Eurovision is here again! Europhiles and people with questionable musical tastes rejoice! Whether you’re going out or staying in we have some excellent ways to help enhance your Eurovision experience and make it that much more euphoric.
First of all grab yourself a map of Europe so you can keep a track of where exactly Moldova, Lithuania and Azerbaijan are. And no, it probably won’t include Australia.
National Geographic Wall Map of Europe £20.99
If you want to be in the know and impress your friends (or random strangers) with interesting nuggets of Eurovision related European trivia make sure to pick up “Eurovision: A Modern History of Europe Through the World’s Greatest Song contest” by Chris West.
Heaven forbid you turned up to a friend’s Eurovision house party empty-handed so why not get yourself a World Map Baking set and adorn your cupcakes with miniature flags.
Perhaps you’re more concerned about the recent geopolitics and controversies in host nation Ukraine. In that case, you might like to read The Gates of Europe: A History of Ukraine by Serhii Plokhy or Borderland: A Journey Through the History of Ukraine by Anna Reid
Finally, if you really want to score a social douze points, make sure you’ve got a flag to fly. We’ve got a pretty extensive range so whether you’re supporting the UK entrant (who is she again?), your office sweepstake or someone who caught your eye in the semi finals we’ve got you covered.
Flags from £1.99
