Stuffed with Love retro toys and cards

If you had an upbringing in the 70s, you may well have played with strange "sew-your-own" cloth creatures. Well, if nostalgia has left you pining for a psychedelic rag doll, fear not, they're back - courtesy of these Stuffed with Love kits and accompanying greetings cards.

Make your own psychedelic snail, lov'd up lion, hippy tortoise or, if you prefer, a strange-looking owl called Magnus. Each kit comes with full instructions, uses hand-screen-printed 100% cotton cloth and comes with a few retro extras, including your very own "Love" badge.

Or if all that sounds like hard work, the company makes some really cool greetings cards, using characters made by the company, shot against a backdrop of vintage fabric.

Prices vary for each kit and card - check on the Umpen Editions website for your nearest retailer.
