Ray-Bans: They get overloaded with superfluous adjectives, but I think that “cool”says it all.
I don’t have kids, but if I did they’d definitely be wearing a pair of Ray-Bans (see above) and probably this cute bathing costume: Fingers crossed I don’t have a boy….
Say what you like about Kate Moss, the girlies I know always seem very impressed with her line at Topshop (although I personally I think she has as much input as David Beckham does on his autobiography(s)). From this summers collection we have a wrap dress, we have a poppy print strapless dress and we have a maxi dress….and they all started at 99p with only a few days to go.
Beach, Park or Street: Buy an Ipod (This Ipod is about as good value as you will get - 99p at the time of writing), put some tunes on it. Sorted.
Hands up time once again for the Flog Blogger: I’d never heard of Birkenstock sandals until they landed on my desk last week and I’ve literally seen them everywhere since. Maybe I’m stating the obvious, but they seem to be the “must have” thing to show off your toes with this summer. We have three pairs (yes, 3) for £50. That's just over £15 a piece if you've got two mates with the same size feet....
World cup final this weekend: We’re not selling anything Orange or Spanish and I’ve already written a whole blog on the replica World Cup, so not a lot else to say.
Adios a todos,

The Flogit4u team wouldn’t be normal football fans, nae human beings, if we didn’t hoist this amazing item above our heads at least once, shake it about, maybe even kiss it and feel the adulation of a whole nation…I really hope I’m not the only person in the office who’s done this.
So, what can you do with an actual size model of the famous Jules Rimet trophy?
1) Pretend Scotland have finally won the World Cup and you’ve just wrestled the trophy from the Queen before waving it in front on the screaming home fans (Scotland always beats England at Wembley in my dreams).
2) Recreate the 1966 final in your living room (although you might as well just watch it on any number of TV shows that will be showing it over the course of the next month).
3) Put it in your restaurant: I’ve only see one of these in the past and it was in a small pizzeria in Aberdeen. It had pride of place in the window and my Dad convinced me that it was the actual trophy and that the chef won it for making good pizzas.
4) Take it to the park and host the most elaborate presentation ceremony ever to grace the end of a casual kick about with your mates. (I really, really want to do this).

The FlogBlogger doesn’t have kiddy-winkies just yet, but that doesn’t stop him from loving some of the wicked things that kids these days have designed for them:
Firstly, a Greco swinging chair thingy…I can’t be the only one that could quite easily chill in front of the telly with a beer on one of these.
Now, if I was four again I think this would freak me out more than anything else. However, it may have stopped me from drawing on the skirting boards in the house. My first "hobby".
Finally, on the subject of tots, I owe this video a lot for sparing my blushes today: Two of us struggling to make it even resemble a pram…until we found the magic little button thing. Unfortunately, Nick was off or we’d have had it up and down in a flash. Maybe I should be filming him opening and closing prams and put them on Youtube: share his skills with the world.
Really finally…I went to few birthday parties when I was a kid, but never did I see a clown as good as this in action. Although his eyes are a wee bit freaky.
Have a lovely weekend.

Regular followers will know that the FlogBlogger is a massive Banksy fan and has written about him a couple of times over the years. So, it has been a week of mixed emotions....
Firstly: The classic “Sweeping Maid” which stood resplendent in all of its peeling glory near Chalk Farm Tube Station was painted over with a nauseatingly bright piece of artwork. No offence to the artist, but the dull faded glory of the cheeky Banksy always made me smile as I strolled by, now I take a different route so I don’t have to.
…And then, on the very same day : A customer asked us to sell this limited edition Banksy screen print for her, complete with the original certificate and all of the trimmings. One of my favourite Flogit4u auctions so far, which is saying something considering some of the super cool things we get in on a weekly basis. A mixed week, maybe, but it’s still pretty cool to have held a piece of modern art history…just for a wee minute.

Drake told MTV News US: "When I was 17, I was heavy on eBay I was a beast. I was like an eBay guru, man. I used to call him up [his friend Niko] and be like, 'Yo, what are you doing?,' And I'd be like, 'Shopping on eBay, bro.' "
Not sure if he ever used Flogit4u, but if he’s browsing the site tonight he may be interested in this stunning timepiece….or "Ice" as P Diddy would say. Probably.
He might also like these shades, although they are probably more Lady gaga than Dizeee Rascal.
Do rappers still wear impressive gold chains??? If so, Drake might want to put his “eBay guru” skills to the test and make us an offer on this solid gold chain (with diamonds for extra razzle dazzle. Shizzle?).

Some very brief tips on how David Cameron and Nick Clegg can kick off their leadership with style – click on the links and go straight to the auctions at Flogit4u:
There’s going to be fist shaking aplenty in the first few sessions of parliament - which means lots of cuffs on show. If you can’t wow your opponents – or colleagues – with your new, shiny policies, you can at least impress with you new, shiny cufflinks: These ones for Dave – steering the country + These ones for Nick – a lighter shade of blue
Will the Lib and Con leaders consult each other before a debate to make sure their shirts and ties don’t clash? Like girls preening before a big night out, I’m sure there will be some heated discussion about who wears what. We’ll help make the decision for them:TM Lewin for Dave - a prestigious brand for a prestigious chap+Boss for Nick - because he kind of is.
If they aren’t already, Nick and Dave are going to have to get used to press flashbulbs blinding them wherever they go – slipping on a pair of designer shades will soon be second nature for them.Von Dutch for Dave – suitably cool.+Ray Ban for Nick – understated classic
We know that the Prime Minister and his Deputy have their clothes picked specifically for them according to the situation – particularly ties. But do they have their sock colour dictated to them too? Probably not, but if they did….. For Dave – Sober, classic Grey+ For Nick – Renegade, shocking purple

1) Get away from it all: Buy a boat – this boat – and leave this island until order is restored
2) Sit back and enjoy it: It’s all very exciting: Put on the telly, pop the kettle on and sit back on these comfy leather seats and enjoy – and try to understand - the spectacle.
3) Get out and take some pictures of it: Central London is a veritable media circus – why not join in and snap a politician with this digital camera:
4) Have a drink to celebrate (or commiserate) it:We’re not condoning drinking on the streets….But if you absolutely had to, you should do it in style with this leather bound designer hip flask.
