Its great outdoor-inspired design makes it super roomy with several different compartments for supreme snack storage.

3. Breathable poly twill bucket hat

4. Iqoniq Bryce recycled cotton t-shirt

Our Iqoniq range is all about providing you with the confidence to know exactly what your t-shirt is made from, where it’s come from, and the environmental impact your garment has had (at every stage of its life!). 

The t-shirt’s composition is 100% cotton (50% recycled and 50% organic), and every Iqoniq product has a unique QR label which will give you access to a dedicated digital passport of the product. 

Plus, 2% of the proceeds of each sold product will be donated to Water.org.

7. Wee PAL 2.0

It might be small in size, but it packs a punch! 

Our new and improved wee PAL 2.0 doubles the capacity of its predecessor. Coming in with a massive 6000mah of charge capacity, it’ll charge all of the latest smartphones easily. 

The wee PAL 2.0 is charged up using either the type C or micro USB ports. And as with all of the Power A Life power products, it includes the gift of a free, life-changing solar light for a child in a developing country. 

Buy one. Give one.

8. Bamboo toothbrush

Keep your teeth squeaky clean even whilst partying away. 

Our bamboo toothbrushes are the perfect eco-friendly replacement for your plastic throw-aways. 

After use, the 100% biodegradable handle can be turned into compost or sent to landfill where it’ll degrade at a much faster rate than any plastic toothbrush.

9. Mini hangover detox kit

Banish that hangover on the go! 

Whether it’s from fun festival antics, backstage parties or terrific tent tunes, this handy pocket-sized hangover kit will definitely help. 

With mints to freshen your mouth, a face spray and wet wipe to revive, and a cooling gel eye mask to relax, it’s all you’ll need to feel refreshed the morning after.

10.  Healer 16-piece first aid kit

Make sure you’re always having good, safe fun with this portable first aid kit. 

It includes x4 alcohol pads, x1 non-woven sponge, x5 adhesive plasters, x1 paper tape, x1 bandage, scissors, x2 pins and x1 triangle bandage. EN13485 compliant.

11. Recycled and biodegradable poncho

A festival classic. We all know how quickly the weather can turn drizzly when we’re out having fun, so having one of these stowed in your back pocket for a rainy day is sure to keep you high and dry. It’s biodegradable, too. 

12. Impact-aware RPET picnic blanket with PU cover

A must-have for the British summertime, especially for the UK festival season. 

This Impact Aware™ picnic blanket is made from comfortable fleece with foam padding and PEVA backing. The AWARE™ tracer technology validates the genuine use of recycled materials and a fun fact: each picnic blanket saves 16.6 litres of water, with 2% of the proceeds of each Impact product sold being donated to Water.org.
