What is available in our online shop?
In the shop, we have focused on fun gifts and smart gadgets suitable for people who enjoy travel, motorhomes, caravans, boating, golf, leisure, holidays or the outdoors. We also have Swedish gifts suitable for travelling abroad.
The idea is to find things that you can't find in many other places. The range will of course be expanded over time! We have lots of ideasbut we need to start on a smaller scale. Right now you will find above all:
- Presenter
- Gadgets for the home/kitchen (including baking!)
- Smart gadgets for leisure and outdoor life
- Motorhome, caravan, boating, golf and more themed gadgets
Quality, materials and partners
We have been careful to select products in sustainable materials and good quality. We have several different partners, and have purchased products from Germany and the USA, among others.
Here in Sweden, we collaborate with a company called Pufz, which manufactures products in silicone, which is a light, flexible, durable and environmentally friendly material (free of phthalates and bisphenol A, BPA-free). Together with the company, we have also developed a whole new collection of products with a motorhome/caravan theme. Fantastic fun!
Opening offers - lots of great prices
We're kicking off this first weekend with some great opening offers. You'll find really good prices on several of our products. The prices apply to only Saturday and Sunday (8-9 August), after which prices will revert to normal. The products concerned are labelled with "Rea!”.
How to find the online shop
You can always find the shop by clicking on "WEB SHOP" in the menu under the blog title. If you then want to find your way back to the blog, just click on "FREEDOMtravel" at the very top. You can also find the online shop by clicking on the link here:
How to find the online shop
We hope it will be easy to find in the online shop, but here are some tips:
- At the top are categories - you can click on these to find products in the desired category
- At the bottom are labels - you can also use these to find the products you want.
If you want to buy something, add the product(s) to your shopping basket. You then click on your shopping basket to pay. We have a fixed shipping fee of SEK 49, regardless of how many products you buy. If you buy more than SEK 500, we offer free shipping. You can pay by credit card or swish.
A lot of work behind the scenes
Why did we even start an online shop? One of the reasons was that many of our jobs and trips abroad were cancelled this year due to COVID-19, which meant we had less income and more time. We have often thought that we would like to sell different products, and now the opportunity came. We already had a website, so it couldn't be that difficult, could it?
Wow, how wrong we were! It's lucky sometimes that you don't know how much work different projects will involve, otherwise you would never dare to embark on them. It has taken a huge amount of time to build the website, find the right partners, write agreements, read up on the rules for this and that, label products with Swedish texts, photograph and film products, enter product information on the website, apply for and install payment solutions, find the right shipping solutions and a thousand other things that we could never imagine before we started.
Who are we behind the online shop?
If you found your way here because of the shop and don't know us before, maybe a little introduction is in order! Our names are Peter and Helena Bergström and we run the blog FREEDOMtravel, Sweden's largest blog about travel, adventure and camping. We travel by motorhome, but also by plane, boat or train when it suits us. We started the blog in 2009 and publish a post every morning at 06:00. Currently we have about:
- 85 000 unique visitors/month
- 160 000 page views/month
The statistics are according to Google Analytics (which is the industry standard, reliable statistical tool). You can also find us on @freedomtravelnews at Facebook and Instagram.

How nice that you want to look around Eva! Your comment ended up in spam (I don't know why), but I usually check in from time to time and fix!

Matts Torebring says:
Congratulations and good luck, now you will grow out of the boat in a few days, it was professional from the start! I see, I know, what GREAT work you have done. It doesn't happen by itself.
I remember when the internet was in its infancy. In the TV box sat Clas Olsson's CEO and there was the CEO of the Post Office, the programme host asked how much money have you spent on the Internet? The CEO of the Post Office replied several hundred million. The CEO of Clas Olsson replied 20,000 SEK. At the time, we were in the same boat as Clas Olsson. Over the years, many millions have been invested for us too. We expand and develop our online store, payment solutions, logistics, pretty much every day. Today we have just under 15,000 products, this after we ended the cooperation with our largest supplier with about 3000 products, We have always, to the chagrin of many, shown our stock in real time www,torebrings.se

Helena says:
Thank you very much Matts! It means a lot that you, who are so experienced in this field, say it looks professional! Of course, we have started on a relatively small scale. We may not be planning to become gigantic either, but of course we want to develop, innovate and add new products as soon as we can.

Thank you! We got a bit "idle" during the corona spring, and then we needed to find something new 😉.

Husis blog says:
What a nice shop you have opened. The question is whether you can get a FREEDOM2 boat with all the stuff. Or can you put the mattress over the boxes?
Now the owners are going to go in and do some more research, so perhaps an order can be placed.
All the best and good luck with your venture!
08 August 2020 - 11:09
Helena says:
Thank you very much! Haha, yes, an extra boat might be needed 😉.

Very good idea and niche! Understand that there is a lot of work behind it. Perfect with small film clips like the demonstration of the water filter. So professional and inspiring! Again: Good luck!

It's in vogue and I've done more online shopping now than before. So simple!
Congratulations! 😀
(Now I have Caravan-Svensson here in town...) but it was a long time since we were there.
08 August 2020 - 21:20
Helena says:
Yes, that's the way it is! We have also been shopping online more than before! We won't compete with the big giants, but we hope to offer fun products that you can't find elsewhere.

BP says:
What work you have put into the website!!! Very professional, and lots of different products both fun and different. Guess you will soon need your own warehouse, when the shop grows out of the houseboat.
The Wettexes were the best. I think Ama who collects dishcloths will be delighted.
08 August 2020 - 21:28
Helena says:
Very nice to hear that you like our store! Your point of view feels very important to us 🙂 Maybe there will be an external warehouse in the future, but you have to start on a limited scale 😉.

Maria/ Magnolia Magis says:
Good luck!!! So fun when your ideas become reality! You already have a lot of things! Here we can find Christmas presents for our German friends. Good continuation!!?
08 August 2020 - 21:39
Helena says:
Thank you very much! I will probably also use some of this stuff as gifts for foreign friends 🙂 .
09 August 2020 - 22:07
BP says:
Me again: Forgot to wish you good luck with the web shop! It's great that you included the Taracci jacket, which I admired a number of times when Peter was wearing it. Too bad it's only made for guys.
08 August 2020 - 21:53
Helena says:
Thank you! We might not be the optimal retailer for the Taracci stuff really, but we like them so much, so we brought them! 🙂

Emma, sun like sun? says:
I could have told you that there is a lot to think about and do if you start a shop and have to comply with all the laws and regulations.
I wish you all the best and hope you sell a lot. Now I will look in and see what you have filled the shop with.
08 August 2020 - 22:51
Helena says:
Yes, indeed, a lot of work! Have you done something similar? Maybe it would have been good to be warned, or in a way it was good not to realise 😉 (And of course we still have work to do, even if some things are fixed).
09 August 2020 - 22:10
Ama de casa says:
WOW!!! What a job you have put in! Fun stuff and BP was right - the wettexes were by far the best 😀.
Good luck with the online shop!
