Dodgem Car Tea Cosy

Description

Vintage dodgem cars are one of those classic funfair rides where everyone wants to be in the driving seat and with the Dodgem Car Tea Cosy, it’s whoever holds the handle who gets to pour. This bright and cheerful bumper‑car‑inspired tea cosy is wonderfully nostalgic, capturing all the charm of a retro fairground dodgem in knitted form.

The cosy is designed to look just like a traditional bumper car, complete with bold vintage paintwork and shiny chrome‑style trims around the lights and body. The base features the iconic thick rubber bumper, ready for imaginary dodgem‑car action, with more protective rubber detailing at the top for that authentic fairground look.

Inside the car sit two happy riders, hands on the steering wheel, clearly enjoying their wild ride. At the back you’ll find classic red tail lights and the distinctive pick‑up pole; the contact pole that connects real dodgem cars to the overhead conductive mesh to power the ride. It’s a brilliant little detail that makes this cosy instantly recognisable to anyone who loves amusement parks and fairground nostalgia.

Not only does this fabulous tea cosy take you straight back to vintage funfairs and seaside amusement arcades, it’s also wonderfully insulating and keeps your teapot piping hot. It’s a perfect gift for anyone who loves retro fairgrounds, quirky homeware, or a playful nod to their driving style.

I think this tea cosy is delightfully nostalgic; it brings back memories of childhood fun, seaside holidays, and the thrill of bumper‑car chaos. And I can think of more than a few people who’d appreciate it as a cheeky joke about their steering skills.

It’s the kind of cosy that makes people smile the moment they see it; a little burst of fairground joy; you won’t find another quite like it.

Because some people never stop driving like they’re on the dodgems.

This Tea Cosy:

• fits a medium sized teapot that holds 6 to 8 cups or 2 pints
• is made from double thickness yarn for extra insulation
