Light Flurries. ‘is a revolutionary, animated, outdoor light that creates the illusion of falling snow flurries on your home…Simply place the unit 10 to 25 feet from your home, open the case, remove and position the light. Once this is done, just plug the unit into a power source.’

We really, really couldn’t make this stuff up, could we?

It’s kind of snowing in London – well actually not right now, but it’s been trying for days – which makes the idea of an igloo tool even more bizarre. Ladees n’gennlemen – The Icebox.

‘The ICEBOX� is an affordable, lightweight, and packable tool for building a snow shelter in any snow conditions…You already know the advantages of snow camping…’

It’s never too early to start thinking about Winter, even in the middle of a very nice heat wave like the one we are currently enjoying here in London. So what better way to plan ahead than to consider investing in a sweet little Backyard Blizzard snow machine for your garden? You see you can never guarantee when there’ll be enough snow falling on your head to make it feel really, really Christmassy.

Yes folks, for a measly $2995.00 you can recreate your own fairytale setting merely by attaching a garden hose, switching on and waiting for about 3 hours while 2 gallons a minute of water is converted and sprayed onto your prime real estate. Not advisable for use in July, except in Alaska perhaps!
