you could put on which, if the kids saw, they would know you need some quiet time to even out your face.

Stop wondering, start watching!

Hey Firebox customer, don't change a thing! We love you just how you are!

Well kind of.
