We recently received an order for a pair of Nooka Sunglasses from a customer who had ordered from us before, only this time time they left us a note in the “Customer notes” section of the order…

The note said “Deliver with love“. Well a little bit of love goes into all our orders but this customer obviously wanted something special. The Gyro team are a pretty creative bunch and we thought long and hard about how we could fulfil the customer’s request to “Deliver with love“. We came up with all sorts of ideas including dressing up in a big love heart costume and surprising the customer with a personal delivery from our Managing Director but in the end we decided to keep it simple.

One of our Gyro service superstars made tracks to the local shops where he bought all the … Read More »

Forget the boring conventional dome tent! You’ll be the envy of the camp site with this amazing new VW Kombi Camper Van Tent from the Monster Factory.

Officially licensed by Volkswagon (no kidding!), this tent is literally a full size (1:1 scale) replica of the 1965 VW Kombi Camper Van! It’s large enough for the average person to stand up in and internally zip-divided into two rooms, sleeping 4 people in total. Fly sheet doors separate the inner compartments and a waterproof groundsheet is sewn into the inside of the tent. There’s also handy wall pockets to store your belongings.

All materials, ropes, pegs, poles etc are high quality as the product is actually manufactured by the same factory that produces tents for trusted North Face, K2 and Coleman brands.

Whether you’re headed to Byron Bay Bluesfest, Playground Weekender, Splendour in the Grass or just planning … Read More »

Luminara candles offer the beauty and elegance of a traditional burning candle, minus the safety concerns.

There’s no denying the ambience that only a real candle can provide…….until now that is.

The patented ‘Artificial Flame Technology’ was developed by Disney’s ‘imagineers’ and used in the Haunted Mansion attractions at Disney’s theme parks. This same technology now brings some of this Disney magic into your home.

What makes Luminara so unique is that the Luminara ‘flame’ moves in a completely random fashion just like a real candle. The effect, which is created by two magnets repelling against each other, results in a natural glow and flicker that (to the untrained eye) is indistinguishable from a real candle.

Forget other flameless candles, these are superior in every way. In fact when we were testing the product, we were dining with a friend who certainly didn’t realise they weren’t real … Read More »

After more than a year in the works, our friends at Ziiiro (who brought us the ever popular ‘Celeste’ and ‘Mercury’ watches) have created something really special. Introducing the Ziiiro Saturn.

Ziiiro have injected the same philosophy of crafting unconventional timepieces with no clock hands or markings, but instead using the changing patterns of rings. What makes the Ziiiro ‘Saturn’ so special though, is the introduction of an EL (Electroluminescent) display, which not only makes night readability possible, but provides a distinctive and eye-catching new look.

Available in Black, Gunmetal and Chrome
