When the new-season preview arrived in our inbox, it's safe to say the whole team here at Ideal Home HQ felt giddy. With cries of 'oohhh, look there's an Avocado float!' and 'Which one should I get?' there's suddenly a sense of summer in the air (despite that air currently being gale force).
Without further ado, here's what's new this season. Happy summer shopping all...
Here are a few familiar faces. Both the Flamingo and Unicorn floats were best-selling designs of Summer 2018.
