PRODUCT PORN
We swung open our metaphorical doors in 1998 under the name hotbox.co.uk. One small snag - Hot Box was an existing company that peddled hardcore pornography. Not really our bag, we were more into cool gifts and (non-sexual) gadgets. A quick name change later and Firebox.com was born.
Our first original creation was The Shot Glass Chess Set - a timeless cerebral battle of wits meets “getting pissed”. The more pieces you take, the more drunk you get. Nice. A fitting start to set the tone for future Firebox Creations - unusual gifts, with a twist.
Fast forward twenty years and we're still coming up with mad products that make us laugh (and pleasantly drunk). Using our closely-guarded extraction methods we harvest the tears of fantastical beasts to bring you premium Mythical Spirits.
AND THAT'S NOT ALL.
F*cking Strong Coffee, the world's hottest chilli chocolate, Spreadable Gin & Tonic, “Mushions” (squishy cushions with your face printed on it). We invented the Mystery Box because we got bored of everyone getting exactly what they asked for. Gift-giving used to mean something - what happened to the risk? The suspense? The surprise? We’re bringing it allll back. Put your fate in our hands and treat someone to a bit of mystery.
Give your presents that ‘personal touch’ with CrapWrap™ - the Original Anti-Wrapping Service by Firebox. Forget meticulously wrapped presents with sickly ribbons and bows - think wretched rips and tears, pathetic attempts at folding, the odd stray hair. Wrapping something this terribly is a fine art and our warehouse staff are given full creative freedom.
