Want to make your kid your coolest child on the block? You should get them kitted out in these Waterloo retro rock and film t-shirts for kids.

We have featured Waterloo before and these mini-versions of the company’s classic shirts are every bit as good as the big ones, including designs from the likes of Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin, along with Willy Wonka, a ‘mod’ target and A Clockwork Orange, all available for kids aged from two to six.

Typical is this Rolling Stones t-shirt, based on a sleeve from a long-forgotten compilation album and featuring the iconic ‘tongue’ design. You can pick this (and the others) up for $24.95, which is around £13. And they ship worldwide.

Shag-designed Luxuria Music t-shirt

When that cool online radio station you occasionally tune into asks for funds, do you ever donate? For many, the answer is ‘no’ – after all, someone else will surely pick up the tab. Well, often they don’t and the stations go under. But one particularly cool station has a particularly big reason to donate – this Shag-designed Luxuria Music t-shirt.

It’s a fundraising t-shirt for Luxuria Music, a US-based station offering Surf Music, Bossa Nova, Exotica, Space-Age Bachelor Pad, Jazz, Soft-Psych, Sunshine Pop, Wall of Sound, Latin, Go-Go, and Film & TV music of the past 50 years. Something for everyone you might say. And to keep the station online, you can pick up this t-shirt in black or white and in both male and female sizes, all featuring this brand new Shag design.

It retails from $36 (£18) plus postage, but be quick as sizes are already selling through.

Admittedly it’s a bit late for the Christmas party, but if you happen to be having any other sort of gathering, this Andy Warhol Lips pop art plate set could be ideal for your nibbles.

These matching (but slightly individual) plates are made of melamine, are dishwasher safe and even come in a smart storage box for when the party’s over.

Available at the Museum of Contemporary Art store, the set retails for $17 (around £9), a little bit cheaper if you happen to be an MCA member.

Retro cat string holder

If you’ve had an object in the home that you don’t use very often, it really has to look good – and that’s certainly the case with this retro cat string holder.

Yes, that’s a string holder. I can count on one hand the number of occasions I have needed string this year – in fact, one finger would do. But if string is your thing and you also need storage for your scissors (in the collar), this retro cat could be for you.

It can be used as an ornament or fixed to the wall. Whatever you do with it, the cat retails for £21.

More details and photos emerge of the 2008 Ford Mustang Bullitt car

Back in May, we mentioned that Ford was producing a limited edition Ford Mustang Bullitt to commemorate 40s years since its appearance in the movie. And as we enter 2008, more details and pictures have emerged.

The 2008 Ford Mustang Bullitt has a 4.6-litre V8 engine, a sport-tuned chassis and suspension to boost handling (if you fancy re-creating that car chase) and a ‘revised rear-axle ratio’ for better acceleration. The paint job will be Dark Highland Green (as the original), the car will be without logos – again as the film car was and most bizarrely of all, the exhaust sound will be just as the original, with the designers having listened to the movie soundtrack to get it just right.

I’m personally not excited by the look of the car, but it could be a shrewd investment, with just 7,700 of these being made. Expect it in 2008 for $31,075 (around £16,000).
