Seasonal

Winter

The festive season brings a host of exciting activities, from exploring bustling Christmas markets to taking your pets on scenic snowy walks. Activities such as these give you time to enjoy yourself and unwind, whilst embracing the beauty of winter.

The festive season is known as a time for giving and showing gratitude to all of those around you. You may be feeling a bit stuck on what to get your loved ones at this time of year, as gifting becomes more and more difficult when each December rolls around. We want to show you how our practical gift, the Hatchbag boot liner, is a great present to give car enthusiasts, hikers, dog owners and so many more. With keeping a car’s interior spotless, the turn around between the Christmas and New Year travels becomes a lot more seamless.

Why should you gift a Hatchbag?

We believe the Hatchbag boot liner is a thoughtful and practical gift to give to your loved ones. At Hatchbag, we are dedicated to making our customer’s journeys run seamlessly and smoother. By gifting a Hatchbag, you are helping your loved ones out in reducing the time spent cleaning their vehicle’s interior. This allows for more time spent enjoying the adventures ahead, all the while keeping their car’s interior spotless. The festive season and the winter months are a great opportunity to adventure in your car. Helping your loved ones out in taking away that worry about cleaning, is a thoughtful gesture.

Who should I gift a Hatchbag to?

The Hatchbag boot liner is great to gift to anyone with a car, but we think there will be people who are extra appreciative of our liner. Firstly, dog owners are great people to target when you are thinking of gift giving. We know that after a walk, dogs jump in to the boot of the car covered in mud and smelling not particularly pleasant. Especially in these colder and wetter months, this becomes more of a problem, and regularly deep cleaning your boot becomes a chore. The Hatchbag boot liner eliminates the hours spent cleaning your boot, letting the adventures begin now. You may want to gift dog owners an odour mat in addition to the liner, to prevent those pesky pet smells from lingering in your car.

When considering a boot liner as a gift, your loved ones who are outdoor enthusiasts would be a great choice. Hiking equipment, muddy walking boots and even camping gear can really affect the condition of your boot. To avoid wear and tear of your boot from heavy and sharp objects, investing in a Hatchbag boot liner is an efficient option. The liner is made from reinforced PVC, which is durable and tear- proof, protecting the entirety of an outdoor enthusiast’s boot. A Hatchbag liner would be a great gifting choice for those who love the outdoors!

Will the Hatchbag make my Christmas travels easier?

Whether you are transporting presents, bringing some food to a Christmas party or chauffeuring your loved ones around, the Hatchbag has you covered. We want your travels to be seamless and believe the Hatchbag is the way forward in attaining this. Our boot liner prevents that wear and tear and makes spillages easy to clean up. This means you don’t have to worry about spending time cleaning, something you shouldn’t have to think about at Christmas!

Get into the Christmas spirit by ordering a red Hatchbag boot liner. You can embrace the Christmas vibes and also enjoy the striking colour all year round. Check out our Instagram and Facebook to see the red liner installed in cars. The colour is a Hatchbag favourite!

Welcome to Autumn

The autumnal months are here in full force, with the shift in the weather being most notable in the UK. Autumn is representative of change, transformation and preparation. As the autumnal leaves transition into vibrant and striking colours, it makes us feel excitement for new beginnings. It is important to embrace the season, and celebrate all its festivities. Here at Hatchbag, we are seizing the autumnal season, celebrating Halloween and bonfire night, two occasions that are staff favourites. Autumn is also a great time to immerse yourself in the evolving natural landscapes and explore scenic areas that host a good place to hike.

Why our boot liner is perfect for Autumn

Our boot liners are the perfect companion for your autumn adventures, as we believe the cleanliness of your car is important to keep that ease and relaxation supplied by the new season. Whether it’s muddy walking boots or a smelly dog, our Hatchbag boot liner has you covered. The liner is made out of reinforced PVC, which makes it tear-proof, allowing for heavy hiking equipment to be transported without worrying about your boot becoming exposed. We pride ourselves on the quality standard of our product, and believe your boot should have the constant protection that you desire. In addition to the liner, you can also purchase an odour control mat, perfect for preventing those pet odours from lingering in your car.

Our boot liner, aesthetically, also can allow you to embrace the autumnal spirit, and match the oranges, reds and browns that are so prominent in nature. We offer our boot liners in a variety of colours, including those autumnal shades, allowing your car to have a seasonal feel. We showcase our range of colours on our Instagram and Facebook, so feel free to have a browse and see if our autumnal colours would compliment your car.

The most notable shift we see when we get to the later months of the year is the drop in temperatures and rise in rainfall. It is so important to explore the outdoors this season, but we understand that your car can suffer during these months. Without the sunshine drying your pets off, your car gets the brunt of your muddy return. We make our boot liners catering to customer wants and needs.

When cleaning your liner, it remains in the boot, making your job easier and quicker. The boot liner isn’t machine washable, however, cleaning your liner with simple cleaning products in the boot itself saves time and water. You can get rid of all that mud and grime quickly and efficiently. We want the journeys to your autumnal adventures to be easy. At Hatchbag, we take away the worry of your messy boot and guarantee full protection for your car’s interior.

The Great Outdoors

Enjoying the great outdoors is essential for these months as nature is beautiful and ever-changing at this time. After a brisk walk, a forest trail or mountainous hike, the Hatchbag boot liner is the perfect accessory to maintain your clean car. Whether it’s dirt covered walking boots or a muddy dog, our boot liner protects your car from the inevitable dirt in these colder and wetter months.

At Hatchbag, we are all lovers of the great outdoors and exploring nature. The crisp air filled walks and the stunning views allows us to feel relaxed, at ease and a sense of inner peace. It is so important to take breaks from the virtual world and enjoy nature, with the autumnal season being the perfect host for striking natural sights. Hiking not only allows you to connect with nature, but is a social activity that can be enjoyed with friends and family. Being outside in the fresh air is important for us, as it makes us feel better and happier. We would love to recommend some of our favourite walking routes and National Trust properties in the UK, so you can plan your adventures outdoor this season.

Embracing this season is so important and we would love to hear all about your adventures. Send us photographs of your autumnal adventures on our Facebook and Instagram, we would love to see what you get up to!

With autumn being such a great time of year to explore and appreciate nature, the Hatchbag team would like to share some fantastic areas for hikes, and also some National Trust properties that can be a warm and cosy shelter for the unpredictable weather.

On Sunday, 27^th March the UK and Ireland will celebrate Mothering Sunday and we at The Hatchbag Company want to say a big THANK YOU to mothers all around the country!

This year, why not give your mother something that will not wilt or melt, but last a long time? Combine this with the most valuable present of all – spending time together – and you have a truly memorable Mother’s Day gift.

Here are some ideas that are suitable for every budget, but priceless every time:

Make it a fancy, luxury weekend breakaway in a SPA hotel, get a mud bath together and have a giggle reciting quotes form The Mummy during your hydrating full-body wrap.

Take a drive up to the nearest stately home and have a decadent afternoon tea, complete with that glass of bubbly and wishing you both could take the butler home to do all the washing up for you.

Or just have a long, good catchup and set the world to rights again during a leisurely stroll through a public park or gardens, or visit that local farm where you can pick your own flowers (and veg!)

Whether your Mum is outdoorsy, likes to garden or has a dog or two, a perfect gift idea could be a boot liner to protect her car boot from all the mud and dirt that comes with rainy walks, four legged friends and plant soil. The Hatchbag tailor-made car boot protector won’t let any dirt or water get into her car’s interior, it is waterproof and easy to clean (unless you want the car to join in the mud bath at the SPA weekend)
