Varta Camping Lantern and LED Lipstick Light
Well, It’s coming to that time of year again, when we are thinking of taking our tent down from the attic, dusting it off and checking for holes, not to mention locating all the camping equipment that we hurriedly put away at the end of last summer, sure that we would remember exactly where we put everything 6 months later…
Well, if you need to further invest for the coming season, don’t think twice about buying Varta’s 3Watt LED outdoor sports lantern. It’s indispensable for all those upcoming camping trips and we wouldn’t be without it.
It has a dimming function and nightlight mode, perfect for those midnight toilet trips… It has apparently survived a 2metre drop test, which testifies to its sturdiness. It is even water resistant, which will come in handy camping in our country. Most importantly, it has a hanging hoop top and bottom so it can be suspended either way if needed. The Varta camping lantern battery life lasts up to 130hrs, so it should last for several trips and it takes 3 D batteries, which are simple to replace.
Very highly recommended, priced at £21.99 on Amazon UK.
Varta LED Lipstick Light – A perfect little gift for mum this Mother’s Day.
I’m not sure why this is called a lipstick light, could be for 2 reasons… 1 , it looks like a lipstick tube, It’s small and comes in either blue or pink, or 2, it’s because it can be used for reapplying lippy when you’re out at night! Either way, this is a very useful handbag torch. I use mine to find the key slot in the car or to help find the lock on the front door at night. It’s about 4 inches long, so it’s very compact and fits easily into the smallest handbag. The beam distance is a surprising 25m, the light is 0.5 Watt LED. The beam width can be adjusted by twisting the cap. It takes one AA battery, which lasts approx. 3 hours and is simple to replace. This would make a lovely gift for any teenager or older lady and, of course, for mum this mother’s day. Let’s face it, we should all have a handy little torch like this in our handbag. It’s available on Amazon in blue or pink priced at £4.99.

Varta Indestructible Torch, Camping Lantern and 4 X LED Outdoor Sports Headlight
A torch is a torch, blah, blah, blah, I hear you say… Well I would have been inclined to agree with you before I tried out this one. I must say I have never had a torch which shone as far away as this one.

Varta Indestructible Torch and Family Power Pack.
Men are so difficult to shop for at Christmas, its a nightmare for me as I look at my husband and think – ‘He has everything’!
However, I recently discovered he does not have a ‘Varta Indestructible Torch’ so that’s going into his stocking this Christmas for sure. I love the Varta products, they are built to last and are pretty ingenious.
The Varta Indestructible Torch is drop proof up to 9 metres and I love the competition they are running at the minute – people can submit their videos of just how ‘indestructible’ their Varta touch is and they have a chance to win £900 ! Visit www.builttosurvive.com for further information.
The torch itself is covered in resilient rubber which helps with shock absorption and aircraft aluminium-titanium alloy also makes this torch one of the toughest on the market. This, along with its water resistance properties give it added appeal as a gift for your outdoor man this Christmas.
Tech info:
‘The full range includes two headlights, a lantern and three torches. Guaranteed by VARTA for three years, the range comes in three versions for AA, AAA or C batteries. All of the torches have an energy saver mode, which can reduce the lumen output and increase battery run time by up to eight times’ (Varta)
Prices start from only £12.99 so not only is this a super gift, its very affordable.
Varta Family Power Pack.
I have a Varta power pack which my husband swiped as soon as it arrived. He loves it and its small enough to slip into his pocket when he is out and about. He says he has used it several times when his iPhone battery has let him down.
I have since then received the family power pack and this was invaluable when we were away over Halloween. The kids are well used to mummy’s trips and are prepared for a long sit in the car. With the Varta family powerpack they can keep their tablets and phones charged on the go.
I found it very useful when I was at my last concert at the SSE Arena. I was out the entire day shopping and had the power pack to charge my battery so I could take numerous photos and videos at the concert that evening. Its a fab gift for family and one charge seams to last ‘forever’ – I can highly recommend it.
RRP £29.99
Tech info: Powerpack 6.000 mAh
- The most demanded capacity for a business day
- Up to 2 phone or 1 tablet charges*
- Ideal for the on-the-go user: charges 2 devices at once

Prakti Stoves
Pratki stoves were first introduced to me about a month ago. We had just packed our tent away for the winter season and I was regretful I didn’t have this amazing little stove while we had been camping.
