“Some things you come across in life are faultless, and on my experience with Firebox this seems to be one of those moments.”

So some lucky people among us have been in Las Vegas this week. Why? It’s the annual geek fest - The CES or The Consumer Electronics Show of course.
It’s kind of a big deal which is why we send a small gang out every year. No one has ever grumbled about going. I mean, would you grumble if you were sent by work? Come on, its Las Vegas for crying out loud.

We loved this infographic. A friend of a friend of Mark Irving (our esteemed online marketing dude) shared it on Facebook. We tracked down the full infographic here for your viewing pleasure.

Ben Redhead, our Sports and Outdoors specialist is a handy fella on the football pitch, a proven midfield general at the regular Firebox five-(sometimes four)-a-side matches. Bone crunching tackles, stinging shots, Ben embodies the passion of a true Southampton football supporter – we all want Ben on our team. And he is super fit too. Right Ben?

“Just a note to say thank you so much for the quick delivery. I ordered these glasses at 11.30am yesterday, my shipping email came at 2.30pm and they were delivered at 8.30am this morning. Really excellent glasses and service thanks also for the fizzy cola bottles too! I will definitely be using Firebox again.”

Hi everyone. Yes, we’ve been quiet and haven’t posted for way too long - but we’ve been busy, busy, bees. You can see for yourself how much the site has changed so we won’t bore you with details of the hundreds of new products we’ve launched on the site, the brand new categories, the site redesigns and the gazillions of new customers and friends we’ve gained along the way.

Anyway, we’ve been also been really busy finding ‘stuff’ on the internet which we may as well share with you ….if you think your boyfriend is cheating then clearly all you need is 5 US dollars to solve your worries…for all you video gaming fans out there you’re a nobody until you can get one of these bad boys installed in your living room…Minecraft was one of Google’s top search terms apparently and everyone aged 3 to 103 loves Lego so surely this collaboration is going to happen right?…it continues to grow in stature year on year (both the event and the facial hair) so soon growing a moustache for Movember will be the norm, not the exception….Heinz launches ‘Get Well Soon’ personalised soup with a little help from a site called Facebook….everyone loved this vintage Argos catalogue from  1985, check out this page – actually do we still sell some of this?…Is this a BBQ or a tank and more importantly should we order some in….if you love My Keepon as much as we do then this video clip featuring one of the creators is well worth a watch….and finally, will this zombie craze ever stop? Only in America aye? Phew. Its good to be back. And Happy New Year.
