The mornings are darker, foggy and frosty. You’re thinking about snuggling on the sofa, not shivering outside a tent… BUT don’t discount winter camping as the perfect antidote to pre-Christmas hustle and bustle. Sites are quiet (and often cheaper), there’s far fewer biting bugs to irritate you, and it can be absolutely stunning.

We’ve teamed up with the fabulous team at Cool Camping to give you our top five UK sites offering the best of winter camping – or glamping, if a tent is just a step too far!

We love the new Christmas Eve box tradition, especially finding the perfect pair of cosy pyjamas for the excitement and anticipation of Christmas morning. But, whilst we like Rudolph and Frosty as much as the next person, we're not quite on board (yet!) with PJs the kids wear for a few days and are then out of season by New Year. Just call us Scrooge! 

There are some beautiful independent brands creating high quality, super soft nightwear, that you'll love watching the kids run around in on Christmas morning - as well as on any other day of the year! Here are a few of our favourites to help fill the kids' Christmas Eve gift boxes.

Bundle Beds was born out of the desire to make getting out on adventures with family and friends easier, and a lot more comfortable! So it's wonderful hear where your Bundle Bed has taken you. Katya let us know about her family's camping trip to Bodiam, East Sussex...

You've only got a small guest room but need a double bed. You’ve booked a romantic getaway under the stars but don’t fancy the less-than-romantic battle with the airbed pump.  Or, like two recent Bundle Bed customers, you are adventuring across the Pyrenees together...

Make a comfy portable double bed by using two Bundle Beds and our purpose-made double fitted sheet. 

Making the leap and starting your own business sets off a rainforest of butterflies (as well as the odd demon of self-doubt) … at least it did for us at Bundle HQ!  So, as we’ve been hustling our way through a summer of fairs and shows, it has been lovely to discover so many other British brands who have done the same. We’ve marvelled at unique, clever, classic ideas – blending the beautiful with the practical – as well as the passion of the people behind them.  Here are just a few of those small businesses who we'd like to show a bit of Bundle Bed love for!

When browsing through the social media feeds, it is a rare image that not only halts an impatient scrolling thumb but makes you pause and wonder and reflect.  Such are the captures of Nick Zupancich, a freelance outdoor photographer about to embark on a mission to reveal the beauty and power of the wilderness from a newly-converted Sprinter van.  We, at Bundle Beds, love his spirit of adventure and his aim to inspire - as well as his jaw-dropping night shots!  

We caught up with Nick, just before he leaves with his girlfriend Maggie and new puppy Pushkin...

It hardly seems a second since we were fashioning ideas out of a napkin for a comfy bed to take on adventures…and now that little idea, sparked over a few glasses of wine, has won not one, but two, children’s design awards!

We at Bundle Beds love food almost as much as we love travelling. We’re always on the look out for delicious, easy, and nutritious grub, especially with the baby Bundlers extending the team over the last year. So, we were very excited to discover Lizzie King and her taste-bud tempting food blog, Lizzie Loves Healthy (the baby Bundlers highly recommend her chocolate-oatie pancakes!). 

She has been kind enough to let us pick her brains on a few of her favourite things, who she'd like round her campfire and, of course, the best food to eat there!
