SOS Valentine!

admin — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 13:10:07 +0000

Need a SOS-plan to surprise your lover tonight? Print out this cute little ‘selfmade’ hart, cut it out and surprise him tonight! Print out a couple of times, because sometimes men don’t get the message immediately…

Put it in the bag of crisps he opened yesterday and for sure will finish today. Hide it in the fridge. Put it underneath his dinnerplate. Leave it on the toilet seat (he never lifts it up anyway). Wrap it around his toothbrush. Put it underneath his pillow. By the time he goes to bed, he should have gotten the message….

We wish all HB lovers a happy Valentine!

New shop concept

admin — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 13:19:47 +0000

Hampton Bays is no longer just a fashion brand. A Hampton Bays store is no longer just a surrounding. Hampton Bays is stepping into a lifestyle, reflecting a way of life.

Entering the new HB store feels like entering the living-room of a beach house in the Hamptons. Creating a feeling of being away from everyday life. With ‘up-cycled’ materials, inspiring quotes and surprising details we create a positive, “laidback” atmosphere. We want to inspire you and leave a smile on your face! The materials are customized to the location of the store, so each store is a little bit different.

Come and have a look, be inspired by our new interior and you will find yourself in The Hamptons! Ghent is already open and Antwerp opens this Saturday February the 4th.

Party tip 2: Glass recognizer

admin — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 13:15:13 +0000

Tired of losing your glass during parties? Don’t worry because nobody will lose its glass during your party!! Print pictures of your coming guests (if you don’t have pictures of your friends, you will probably find them on Facebook, Netlog or any other social media website) and stick them on a skewer stick. The pictures will give the drinks a fancy finishing touch and nobody will lose its glass.

Tip: You can also make your own glass recognizer stick with your own picture so that you can bring it with you to parties of others or you can use funny quotes, nice names or colors to stick on the skewer stick instead of pictures.

Like water is a basic need of a human being, so is a sweet punch the basic need of a party. Surprise your guests with these delicious and easy to make nonalcoholic party punch.

10-12 servings
Ingredients:
1 bowl with frozen strawberries
3 limes
2 liters of lime soda
3 cups of natural grape juice

Directions:
Defrost the strawberries at room temperature for a couple of hours before use. Put the strawberries in your blender and blend until they are smooth.
