As the end of the year draws near, we’re sharing our Best of 2025 Collection, revisiting the top 10 favourite items we’ve bought, or which have come across our desk, or we’ve personally ‘Tried & Tested’. In short, these are a few of our favourite things, perfectly timed for Christmas shopping inspiration.
Ninja SLUSHi
Forget any childhood experiences of excruciatingly sweet frozen sugar and discover the delights of creating your own icy slushy treats. We weren’t fully convinced on the merits of adding another gadget to our kitchen until we tried the Ninja SLUSHi in person. Since then, it’s been on constant rotation for family gatherings, weekend entertaining and as the perfect accessory for sultry hot days. It’s astonishingly easy to achieve recipes like the Frozen Pimms Refresher (Pimms & Lemonade), Frosé (possibly the ultimate frozen wine cocktail) or a coffee frappe; as well as one ingredient slushies like the classic lemonade or cola slushy. If you’re planning to entertain this festive season, add this to your repertoire – it does all the work while you entertain and you can’t help but have fun.
Ultimate Ears MINIROLL
When space is at a premium (as it is for anyone who travels by RV), compact and portable tech suddenly becomes even more of a priority. And whether you love to relax to music, listen to podcasts or create a soundtrack for your adventures, this robust Ultimate Ears MINIROLL is the ideal travel companion for all ages. It’s built tough and designed to withstand water, dust and even drops of up to 1.2 metres, plus includes a convenient strap so you can easily secure it if your biking, hiking or just strolling along a lakeside. Available in black, blue, grey or pink, the speaker’s Bluetooth range can extend up to 40m and delivers clear, powerful audio with a maximum sound level of 80.5dBC.
Logitech Casa Pop-Up Desk
Whether you’re travelling, adventuring or just looking to style up your remote work/entertainment setup, the sleek Logitech Casa Pop-Up Desk could well be the ultimate portable solution. Plus, if you’re a stationery geek from way back, there’s something deeply satisfying about how neatly it all folds away, with the compact kit offering a wireless keyboard, wireless touchpad and a book-like case that transforms into the laptop stand. It’s the perfect combination of convenience, thoughtful design and performance; ideal for RV travels. The convenience of battery life of up to five months for the keyboard and three weeks for the touchpad comes in handy if you’re off grid but still want to work. Our fave feature is the fabric case, so the Pop-Up Desk resembles a book instead of the traditional tech presentation of shiny black or grey. Choose from Nordic Calm, Bohemian Blush and Classic Chic.
Teva footwear
If nature is your playground, the new Teva Summer 2025 collection embraces the brand’s reputation for all-season footwear and outdoor play, with the launch including fun fresh colours in the Hydratrek Sandal. Designed to deliver water-ready traction, the Hydratrek takes its inspiration from the tree frog grip, keeping feet astonishingly comfortable and supported, whilst allowing you to cross creeks and streams, river hop and hike all day. If you’re planning to wander further afield, boot up in the Hurricane Daybreaker Low – adding extra support, a laceless closure system and multi-directional lugs to confidently grip the ground.
UGG Unisex Sheepskin Slippers
The ultimate footwear for those who enjoy the RV lifestyle, the timeless UGG sheepskin slipper offers maximum comfort inside, while being durable enough to relax in outside. The UGG Homey Unisex ankle slipper is available in chestnut, grey, lilac or pink for all day (and night) comfort. There’s also an exciting array of UGGs to choose from for everyday wear and comfort.
Evoke Flexibraid® Headwear
Protect yourself from the harsh summer sun (and year-round) with Flexibraid® Headwear. World-famous with travellers and sports people for its travel-friendly design and for delivering UPF50+ protection, the stylish collection is also crush-resistant, rain-resistant, colour-fast and wind-resistant. The internal ComfyFit adjuster ensures a personalised fit, so whether you love to spend your days exploring, adventuring or relaxing, you can enjoy effortless comfort and sun protection. Our faves include the Lexi Fedora and Harley Trilby.
Roborock H60 Hub Ultra
Embrace the latest technology and free up your time for more worthwhile pursuits, with the Roborock H60 Hub Ultra. The closest thing you’ll get to an actual robot vacuum cleaner, this mighty offering delivers impressive suction (up to 210AW) and all the cutting edge innovations such as LED illumination, an anti-tangle brush for floors and carpets, and 5-stage filtration, as well auto-emptying into the charging dock so you never have to handle dust and debris again. It also makes gifting household appliances trendy again – who doesn’t want effortless and hygienic cleaning (with extra tools sleekly stored in the charging dock).
CASETiFY Phone Accessories
Earning its place in the ranks of the ultimate travel accessory has to be the not-so-humble smartphone – used to capture special moments, record stunning views and of course keep you contactable and trackable whilst adventuring and exploring. Protect this valuable asset with a quality phone case – we’re fans of the CASETiFY collection offering up thousands of cases and accessories (including personalisation and customisation like you’ve never seen before). Simply choose the level of protection you want from basic to high impact, plus add the Ultra Bounce Carabiner to allow hand-free phone carrying whilst exploring.
Samsung Galaxy Tab S11
When life demands more screen size than a phone and less bulk than a desktop, the Galaxy Tab S11 tablet becomes the perfect travel (and at-home) companion. Packed with powerful AI features, this slim and lightweight tablet delivers transformative creativity and features to help streamline work demands or introduce you to a new world of opportunity, from AI-sketch to the writing assist feature. And if you love to stream, watch movies or game on the go, the incredible visuals mean you’re carrying all the entertainment you’ll ever need with you. Samsung’s most intelligent and advanced tablet experience yet embraces the best of AI for next level productivity and enjoyment.
Aerial Art
Celebrate your travel highlights with a piece of meaningful art from Kiwi business Aerial Art. Choose the place most memorable or special for you and enjoy a personalised piece of art to hang in your home or RV forever. In a world of product overconsumption, an Aerial Art piece captures memories whilst also adding a piece of cherished artwork to your space. Each print is created with impeccable attention to detail; from the rich colours to the crystal-clear visuals and finish.
