May 2017

FAN PHOTO OF THE MONTH

May's photo of the month was sent in by Jennifer Hostettler who left us a 5 star review on Amazon. This is our favourite photo of the year so far and shows how much fun you can have in our costumes! 

"These suits were the hit of our Memorial Day Survivor Challenge camping weekend. Taking a little inspiration from Ellen and her Sumo games we decided the frogs were a better match for us! And who could not love them. Good quality. Despite some aggressive soccer, a bit of wrestling, and kids and 6'7" adults squeezing into them they are still intact and work well. As you can see we really enjoyed them."  

Jennifer - A happy Bodysocks customer 😁

WELCOME TO OUR NEW BLOG!

Now that we are well into the new Year we thought it was about time we stuck to one of our 2017 resolutions here at Bodysocks – starting a Blog! Every month we will keep you updated with the latest news here at our HQ, everything from our favourite photo of the month to introducing you to the latest costumes to arrive here at our South Wales base. We hope you enjoy catching up with us and if you have any ideas for the blog then please drop us a message!

FAN PHOTO OF THE MONTH

Our favourite photo this month has to be this one sent into our Facebook by Denise Barby. A lot of effort obviously went into this Jamaican Bobsleigh team costume, so much so that Denise’s 82 Year old mother even came along as their coach, fantastic effort!

 

"Feel the rhythm! Feel the rhyme! Get on up, its bobsled time!"

Our Cool running’s costumes are only £24.99 and can be found here!

Please keep sending your photos in, we love seeing them and would love to share them with our many followers on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram!

NEW YEARS DAY SWIM

It was around November 2016 when we received a message asking if we could help with the famous New Years Day swim held in Saundersfoot. We, of course, jumped at the opportunity to contribute to this fantastic event which seems to get bigger and better every year.

 

2017 'Cold Cup' Runners

The ‘Cold Cup’ is a brilliant feature on the day and involved 8 locals each representing a different pub based in Saundersfoot, they only had one thing missing, animals to race on! We were delighted to be able to supply some of our inflatable animal costumes to the race. The race itself was great fun and the feedback we received back from some of the spectators regarding our costumes certainly made it all worthwhile.

We’d like to thank the organisers for giving us the chance to get involved and can hopefully look forward to a different range of costumes being displayed in the 2018 ‘Sand National’.

The prize they were all after! Here is our director Jack with the NYD Swim mascot, Charlie Shivers

 Shop our inflatable costumes here, now including our safari range!

ELLY'S WARD 10 FLAG APPEAL

We were very touched by a visit from a local hero back in November. Elly is a very inspiring young girl who has raised a staggering amount of money for 'Ward 10' at our local hospital in Haverfordwest. Elly’s father Lyn got in touch with us about donating a costume to the cause and we didn’t hesitate in inviting Elly round to our warehouse and offering her a children’s inflatable dinosaur costume, which judging by Elly’s face, she loved it! To find out more about Elly’s brilliant efforts please click here.

Elly loved her new pet!

KIDS COSTUMES

After Seeing the joy on young Elly's face we were inspired to expand our Children’s range! Coming in March this year we have an expanded range of ride on inflatable costumes which kids will love! With a mixture of farmyard, safari and mythical animals we are sure to have a costume your child will love riding around for hours on end! We also have hilarious Musclemen and Sumo costumes which will steal all the laughs at your child’s next big party!

Coming soon!

Our children's inflatable dinosaur is now back in stock, check it out!

RUGBY

And finally….

We couldn’t leave this blog without mentioning the up and coming Six Nations. We are very excited for the feast of rugby we will be treated to over the next few weeks and are hoping Wales can finish at the top! For all the Welsh fans out there we have the perfect costume for the big games! Our inflatable dragon costume is only £29.99 and is a great way to show off your love for the boys in red!
