About Firebox

Product Porn We swung open our metaphorical doors in 1998 under the name hotbox.co.uk. One small snag - Hot Box was an existing company that peddled hardcore pornography. Not really our bag, we were more into cool gifts and (non-sexual) gadgets. A quick name change later and Firebox.com was born. Shots! Shots! Shots! Our first original creation was The Shot Glass Chess Set - a timeless cerebral battle of wits meets “getting pissed”. The more pieces you take, the more drunk you get. Nice. A fitting start to set the tone for future Firebox Creations - unusual gifts, with a twist We make Unicorns cry. Fast forward twenty years and we're still coming up with mad products that make us laugh (and pleasantly drunk). Using our closely-guarded extraction methods we harvest the tears of fantastical beasts to bring you premium Mythical Spirits. And that's not all. F*cking Strong Coffee, the world's hottest chilli chocolate, Spreadable Gin & Tonic, “Mushions” (squishy cushions with your face printed on it). We love surprises. We invented the Mystery Box because we got bored of everyone getting exactly what they asked for. Gift-giving used to mean something - what happened to the risk? The suspense? The surprise? We’re bringing it allll back. Put your fate in our hands and treat someone to a bit of mystery.Read their story
