TOP EASTER HOLIDAY ACTIVITIES FOR ALL THE FAMILY

Easter weekend is just around the corner now and that means one thing, the school Easter holidays are about to get underway.

If you’re struggling with ideas to keep the whole family occupied during this time off, you’ll be pleased to hear that we’ve come up with plenty of ideas to keep everyone entertained for the whole holiday!

National Trust Easter Egg Hunts

We love the National Trust and all their parks (almost as much as the National trust love the HandiMoova) and think they’re great places to spend quality family time, without breaking the bank.

A walk around a National Trust park or property is a perfect way to spend a few hours but if you want to make your Easter adventure with the National Trust even more exciting, taking part in the Cadbury egg hunts they’re running over the Easter weekend at all their sites is a perfect idea.

Over the 4-day Easter weekend, Cadbury has teamed up with the National Trust to run Easter egg hunts for all ages to offer hours of entertainment, as well as tasty chocolate rewards throughout your walk at over 250 of their locations.

Trip to the Seaside

Another cheap way to spend a few hours getting exercise out in the fresh air is to take a trip to the seaside. The weather can be hit and miss over the Easter period, so if you wake up to a nice day, pack up everything you need and head to your nearest seaside for some classic British holiday fun.

If you’re planning to turn your trip to the seaside into a day at the beach, you’re probably going to need to pack a lot of things to keep everyone happy, so when it comes to transporting all your seaside essentials from the car to your perfect sunny spot, the HandiMoova is on hand to make light work of carrying all your belongings.

Family Bike Ride

Bike riding is a fun and affordable activity that all the family can enjoy together. Whether you ride around your local area or get in the car and head somewhere a little more picturesque for your cycling adventure, bike riding is a great way to spend a few hours without needing to spend a penny.

Nature Spotting

Family walks are great ways to embrace the outdoors but they don’t always keep kids entertained for hours, whereas going on a nature spotting walk is even more fun for all ages. You can stay close to home or head further afield but wherever you go for your family stroll, spend some extra time taking in the scenery and looking out for the signature signs of spring like new animals, daffodils and bluebells.

Try Something New

Although spending time with family doing the things you already love is always a good way to spend time, Easter holidays are also the perfect time to try something new. Whether you fancy trying watersports for the first time or taking on a new challenge you’ve always wanted to complete such as a zip line or obstacle course, the Easter break is the perfect time to get out and fall in love with a new hobby.

The options are endless for keeping the whole family happy and busy during the Easter holidays and if the weather lets you down, indoor activities such as at home ‘cinema days’, teddy bear picnics and baking are always entertaining for all ages.

WHAT TO PACK FOR A FAMILY CAMPING TRIP AND HOW TO PACK IT

Camping trips are a popular kind of holiday with families and although one of the more affordable types of holiday, they can be the most difficult to plan for. Family camping trips can require a lot of kit and transporting all of that can be a challenge, especially if you’re trying to cram it all into your standard family vehicle.

We’re going to be sharing with you exactly what you need to pack for a camping trip as well as our top tips for how to create extra space in your car and pack all your belongings in your vehicle with plenty of room to spare!

The Packing List

Your camping trip packing list will vary depending on how many people you’re packing for, the season in which you’re going camping and the ages of the members of your family but below is a rough guide to everything you need to pack for your trip:

We appreciate that may seem a pretty extensive packing list but we’re confident you’ll get use out of every single one of the above items which means there’s a lot to get packed into the car.

You may be scratching your head right now, wondering how you’re possibly going to fit everything into the car but with the help of some handy products from HandiWorld, packing up all your camping trip essentials is going to cause you no bother at all.

The HandiRack

One of the bulkiest bits of kit you need to transport with you when heading off on a camping trip is the tent but when you choose to add a HandiRack to the top of your car, you can simply use the HandiBungee cords to strap the tent to the top of your car and you’ll have freed up room for more luggage inside the car.

If your tent comes packed inside its own carry bag with everything secure inside, you could simply strap this to the HandiRack but if you’re unsure about how protected your tent will be from the elements, pack it inside one of our waterproof roof bags before attaching to the inflatable roof rack.

The HandiHoldall

If you’re having trouble finding space for all the rolled up sleeping mats, sleeping bags and deflated airbeds in the car, a HandiHoldall could soon become your best friend.

Perfect for packing in items such as the above, the HandiHoldall has a 320-litre capacity and can either carry two HandiDuffels filled with your belongings or items such as sleeping bags and mats to leave you with more room for sitting comfortably in the car.

