Tansafe – Beach thieves be gone!
£7.99
Firebox’s ‘Tansafe’ is a great way to hide your valuables on the beach. Rules for the beach/pool side are quite straightforward: never wear socks with sandals, never tie a hankie round your head and never leave your valuables on show.
This clever contraption looks just like a regular bottle of suntan lotion, so you simply pop off its watertight lid and put your valuables inside. Mobile phones, credit cards, watches and room keys are now hidden from thieves that wont look twice at a bottle of SPF25.
For valuables that can’t stay behind in the hotel safe, the TanSafe is an essential travelling companion.
