Need a great gift idea ?

When friends and family come over, nobody wants to spend the day running back and forth to the fridge.

You want cold drinks within easy reach. You also want something that looks great in your garden.

That's where a novelty drinks cooler comes in.

Fill it with ice, add your favourite bottles and cans, and you're ready to entertain.

However, these aren't ordinary plastic cool boxes.

From camper vans and caravans to animals and classic vehicles, our drinks coolers are designed to get people talking.

What Is a Novelty Drinks Cooler?

A novelty drinks cooler combines practical drinks storage with a unique garden feature.

Simply fill the cooler compartment with ice. Then add your bottles and cans to keep them chilled.

Place it near your outdoor seating or dining area. Your guests can then grab a cold drink without heading inside.

When the party is over, the melted ice can be drained away on applicable designs.

It's simple, practical and much more interesting than a standard cool box.

Why Choose a Camper Van Drinks Cooler?

There's something about a classic camper van or caravan that instantly brings back memories of holidays and adventures.

That's why our vehicle-inspired coolers make such great garden features.

The Airstream Caravan Cooler combines a nostalgic design with a practical drinks-cooling compartment. It's handcrafted from upcycled shipping drums and finished with protective lacquer.

Details such as the tow bar, wheels, side door and rear lights add to its character.

Fill it with ice and drinks before your guests arrive. It then becomes both a cooler and a centrepiece for the party.

A Drinks Cooler That's Also a Talking Point

Garden accessories don't always need to blend into the background.

Sometimes, they're much more fun when they stand out.

The Think Outside collection is packed with character. There are coolers inspired by vehicles, animals and other quirky designs.

You'll find everything from an Airstream Caravan Cooler to an Army Land Rover Drinks Cooler. There are even sheep, pigs, turtles and other unusual beverage tubs within the wider collection.

Put one beside your garden furniture and it's unlikely to go unnoticed.

Guests may come over for the BBQ. However, your cooler could end up being one of the things they remember most.

Perfect for BBQs and Garden Parties

A garden drinks cooler really comes into its own when you're entertaining.

Before your guests arrive, fill the compartment with ice. Add your drinks and position the cooler close to your seating area.

Everyone can then help themselves.

You won't need to keep going inside for another bottle. You'll also free up valuable space in your fridge.

They're ideal for BBQs, birthdays and summer parties. You can also use them whenever you're enjoying a sunny afternoon outside.

Handmade From Recycled Metal

These coolers aren't simply quirky to look at.

The Think Outside collection is created using recycled metal. The pieces are handcrafted by artisans, giving each one its own individual character.

Recycled oil drums are given a completely new purpose. Instead of going to waste, they're transformed into colourful garden pieces.

The handmade process also means each piece is unique.

Small variations are part of their charm.

Not Just Camper Vans

The camper and caravan-inspired designs may immediately catch your eye, but there's plenty more to discover.

Fancy a classic vehicle instead? A Pick-Up Truck Cooler features separate compartments for ice and drinks. It's also mounted on wheels, making it easier to move around your entertaining space.

Prefer something completely different?

The wider Think Outside collection includes quirky animal beverage tubs and other unusual designs.

That means you can choose a cooler that suits your personality and garden.

What Drinks Can You Put in an Outdoor Cooler?

That's entirely up to you.

Fill yours with bottled water and soft drinks for a family BBQ. Add cans and bottles for an evening with friends.

You could even create separate areas for different drinks if your chosen cooler has multiple compartments.

Pre-chilling your drinks before adding them can also help. Then add plenty of ice to keep everything cool while you entertain.

A Brilliant Gift for Someone Who Has Everything

We all know someone who's almost impossible to buy for.

A novelty garden cooler could be the answer.

They're especially suited to people who love their garden, BBQs or entertaining friends.

Vehicle-inspired designs can also make a fantastic gift for motoring enthusiasts.

And if someone loves vintage campers and caravans, an Airstream-style cooler is difficult to beat.

It's useful, decorative and certainly isn't an everyday present.

Bring Some Character to Your Garden

A drinks cooler doesn't have to be a boring plastic box hidden underneath the table.

It can be part of the fun.

The Think Outside drinks coolers combine colourful designs with practical outdoor entertaining. Fill them with ice, add your drinks and let your guests help themselves.

Whether you choose a camper, caravan, classic vehicle or quirky animal, you'll get more than somewhere to keep your drinks cold.

You'll get a garden feature with plenty of personality.