The HandiDuffel

The best way to pack up all the clothes and toiletries you won’t need during the car journey is to put them in one of the 135-litre HandiDuffel bags and pack this into the HandiHoldall to keep all your belongings secure and dry throughout the duration of the car ride.

HandiDuffels are also great for simply packing your luggage in the car as the bags are a practical streamlined shape that take up minimal room; the 95-litre bag in particular is compact and great for packing into small corners of the car.

The HandiMoova

If room in the car isn’t the problem but how you’re going to transport all the gear to your pitch once you arrive on site, then the HandiMoova is an essential for you. Compact when folded down so easy to throw in the car before you head off on your holiday, the HandiMoova is an all-terrain trolley that is ideal for transporting luggage and equipment from the car to where you’ll be pitching your tent if you can’t park close enough.

Designed to work perfectly on all terrains, the HandiMoova can carry up to 60kg of your belongings at any one time, meaning you can transport all your things in no time.

Family camping trips are all about creating fond memories, so to ensure you avoid any conflict when it comes to packing the car to head off on your adventures, be sure to follow our handy packing tips!

HandiWorld Reviews

DON’T JUST TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT, HERE’S WHAT HANDIWORLD CUSTOMERS REALLY THINK

We think our products are some of the best of their kind but we could forgive you for accusing us of being biased. If you’re looking to purchase a HandiWorld product and don’t just want to take our word for it when we say they’re great, why not put your trust in the words of some of our real customers?

We’re going to be sharing with you a selection of reviews our loyal customers have left for us about some of our most popular products, so you can purchase with confidence that our inventions are really as good as we say they are!

HandiRack

The HandiRack was the very first product that HandiWorld launched and is something we consider to be one of our best-sellers. Our inflatable roof rack is a one of a kind invention and is a unique concept when compared to traditional roof bars but what do people who own a HandiRack think?

“The HandiRack arrived on time. It was easy to fit and did what I wanted it to do perfectly. It was easy to remove and it all went back in its little bag. Excellent” – Furness

“I received the HandiRack yesterday, just in time to be used in transporting a small wardrobe on the top of my Toyota Aygo. It did the job with a minimum of effort required, easy to install the rack, good quality, fit for purpose. Would recommend!” – Mike Faint

“The product arrived in the time specified, well packaged with clear instructions – I managed to put it on despite being pretty rubbish at such things… We put a canoe on, used some additional straps and it worked a treat.” – Maggy

HandiHoldall

Our weather resistant soft roof box is made from durable and reliable fabric and is capable of carrying up to 320-litres worth of cargo. We truly think the HandiHoldall is a far better option than your traditional roof box but do our customers agree?

“Purchase via the website was a doddle and the item arrived the next day; very impressed. HandiRack and HandiHoldall are great products, really easy to use and really well made” – Mark Chapman

“I purchased the HandiHoldall for camping to free up space in the car. I like that it is easy to store when not in use. I found it easy to fit and easy to load up. It rained on the way back from a trip and did not leak” – David

“Great alternative to the roof box as we don’t have a garage to store one. It folds inside a small bag, so takes up no room at all. It withstood high winds and rain on our first trip so it does the job. We bought two of the black holdalls also, which made packing much easier. Very useful and we are happy.” – Lee

HandiMoova

The all-terrain trolley that truly is ready for any eventuality, we’re confident when we say that the HandiMoova can take on any terrain but how have our customers been getting on with their new wheels?

“I love my HandiMoova. It works brilliantly across our gravel driveway and saves my back on the garden steps. Used it last week to move 6 heavy potted trees and it worked a treat!” – Tim Vallance

“…The HandiMoova and HandiDuffel combination is impressive. I took them out for a trial walk along the streets, up kerbs, downstairs and over grass and gravel. It was effortless. Excellent engineering and a superb design.” – Mrs T Scott

“Excellent purchase… Tried it out today moving some compost bags up a steep flight of stairs – perfect. The tall garden bag attachment ordered at same time is also very good value. The trolley is very solidly built and although the free axle wheels take a bit of effort to get used to, they perform well on all kinds of surface.” – Richard Moss

HandiDuffel

Available in both a 95-litre and 135-litre size, the HandiDuffel is the perfect luggage and storage solution for all kinds of scenarios. We’re confident that these industrial strength duffel bags are tough enough to keep your cargo safe, do our customers agree though?

