Congratulations go to the winners of our #fireboxnatureinstagram competition: more details of which are here.

So……we’re doing another competition! All you folks who have entered and failed to win, why not give it another go. And of course, we welcome all newcomers to our flock. Doing something as simple as changing the filter could be enough to sway our idiot expert judging panel.

So the topic for our new Instagram competition is ‘British’. This time, we really want you guys to be creative. No boring pictures of London buses, Union Jacks or bulldogs.

What does ‘British’ really mean to you? Visiting your local market or butchers? Watching your football team getting hammered on a wet Sunday afternoon? Devouring a kebab at 11.30 on a Friday night after a couple of quiet beers?

As we want you to pull out all the stops, we’re offering one winner a whopping £200 gift voucher. You read it right – a massive £200. You might think it’s unbelievable, but it’s not – £200 (etc.)

We all make mistakes. We obviously didn’t read our #fireboxnatureinstagram terms and conditions closely enough. Who really reads terms and conditions on competitions anyway??! Well, clearly not us even though we actually wrote this particular set of ts & cs. (*sigh*). We’ll pay closer attention next time.

Anyway, we won’t bore you with the details but we’re we’re delighted to announce ANOTHER runner up for this competition.

So congratulations to @stellipop. You’re a runner up too and will receive a £25 Firebox gift voucher. Enjoy!

Drum roll…….Whooa!! We have a winner for our #fireboxnatureinstagram competition.

Well done @blackpearl. You win a £50 Firebox gift voucher. Why not splash out on few sets of our brand spanking new Polargrams, launched this week. No pressure though. You can spend it on anything you want really. You could even put it towards a Caran D’Ache 1010 Diamonds meaning you’d snap it up for just £854,950. YOU decide.

The two runners up each win a £25 gift voucher. Well done @scrappynw and @bazza1510.

The Famous Magical Unicorn made a whistle stop visit to Firebox HQ this afternoon and look at the glory that he brought with him. Behold: a REAL Double Rainbow.

What a magical afternoon in the company of one so great, so glorious.

This guy has already had over 500 backers for his game changing ‘Ramos Alarm Clock’ on crowdsourcing website Kickstarter.

It can only be turned off from a remote keypad.

The defuse code works as follows: “You’ll be able to either use the date, or a 4 digit number that gets flashed on the clock that you’ll have to memorize before your trip to Defuse Panel. A defuse code option asking you to punch in the number Pi to the 16th digit might also be in there.”

We’re all familiar with the Famous Magical Unicorn - pictured above in one of its many guises.

But why was it there? A Magical Unicorn’s mere presence is considered strong protection from evil so perhaps JFK smelt a rat and took the creature into his employ?

Or was it a double agent, working for Lee Harvey Oswald / the CIA / the Mafia / Fidel Castro / The Israeli Government / the KGB / J Edgar Hoover / Lyndon B Johnson / the Federal Reserve / etc.?

The truth is out there - somewhere. In the meantime, we can only marvel at it’s beauty.

“Firebox has to be the most comprehensive collection of shiny web based awesomeness in the world ever……EVER!!!”
