Every camper knows how important space-saving kit is, especially when it’s multi-functional. This collapsible tableware is both those things, and can be used as bowls, plates or chopping boards. Made from FDA food grade silicone that’s dishwasher safe, the materials are heat resistant and suitable for storing hot food as well as salads, crisps, desserts and more. The bone groove design means the products are quick-drying and reinforces the shape when being used as a bowl.
The product can be used as an 11 inch round plate or chopping board or two sizes of box, 4.5 x 4.5 x 3.9 inch and 6.2 x 6.2 x 3 inch. The polypropylene snaps make the tableware easy to adapt and keep them stable when being used as storage.

You won’t be able to use it when you’re lost on a back road, but this world map cushion cover makes up for impracticality with charm.

The brightly coloured print appears on both sides so it’s a great addition to your couch, chair or bed at whatever angle.
Measuring 45×45 cm, the pillow case is made from high quality cotton and burlap so it’s super durable and machine washable (on cold). The invisible zipper is unobtrusive, making the cover a super chic and snug fit on your cushion.