“Needed the HandiDuffel to fit to a motorcycle trailer to store helmets and jackets, absolutely perfect for the job, fits 4 helmets and jackets and keeps them dry…no problem. Fast and efficient delivery…great” – Steve Hextall

“We bought a HandiWorld 135 litre waterproof duffel and have used it a couple of times but not in rain. This weekend, it got a true test. Even through two hours of motorway driving in dismal rain this bag kept everything inside bone dry. Excellent product that folds away to about the size of an old-school laptop bag. I am extremely impressed. If you need extra space but don’t want a rigid box on top of your car, or trailer behind, then this is for you. Thank you for a simple but brilliant product.” – Katie

HandiKart

An essential bit of kit for any water sports enthusiast, our HandiKart is the ultimate piece of equipment for transporting canoes and kayaks from A to B. Who else loves our HandiKart as much as us?

“I have been considering the purchase of a kayak trolley for some time and finally bit the bullet and ordered a HandiKart. The price was exceptional and the service and delivery really good. Having seen the HandiKart in operation I know I have bought a great product and the feel of it simply oozes quality, function and design.” – Steven Bell

“Haven’t had a chance to use my HandiKart properly yet. But tested it on my kayak in the garden and seems really good. Feels and looks solid. Easy to fit and break down for storage in the kayak. So glad I spent that little bit more for what looks like a great cart.” – Tim Price

“I have bought a HandiKart. Good quality, easy to use and exceptional service and delivery. I would recommend this item to anyone” – Roberto Moreno Garcia

THE 5 WORKERS WHO NEED A HANDIMOOVA TO MAKE THEIR JOB EASIER

We may be infamous for our inflatable roof racks but we sell more than just car storage solutions here at HandiWorld. The HandiMoova is another one of our ingenious inventions and something that we think every household needs.

Although we think everyone could get use out of one of these all terrain trolleys with Camba wheel technology, there’s certain kinds of people that would feel the benefits more than others. We’re going to be sharing with you the 5 professions that we think need a HandiMoova to help them in their day to day jobs for an easier life at work.

Gardeners

Thanks to the specialist Camba wheel technology, the HandiMoova is suitable for use on all terrains, making it the perfect helping hand for gardeners wanting to move waste and debris from one area to another.

When paired with the HandiSac, a multipurpose sack, the HandiMoova has a capacity of up to 190-litres and can transport up to 60kg in weight. The strength and space of the HandiMoova and HandiSac combined makes it ideal for shifting waste quickly when you’re re-surfacing or redesigning a garden.

Tradesman

Whether you’re a builder, plumber or electrician, the likelihood is that you have a lot of equipment you need with you at all times and as much as the back of your van is a great storage space, you can’t always park it on-site where you’re working.

For transporting tool boxes and materials, choose the HandiMoova. Suitable for moving easily across the rough terrain of a building site and capable of securely carrying all the equipment you could need for the job with the help of the HandiBungees, our all terrain trolley is going to save plenty of trips back and forth to your van!

Stallholder

Whether you’re a hobby crafter who heads to local fetes and fairs on the weekends to earn some extra cash or holding a stall at major events is your full-time job, a HandiMoova is an investment you won’t regret.

When it comes to setting up your stall, you can often find yourself lugging bags and boxes miles from where you were able to park your car but with the help of the HandiMoova, you can simply strap everything on and pull it along with you. Thanks to the design of the wheels, this all terrain trolley is lightweight to pull and easy to navigate around tight spaces, hence it is perfect for wheeling in and out of stalls.

Door to Door Sales People

If your average working day sees you heading from door to door to sell a product, you’ll probably find yourself lugging plenty of bags along with you filled with products, leaflets and more. Save yourself the arm ache by packing everything on to the HandiMoova and simply bringing it with you.

With the help of the HandiBungee cords, you can get on with your job in confidence that you have everything you need with you and it is being securely transported right by your side.

First Aiders

Are you the first aider in charge at a festival? Do you spend the Summer season taking care of holiday park visitors? The HandiMoova is an essential bit of kit for any first aider.

When you need to get to someone quick and need all your kit with you, the HandiMoova is here to help. Simply strap all your boxes, bags and first aid kits on to the trolley and you can quickly and easily transport all the equipment you need, wherever you need to go.

Whether you need to head through mud, sand, grass or rocky terrain, our all-terrain trolley is ready for anything and will ensure your cargo remains safe and secure on board.

The above are just a handful of people who would really feel the benefits from having a HandiMoova. We think everyone needs one of these multipurpose trolleys in the house, whether it’s for everyday use or a ‘just in case’ measure is up to you!
