And here we are. The summer holidays are just around the corner. A time parents look forward to as they can spend more time with their little ones. But with this excitement comes the inevitable “what on Earth are we going to do?” Make this the year you get outside and make the most of the sun. We’ve compiled a list of how we’re going to spend this summer, from beach days to camping, there’s so many ways to enjoy quality time with your loved ones in the fresh air. Savvy families know to pack for every possible weather occurrence, so we’ve thrown in a few suggestions of thermal products you should have on hand for chilly summer nights and unexpected clouds! Only in Britain would you need to pack suncream and thermal tops for the same trip.
The Great Garden Campout
Who says you need to travel for miles for a fun adventure? For a unique staycation idea and an easy way to create lots of smiles and memories, bring the campsite to your back garden. Pitch a tent, let your kids invite some friends over, and grab some snacks and torches before challenging them to spot star constellations or to tell their silliest ghost stories. This is a great way to ignite their imagination and create lasting memories they will look back on fondly. But be warned, as bedtime creeps closer, so will the evening chill. To get the full campsite experience come fully prepared with your Heat Holders thermalwear. Use our thermal blankets and kids' slipper & lounge socks to make the camp extra cosy.
Oh We Do Love to Be Beside the Seaside!
Whether it be Scarborough, Whitby or Brighton, a trip to the seaside is one of the best days out and a great family summer holiday activity idea. From the beach to the icecreams, and the sand that inevitably gets everywhere, it really is something to put in your diary this summer holiday. Set off early to beat the traffic, spend a few hours exploring the amusements, then find the perfect spot on the beach. Sit back, relax, and enjoy watching your little ones splash in the sea, build sandcastles and make unforgettable summer memories. No sun? No problem. Don’t let the weather stop you, just stay prepared with thermal essentials and let the fun commence. From thermal socks to thermal underwear, beat any unexpected chill. With thermal socks and accessories for ladies, men and kids, make sure the whole family is prepared from head to toe.
Take a Walk on the Wild Side
Summer is the perfect opportunity to enjoy everything nature has to offer. From birds to lakes to deer, there is so much to see right on our doorstep. Plan a day walking in the woods and set your kids a challenge to see how many different types of wildlife they can see. As your little explorers search for bugs and butterflies, we recommend they wear a pair of our wellington boot socks, as muddy feet are guaranteed. For the adults, grab a pair of thermal gloves if you’re setting off early in the morning and keep your hands toasty in the early morning chill.
Picnic Like a Pro
Picnics are a chance to let your children embrace a fun family tradition, and a perfect excuse for you to put on a glorious picky bits spread. Whether your chosen place to picnic is at the park or in the woods, make sure you pack your thermal blanket to sit on for ultimate comfort. Our new extra large faux fur blankets in natural and grey, are ideal for the whole family to sit on (or to lay more of a feast on!)
So, this summer make it your mission to embrace the great outdoors and show your kids the beauty of nature. It doesn’t have to be expensive; your children won’t remember how much you spent on something, they’ll remember the fun they had. But remember, whatever you plan to do, pack your Heat Holders socks, accessories and clothing, they may just save the day if the sun disappears.
