Happy New Year from all of us at Desert River. We hope that you welcomed in 2012 in style, and that you are managing to stick to your resolutions…. already broken them? Don't worry, use ours, it's simple – get out more! Get off the sofa and into your garden, the park or the beach, there's a whole world out there and we're about to show you how to enjoy it, Desert River style!

To celebrate our new Facebook page we will be giving away some very cool prizes. For your chance to win a Fatboy Soulbag, all you have to do is be one of the first 500 people to 'Like' our page. What's more, once you like us you will then be the first to hear about our new products, see event pictures and of course be invited to our legendary warehouse sales!

The ultimate outdoor companion, the Knäpsäck from Fatboy is perfect for an impromptu picnic. Opening out to a diameter of 180cm, the strong, lightweight material is water and dirt resistant so is ideal for the beach or park. But, best of all, when you're done, just pull the red cord and all the gear is gathered up inside and you're left with a cool bag to swing over your shoulder. Ta da! Purchase online at filini.com or contact our office on 04 323 3636.

No, it's not the latest superhero (although we think it's pretty great), this Marimekko print umbrella from Fatboy provides a huge 3.5m diameter of shade. Reminiscent of the flower power era you'll be, like, totally peaced-out relaxing underneath it maaan! Available in red or black, for purchase or rental.
