We've featured numerous variations of the 1960s-styled Diana camera, but the Lomo Diana F+ CMYK camera does bring something new to the table – lots of colour.

It's pretty much your average Diana, a recreation of that 60s cult classic complete with oversized flash and good for those colour-drenched, slightly blurry, but always individual images.

But this time there's that colour – CMYK (pronounced 'smeek' would you believe) covers the Cyan, Magenta, Yellow & Black that make up the colour combination of the casing. Want one? This old school film cam will cost you from £84.42.

The Alphabot Print by Bold & Noble combines two of our favourite things – typography and retro robots.

The print features a robot whose body is made up from letters of the alphabet, making it not only a great decorative item, but also educational too if you want to hang it on your child’s wall rather than keep it for yourself. The print is available in a choice of cobalt blue or metallic silver, both priced £38. the prints are sold unframed, but measuring 50cm by 70cm, they do fit standard frames.

Best to get in quick and buy yourself a calendar before a relative can buy you a “cute” kittens one for Christmas. My suggestion would be the John French Photography Calendar from the V&A.

Each month features a gorgeous black and white photograph from the V&A’s archive of French’s work. The images date from the 1950s and 1960s, and include photographs of fashion model as well as icons such as Jean Shrimpton.

The calendar costs £9.99 and can be bought from the V and A Shop.
