To help people in the UK survive the long, cold and dark days of winter, easyJet Holidays put together a Beach in a Box kit to cure the winter blues. The at-home beach kit includes items like a sunny backdrop, a UVB lamp and 20kg of sand. To immerse all of the senses in the experience of a warm-weather getaway, the kit also includes plug-in sound simulator to create the sound of waves, an aroma diffuser to scent homes with the aroma of olive groves and a pina colada cocktail kit.
Curated to bring the experience of the Mediterranean home, the beach-themed kit responds to consumer research that says 70% of Brits are daydreaming about holidays at work and booking trips on company time.
At £19.99, the box is redeemable from the price of a package holiday with easyJet Holidays.
