Cheer up a rainy day with these unique umbrellas the kids will love
Samurai Umbrella
Who said umbrellas had to be boring? The Samurai style umbrella from Firebox can double up as a weapon to fight off the baddies. It comes with a push button opening and features a samurai sword-style handle that’s really realistic, just in case you wanted to test out your Kill Bill moves. The full-length version comes with a shoulder strap so the umbrella can sit on your back. Great for your older kids or to demonstrate to your younger ones how skilled dads can be with a sword in hand. If you’re not feeling at full fighter level, there’s a compact version half the size.
