Firebox, the online gift retailer, was launched in 1998 under the name of hotbox.co.uk. However, Hot Box was an existing company and, after a quick name change, Firebox.com was born. All about cool and unique gifts and gadgets, their first original creation was the Shot Glass Chess Set — a timeless cerebral battle of wits meets getting drunk.
This set the tone for future quirky Firebox creations in the form of unusual gifts with a twist. In fact, fast forward 20 years and they’re still coming up with mad products which make people laugh and provide great entertainment. They also use closely guarded extraction methods to harvest the tears of fantastical beasts to offer premium Mythical Spirits and Uncommon Drinks.
That’s not all, however, as you’ll also find the world’s hottest chilli chocolate and other wild food, hand tools, Spreadable Gin & Tonic and Mushions, which are squishy cushions with your face printed on them. They also invented the Mystery Box because they got bored of everyone getting exactly what they asked for. They’re bringing the risk, suspense and surprise back into gift giving, so put your fate in their hands and treat someone to a bit of a mystery.
You can also give your presents the personal touch with CrapWrap — the original anti-wrapping service by Firebox UK. Instead of sickly ribbons and bows, you’ll get wretched rips and tears, pathetic attempts at folding and the odd stray hair. Whatever you buy, they offer free mainland UK delivery on orders over £50.
Take advantage of a Firebox student discount when shopping for homeware, a gadget, a mobile phone charger from their technology range or music trivia game, while you can buy gift vouchers too. You might also find discount Firebox lifestyle or office gifts in their sale section. Don't forget, make a Firebox purchase through us and you can save. That's because you can get a Firebox discount in the form of cashback when you shop online.
Personalised Gifts
There are no presents which put a smile on the recipient’s face quite like personalised gifts. If you want someone to know you’ve put in the time, effort, care and a brilliant sense of humour into choosing their gift, it’s the perfect choice.
Firebox’s range of personalised gifts is immense. All you need to do is upload your photos and their personalisation wizards will do the rest for you. You can make his day with a face-based gift. From personalised suitcase covers ideal to travel on holidays with to his very own LEGO figure, there’s bound to be something he’ll love.
If you think your girl would love something with her face — or anybody else’s face — on, you’ll be spoilt for choice. You can even treat her to a giant Tom Hardy marshmallow. If you have an adorable pet, you can put their face on cushions, clothing items like socks, mugs and towels, or buy a pet mini me. If you want a gift for them, meanwhile, there are personalised bowls.
Order a personalised cushion to sit on, rest your head on or sleep on and you can have any face you want on it. There are also personalised face masks for shopping trips and work commutes, plus Mini Me personalised dolls in various designs. Each product features an image gallery so you can see exactly what you'll be getting.
