Some times it feels like the rain will never stop and one days like these, there is no point in ruining a decent pair of shoes. But what to wear instead? Wellies? There is certainly plenty of choice out there although many designs are in danger of being too twee or straying into novelty territory.
Not these Red Lace Up Wellies though. These are infinitely tougher looking than your average Wellington boot, reminiscent in fact of the cherry Doc Martens beloved of many a punk or skinhead. Not cheap at £70 and only available in sizes 36 to 41, they are however made from 100% waterproof rubber and have a fleece lining.
They can be bought online from Cocoa Bean.
Unchanged for over 50 years, the Tala Dry Cooks Measure is as iconic as things get in the world of baking. There has been no need to change the design as it is pretty good as it is and more importantly, it works on a practical level too. 
In the past, we’ve suggested clothing for dressing your little ones as mods, punks and hippies, but this line of baby clothes from Thornback and Peel goes back to the Victorian era for its imagery. 
A whole world away from most of the other clocks we’ve featured is the Camembert Cheese Clock. It is not actually made from the French dairy product, but from the box in which these cheeses are sold. 
If you know a fair bit about 60s design, you will probably recognise the image on the right. If not, you may well wonder what it is, what it does and why on earth you would want actually one. 
If the 1930s Audi Type C sports car featured here last week is beyond your budget (quite likely), here is a Vintage Pedal Car that costs a fraction of the price.
