Jade Marczynski Embroidery “Caravanning”

Caravanning 
If all of the prints we’ve featured recently haven’t quite been your thing, then Jade Marczynski Embroidery has some completely different artwork including this piece, “Caravanning”.

It features a hand embroidered design of a vintage caravan on a piece of vintage floral fabric, which it turns out is 1940s nightgown material. It is sold ready framed.

It costs £70 from Lasso the Moon.

Dub-Box – retro camper van caravan with a high end finish

Dub

Probably best suited for added capacity for a VW Camper Van, the Dub-Box is also versatile enough to offer vintage-style caravanning for any car. Indeed, it offers the Camper Van vibe without the hassle of maintaining an old one.

Mixing reproduction retro parts with cutting edge trailer technology, the Dub-Box has a glass fibre body shell and what's described as a 'handcrafted' finish using your choice of colours and fabrics, as well as a selection of flooring, blinds, upholstery, cupboards and worktops.

Happy Camper plate by Jane Jenni

Happy camper

If you know someone who enjoys a spot of camping or just someone who is an all-round cheerful soul, Jane Jenni's Happy Camper plate could be the gift for them. 

Reminiscent of a game of Catchphrase, the plate uses the word 'happy' alongside a brightly coloured image of a caravan to represent the phrase, 'Happy Camper'. The simple text, combined with the image, makes it evocative of a retro children's book illustration. The plate is melamine which makes it perfect for actually taking camping too.

The Happy Camper is just one in a whole series of designs executed in the same style around the same idea. So whether one of your family is a 'book worm' or simply you think they are the 'bees knees' or the 'cats meow', this could be the perfect present.

Each plate costs £7.99.
